dosxuk Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Completely wrong and out of date by three years i,m afraid. It would be far more helpful if you could provide a link to the updated laws, or to explain exactly what has changed... I can't find any information on changes to Electrical Safety regulations in 2008 (apart from in the US), and the only changes to relevant H&S regs in 2008 (from a brief search) seems to be changes in the level of penalities that can be applied in the event of an incident.

Keep going, you look like you're doing ok under your own steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofstrad Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The current regs did change, but for new build - certain things (in my case conservatories) had to be tested after installation if major works were carried out. Are you refering to part P certification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snook Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 What people have missed, though, is that some insurance companies insist that you carry out PAT testing on non-fixed electrical appliances every 12 months, otherwise you won't be covered and could end up shelling out a huge amount!

Snook Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 no its the workplace. a factory. Is it your factory? Why do you ask? Each company should have it's own policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 no its the workplace. a factory. Snook seems to have nailed it. My suggestion is that you get a qualified PAT tester in every 12 months. That is what the council do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
