If its leased, then its down to the leasing company to PAT it.

Surely it depends on the terms of the contract?

But you will be having all the rest of your own stuff pat tested regularly won't you?

So if in doubt, and if due a re test, just get the leased IT stuff tested then. It will cost peanuts to include a few extra pc's along with everything else being tested.

i am doing the pat myself but will have a look at contracts as they are arranged at head office

It'll be up to the lease company to provide you with serviceable equipment and for your company to then maintain it mate

Thanks for that nozspark all so i was looking at microwave testers as they have just put one in the staff kitchen martindale do one for

Better to get from here, web price may be more, but you'll get a better deal, there are also others much cheaper that function more than adequately.

Speak to MM.

Martindale TEK500 Microwave Leakage Detector. Buy online or call

This does figure in the latest IET CoP as a required test also in case anyone did not know!

Oh, the leased PC equipment will be up to the leasing co.

Please also remember the intervals in the IET & HSE guidance.

Desktop PC's can be done every 5 years IIRC.

Check the guidance for all the kit you are testing as there can be considerable savings to be made.
