Electrical equipment
Do not operate electrical equipment without an in date Portable Appliance Test (PAT) sticker. ISIS can provide a PAT testing service if you are unable to test your equipment at your institute. If you require PAT testing please indicate this on your ERA or contact Jamie Nutter or the electronics lab before using the equipment.
Mobile device chargers and battery powered devices are exempt from testing but must be in good physical condition and working order.
Non-CE marked electrical equipment must undergo an in-depth electrical inspection and test prior to use. If you plan to use non-CE marked equipment please indicate this on your ERA and contact Jamie Nutter or the electronics lab at least 48 hours before the start of your experiment, to allow enough time for the inspection and tests to be completed.
The operation of electrical equipment that has failed a PAT test or an electrical inspection and test is prohibited at ISIS.
Do not attempt to connect non-UK plug types into UK sockets. The Electrical & Electronic User Support Group can also provide a wide range of plug adaptors. Please contact Jamie Nutter or the electronics lab.
