thanks in advance.

All, I’m hoping to pick up a PAT testing job for a salon. Quite happy with the main part of it for the owner, but this salon rents a room to another beautician who has their own appliances. The person in the rented room is not an employee of the owner.
Q ~ Should the rented room fall under the...
Hi mall
I have an extension socket that I have soldered 3 plugs to.
I can test insulation and leakage with this and an Megger MFT1711.
I can null the lead.
Will only use for class 1
Can any see a problem?
If I have a Class II equipment and someone cut the plug and replaced for a new plug with earth pin. Is it will be pass or fail.
Or you have to replace for lead set ?

Evening all.
Just been asked to do some PAT for a music festival in June. So, my question is (as only ever done shop things etc), what would band equipment fall under with regards to code of practice for in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment table 7.1? I’m inclined to be...

Hi all - I've been given the task of PAT testing a new office that our company is setting up, and they have a number of Intel NUC's that use a 19v psu. Looking at what I'm going to be in for - I'm unsure as to how these items should be tested. They're a mix of a desktop and a laptop I guess -...

In respect to the risk assement, and testing frequency of IEC leads. If the lead is permanently allocated to an IT appliance then should the frequency of testing be set as an IT appliance, or as it is a separate item, should it have its own frequency?
