Portable appliance testing

[AnthonyB]

In response to Mike I agree with the first paragraph but I don't think the second one about the court is realistic. The assessor's role is more likely to be that "whilst carrying out the FRA I observed the following electrical hazards which were brought to the attention of the RP immediately with a recommendation that all appliances should be checked by a competent person"

That's how it's phrased in the Action Plan, nowhere do we say everything is passed as safe. It's lazy not to have a look whilst assessing and negligent not to raise it if you see it.

You don't need to be an electrician to carry out visual or combined inspection and test PAT testing either.
