I know it in here somewhere but I can't find it. My question is do you need a qualification to be able to do pat testing?
Thanks Euan
 
No, you need to be competent at doing PAT testing.
Some companies will only allow those with a specific qualification (usually 2377) to do their PAT testing but this is not a general requirement, although it may help to have the qualification to ensure you are capable.
 
You just need to quick with a sticker gun.
 
i've got a seaward 1500XI. does what little bit of PAT that i do. if you're doing a lot, maybe one of them fancy all singing jobbies would be worthwhile.
 
I wouldn't bother. If you are a conscientious professional that likes to do a thorough job then PAT is not for you. There is only money in it if you cut the majority of the corners off.... the large firms of sticker jockeys have seen to that.

Personally it would annoy me having to use adaptors all the time. Can't you buy a proper UK one?
