[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 518700, member: 6969"] When I was an apprentice, where I worked everything was PAT tested regularly. This was long before PAT testing was even a term in use or a regular thing everywhere. Trouble was we had our own rules. So some bit of kit that the manufacturer had declared as class 2, if it had one tiny bit of metal exposed, our test procedure meant it had to be earthed, so cue a LOT of class 2 stuff modified to fit a 3 core flex to it just to earth some bit of metal that was in no way connected to any of the electrical bits inside.
