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……..?

    People don’t understand PAT, it is asset management.


    Locally a teacher at a high school was sacked and ended up in court charged with theft after the PAT was carried out at the school where he worked, apparently most of his family had electrical appliances from the school.


    No one would have ever known without the PAT tester identifying the missing equipment, if there’s anyone digging their heels in and trying to prevent PAT being carried out within a school or any other large premises with lots of valuable and portable electrical appliances it has to raise a very large red flag.
