Advice please about PAT testing

I am a retired electrical engineer qualified to HNC Electrical and C&G 2391 Inspection and Testing.


I sit on the committee for a local community hall and have been looking after the electrical maintenance requirements.  I am now considering carrying out the PAT testing myself which would involve about a dozen items.  Although being responsible for getting items tested in a factory, I have never done a PAT test myself.


I keep reading that I should go on a course, is this really necessary?


I am also looking for recommendations for a tester.  I would like something simple, but I would like to see the see the amount of earth leakage as opposed to just a pass/fail indication.


Looking forward to your advice...

  • Many thanks for your valued advice Legh, broadgage and mapj1.  Having spent all my working life as an employee, I'm embarrassed to admit that I hadn't thought about insurance, I'll investigate this and a course.  I'll PM you Legh about the Robin.
