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 letting agent claims that the PAT is correct since the print out from the Seaward Apollo 400 shows Pass as the Result for each of the 4 items checked.

    Since none of the items (Fridge, Freezer, Dishwasher and Electric Fire were unplugged, how could the Record of PAT tests and Certificate, show Pass?  To put it another way, what would you get if you simply push the Test Button on a Seaward Apollo 400 with nothing plugged in?  (I am thinking that there may be a "test lead in the PAT tester's van, which is used afterwards"....)
