Pat Testing In A Rented Property - Which Appliances Need Testing?

[growler]

hi, silly question but in rented domestic property which appliances need PAT testing ? tia

 

[growler]

basically i want to know if a fridge freezer or dishwasher need a PAT test ?

 

[colshaws]

I rent out a property and when the letting agents can be bothered to ask for a pat test cert it needs to be on all appliances that are fitted as part of the rental agreement, which in my property is the fridge, washing machine , oven and hob

 

[Richard Burns]

All electrical appliances that are not part of the fixed wiring ought to be tested.
In practice the landlord will only pay for testing of items he owns.
The in service testing is a means of demonstrating that the landlord is complying with his requirement to not put tenants art risk.
Electric showers, storage heaters, panel heaters, cooker hood extracts, intermittent extraction fans, washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, all ought to be tested but very rarely are.

As a let property forms a business arrangement then all electrical appliances that belong as part of the tenancy agreement should be tested. I agree with Richards in that it will include all fixed appliances

Yes the fridge and dishwasher will nead testing and agree with Richard that any other fixed electrical equipment that is not covered by the eicr should be tested . I would say it does not include a gas boiler as i would say that is inspected during the gas check , Athough its known as PAT it is really insevice equipment inpection as PAT is for portable appliance testing , sorry being a bit pedantic

The ISITEE tells you all, power consuming apparatus should be tested, it is not part of the fixed wiring

Ah, thanks for the reminder.
My mate has just started letting a house out on AirBnB, good excuse to get some free beer out of him.

Richard surely the electric shower is part of the fixed wiring the same as an extractor fan is,

All of them, but some are most easily tested during a fixed wiring inspection and test. Just needs to be agreed with the owner.
