That specifically covers electrical items bought from Poundland.TAT testing?
I didn't think I even used the word 'portable' in the post you quoted.It's not just Portable, fixed there is a classification for transportable as well, I would imagine testing fixed and Transportable should be priced accordingly and agreed with the client or the Duty holder in some larger concerns
Never said you did just trying to explain my thoughts.I didn't think I even used the word 'portable' in the post you quoted.
I think that as long as the organisation which introduced the law requiring electrical equipment to be maintened and safe to use, continues to use the term PAT, then probably everyone else will as well.Why are we all touting stupid things, ISITEE is what it is PATesting is no more, the sooner the factories , super markets, large businesses etc realise this, then we can move on, In Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, can't be simpler can it? In Service and Electrical Equipment. Power consuming Apparatus, things that consume Electricity, be it single or three phase, it's not fixed wiring, the wiring is there to supply equipment, so lets not call it PAT Testing any more, give it the correct title, perhaps then we wont get people asking questions about PAT testing. If companies, sole traders, bothered to get up to date information, and then decide to read the Latest CoP on ISITEE then we can move on, these larger organisations nee to appoint a Duty holder to organise their equipment, catergorise it, to stop chancers conning them,far to many people, claiming that they have PAT testing qualifications, asking dopey questions, and claiming to be Qualified Electricians.
The larger organisations need to appoint someone as an asset manager, send Him / Her on a course, not to pass a meaninglees exam, but to understand what needs to be done to iron this problem out once and for all, that is until the IET change things again.
My two questions to you would be:Never said you did just trying to explain my thoughts.
The site isn’t what it should be.My two questions to you would be:
Why quote my post?
And secondly:
Why quote it twice?
People and Electricians should get with the program Ant, when I workd efor the PSA, we had a Planned Maintenance program for Power consuming Apparatus testing, so in reality it's not a new thing, this was back in the 1970s. All these needless qualifications/courses have caused nothing but confusion, the Schemes are to blame, in my opinion. They see a niche for a money making ploy, and jump on it, they use the context of a Dommestic issue, when really every factory, commercial business and house holder should get their power consuming stuff tested, perhaps if they had done this, Genfell MAY not have happened, that is an observation on my part only.I think some people can bang on repeatedly what it should be called but nearly all people and electricians will always know it as PAT testing and when asked /or asking for PAT testing are referring to portable appliances/appliances with a plug on it they know it and so do most/ all electricians. As long as there is a system in place for testing the electrical fixed and unfixed installation is in place and defects are rectified or the item is taken out of service is the intention.

What needless qualifications/courses are they Pete and how are the schemes to blame all I am aware of is one C&G course and exam. I could agree with you but I can't see what fact you are basing it on.People and Electricians should get with the program Ant, when I workd efor the PSA, we had a Planned Maintenance program for Power consuming Apparatus testing, so in reality it's not a new thing, this was back in the 1970s.
