All of them read ISITEE guidehi, silly question but in rented domestic property which appliances need PAT testing ? tia
The ISITEE tells you all, power consuming apparatus should be tested, it is not part of the fixed wiringThanks for your replys ! How about a boiler on a plug top lol ?
usually the ones supplied by the landlordhi, silly question but in rented domestic property which appliances need PAT testing ? tia

All electrical appliances that are not part of the fixed wiring ought to be tested.
In practice the landlord will only pay for testing of items he owns.
The in service testing is a means of demonstrating that the landlord is complying with his requirement to not put tenants art risk.
Electric showers, storage heaters, panel heaters, cooker hood extracts, intermittent extraction fans, washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, all ought to be tested but very rarely are.
Yes the fridge and dishwasher will nead testing and agree with Richard that any other fixed electrical equipment that is not covered by the eicr should be tested . I would say it does not include a gas boiler as i would say that is inspected during the gas check , Athough its known as PAT it is really insevice equipment inpection as PAT is for portable appliance testing , sorry being a bit pedantic

Richard surely the electric shower is part of the fixed wiring the same as an extractor fan is,
Flanders a boiler should definatly be tested under isitee.!
Think the whole PAT testing issue is hilarious. Items getting tested left, right and centre for no reason other than to generate money for someone.
Personally I think most PATester get the wrong idea, the person incharge, Office Manager, Duty Holder, Boss, Land Lord,someone who thinks they are the boss should/must have a list of equipment that requires testing, it's up to them to provide you, the tester, with an up to date register of equipment under their control.
Why do you think they are appointed "duty holders" perhaps if you read the ISITEE instructions you will change your mind, the duty holder is given that particular responsibility to ensure items are tested at intervals, oh and by the way there is no requirement to enter date of next test on the label, that is down to the duty holder as well. The duty holder should have a register of equipment under His/Her control. HSE requires the duty holder to know what equipment they have, RTFMI disagree, you are being hired as the competent/qualified person and should be telling them what needs testing! How does a office manager know what falls under the isitee requirements?!
Also you do not need any qualification to PATest just be competent to do the testing.I disagree, you are being hired as the competent/qualified person and should be telling them what needs testing! How does a office manager know what falls under the isitee requirements?!
