OK then if that's the case apologies DPGI think he means that the test just proves the item is OK at the point it is tested.

True very True.I might just be putting words into his mouth of course.
A decent tester will create an equipment register for you. I know the last Seaward one I used came with software to do so. You could also download the last set of tests for an area onto it. This meant it remembered what was required (even prompting if it was just a visual inspection) saving time and boredom. In theory all you should have to do is ask the responsible person if they’d bought anything new or got rid of anything.Having spent time as an Asset Manager at my place of work, as well as other things, the maim thing that would be, in my opinion a must, will be an Equipment Register (ER), whereby all your electrical equipment covered by the CoP of ISITEE.
It is my belief that if you're serious about maintain your equipment, and don't have a ER, then if you get someone to do the testing on your behalf, the first port of call would be to get them to produce one, a ball busting job I agree, but a necessary one, will be costly to produce, but necessary in order to test and keep records, just testing what you can lay your hands on is a pointless exercise, but remember it is down to the Duty Holder of your equipment that is responsible for record keeping, and deciding the frequency of testing, people may rubbish this statement, my advice to them is read the CoP.
That Seaward one I mentioned did that as well.If I were to seriously consider taking up PAT testing, I would want stickers that could be printed.
Even then, I could see it being soul destroying.
Destroyed souls?That Seaward one I mentioned did that as well.
Oh most definitely.Destroyed souls?
