PAT testing, fixed, portable. The definitive answer!

[Top Cat]

I think to stop all confusion between fixed and non fixed appliance testing we need to re name the procedure. My suggestion is:-

Frequent Allencompassing Rigorous Testing

F.A.R.T

We could all then get a C& G in FARTING!

Totally agree I have just bought one and all I want it to do is pay for itself then I am quite happy to do 2 or 3 on a wet rainy day in the middle of winter to get me out the house

what? you bought a vibrator???

How anyone can do PAT testing day in, day out is beyond me.

I go on automatic pilot, then suddenly think, have i gone from cooking appliance to computer without resetting the tester!

Never done it yet, but it could happen.

By then though i would probably be brain dead anyway so it would'nt mater!

or felv. functional, not separated.

When I worked for HL foods, 4 of us had to PAT every piece of equipment and extension lead on site (over 400 items spread across about 4 acres) each year as well as do our normal maintenance electrician job. Ended up with a monthly list, as trying to do the lot in one go every year melted our brains...

Question is, how long does it take for one of those to pay for itself?
