Ensuring Safety. Enhancing Reliability. Protecting Lives.
Welcome to Metslab, UAE
At Metslab, we are committed to delivering world-class Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) services tailored to the unique safety requirements of your business. As one of the UAE’s leading testing laboratories, our mission is to ensure electrical equipment in your workplace is safe, reliable, and compliant with local and international standards.
Why PAT Testing Is Essential
Electrical appliances are the lifeblood of modern business—from office computers to high-powered kitchen equipment in restaurants and hotels. Over time, wear and tear, environmental factors, and frequent relocations can compromise the integrity of these devices. PAT Testing helps by:
- Enhancing Safety: Minimizes the risk of electrical shocks, fires, and disruptive equipment failures.
- Ensuring Compliance: Aligns with the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, and international standards.
- Reducing Downtime: Ensures that faulty appliances are identified before they cause operational disruptions.
- Protecting Your Reputation: Provides assurance to employees, customers, and stakeholders through demonstrated commitment to safety.
