PAT by X-Ray connection?

AncientMariner
My wife owns a house which is let out through a Letting Agent. As such they manage the property and my wife gets the bills.

A few days ago the Letting Agent's contractor carried out a PAT. This for the Fridge, Freezer, Dishwasher and an Electric Fire - these all part of the property.

However her tenant manages a company where they have PATs carried out every day and thus familiar with the process. She spotted that all they did was to ask if any problems and write out the four labels!

He did have a tester with him, from the emailed test sheet a Seaward Apollo 400. But none of the appliances were plugged into the tester - the mains plugs having their respective sockets in cupboards.

So must have been an X-Ray connection……..?

    The purpose of the PAT isn't to find faults.  It's to give you a bit of paper to say that everything has been tested and passed.


    Suppose someone offered car MOTs where you gave them £10 and the registration number of your vehicle, and they posted you back a "passed" certificate.  How many people would go for that, rather than actually taking their car to an MOT station to be tested?
