Do I need to get my equipment PAT tested?

Hi I'm starting mobile and wondered if I need to get my equipment PAT tested or not? Thanks x

Yes as far as I know- I think your insurance wouldn't cover you if you don't have it tested but might be worth calling to check.

It's not a legal requirement to have pat testing but it is advisable x

yes it can void your insurance if you dont! x

Not required. The man that did mine told me its not a legal requirement but your insurance company might want proof that you've checked. Just a list of each item..date it was checked. You need to check there are no bare wires, not loose, no cracks in the actual plug or any damage xx
