Does anyone know the actual rules about this?? I keep getting told that it must be carried out by a "qualified electrician". As I read the site
http://www.pat-testing.info/ it seems that it needs only a "competent" person, ie. one who understands what the potential problems are and what is acceptable for meter readings. I have just started out helping in a charity shop, and they are paying some "electrician" £1.50 for ever plug he looks at and labels "OK". He even charged for labelling a 12V car polisher which convinced me there is a scam going on.
Also I can't see where the regulations say you must use a special "PAT Tester" instrument.
All this arises as I have C&G 2391 which qualifies me as an inspector and tester of electrical installations (in the past I have done whole railway station tests!!) but everyone thinks I must have some stupid PAT Test bit of paper! - I don't think it exists.
