[QUOTE="Leigh Winspear, post: 543858, member: 33585"] Hello yall, Business is good here in Whitby so hope everyone else is doing fine also. I have been asked to complete some PAT testing for a friend who has a few holiday homes here in North Yorks. I was sure Meger cert suite had PAT certificates but it seems it is not bundled with those, so what do you guys use please? I am using a meger mft 1741+, with a kewtech pat adapter, which I know is a little slower than a dedicated pat machine but im not investing in a PAT machine till I know I am doing plenty of PAT work - should I want to. Are there free up to date spreadsheets any where as a pdf or free apps, software we can trial? Also, after an initial visual inspection of one property, I counted 27 pieces of equipment that need testing, class 1, 2 mainly. Do we need to remove fitted kitchen items, dishwasher, sink, oven etc, to try get to the plugs/terminals? I have a few work around ideas, was just wondering what others do. Also, do we test wired smoke alarms or fused spur connected components such as bathroom fans and fires? I have experience of office pat testing, but everything was already labelled, previously checked and available from a checklist. Also, most devices were simply plugged/unplugged from dado trunking, nice and easy...... Cheers n stuff Leigh [/QUOTE]
