Clare SafeCheck 8 Bench Safety PAT Tester

The new Clare SafeCheck 8 Bench Safety PAT Tester has been designed specifically to ensure that traceable test results can be stored for rental products when PAT tested between hires.  These traceable test results will clearly demonstrate that a rental product supplied into the DIY or construction industry is electrically safe and functions correctly, at the time of hire.  This is a basic requirement of the HSE, specifically under the Electricity at Work regulation which stipulates that the supplier must re-test the product to the same standard used at the time of manufacture (CE).  The tests that must therefore be applied are earth/ground bond, flash/hipot, and function test to check correct operation this which may include current consumption, continuity, polarity and leakage measurements. 

Please note that the majority of in-service PAT testers cannot meet these test requirements, as they have their test output limited to less than 2.5 mA for leakage delivered under the flash/hipot test.  A large proportion of in-service PAT testers do not offer this mandatory flash/hipot test. 

The SafeCheck 8 tester has been ergonomically designed for rugged bench use within service and repair centres.  It features a large high contrast LCD display and the user interface is clear and simple, with test sequences pre-configured for Class I grounded, Class II double insulated, and extension lead/power cord product types.  Additional test sequences can also be programmed into the tester either from the menu or simply from a series of barcodes that can be held within a work instruction document issued to the operator or service centre. In addition to full test result traceability, including user and location, the SafeCheck 8 has been designed to greatly simplify the testing process, and automate items such as asset tracking and the printing process of tested pass/fail labels, which can then be attached to the power cord of the power tool or appliance under test. Not only can the SafeCheck 8 read power tool appliance asset or serial numbers via a barcode scanner, but it can transfer this information onto an indelible tested pass/fail label, via a Desk Test n Tag Printer.  Appliance or asset numbers may then be tracked through Pat Guard, our MS Windows application that is available as an accessory.
