Sony Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I am bought some wires to charge smartphones and will sell them in a shop but they are unsure if they need to be tested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 See http://www.pat-testing.info/ It says thus: This in effect requires the implementation of a systematic and regular program of maintenance, inspection and testing. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 places such an obligation in the following circumstances: 1. Where appliances are used by employees. 2. Where the public may use appliances in establishments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc. 3. Where appliances are supplied or hired. 4. Where appliances are repaired or serviced.

apelike Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 This is probably a better site to get reliable information from as its not really an obligation or legal requirement. http://www.hse.gov.uk/electricity/faq-portable-appliance-testing.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 New items shouldn't need testing. Just make sure you choose a quality item with the relevant CE marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMR67 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 PAT testing is not required by law, however it is good practice to have all electrical items tested as it could bring down insurance policies. Working in a School, we do have everything PAT tested, we have around 1000 items done per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
