In which case you would be earning money contrary to law.

I would not be earning money.

Let's make it more clear:
If I was renting a property from a landlord and someone wanted to put one of those machines on all my delicate electronic appliances (that includes modern washing machines) I would show him the door.

What exactly do you think an appliance test is going to do to your “delicate electronic appliances”?

Try to answer without lying.

I NEVER LIE, you must be thinking of someone else.

Putting 500v DC on some delicate electronic devices is liable to blow them up.

Let's make it more clear:

OK if you were renting a property and the appliances were there when you moved in then they would be the property of the landlord.

You could not ( legally ) prevent the landlord having his equipment tested,

I NEVER LIE,

If that was true then you really should change your source(s) of information as they are either mi-informed or they are telling you lies.

I interpreted your post as if you were the landlord getting your electrical inspections in order.

As a tenant there is no legal requirement for PAT and it's quite unlikely your landlord would arrange for it to be tested. The confusion/difficulty may arise when the landlord gets their devices tested and the tester may have to be given clear lists.

That said, I don't think I have ever known anything to be damaged by correctly performed PAT and I have a wide selection of what I consider to be delicate electronic kit which has been PATd for many years.

Exactly.

Don't know who GeorgeCooke is. BAS was on these forums for many years but left.

Just to clarify that your landlord has an obligation to ensure the testing is carried out.

 

[DetlefSchmitz]

...definitely mythomania...

 

[bernardgreen]

Exactly.

Don't know who GeorgeCooke is.

You don't know your alter ego. I am surprised.

For new readers GeorgeCooke posts on at least one other forum. There have been several times when George and Winston have posted identical posts.

Either they are one and the same or perhaps we should start warning them when the other is plagiarizing their work.

That’s another lie, but I’ll start a separate thread about that.

Putting 500v DC on some delicate electronic devices is liable to blow them up.

You clearly have no idea what portable appliance testing involves but that won’t surprise anyone here. I’ve tested tens of thousands of appliances and many pieces of specialised electronic equipment worth thousands of pounds each and not one of them has “blown up” or been affected in any way by testing.

I believe this to be the case. Tricky if you need to run water pipes, at least compared to other makes.

Do they have fixed panels on the back, or are they open backed ? One thing that "really irritates" me is this obsession by kitchen manufacturers and fitters that services shoudl be hidden away so that maintenance is impossible, and that up to 1/4 of the space should be wasted. I'd prefer all units to be backless so that the services are easily accessed for maintenance and alterations - something you might have gathered if you'd heard the things I was calling whoever fitted our kitchen (before we bought the house) when I had to change the tap.
I say up to 1/4 because I've looked at some draw units, and worked out that the drawers could be around 1/3 deeper and still leave a gap behind for pipes - if they weren't such rubbish designs. It's not going to happen for some time, but when we do get around to redoing the kitchen, there will be some "interesting" conversations about this - and I suspect a number of potential suppliers being shown the door.

Let's make it more clear:

That's not "more clear", it's adding information that was not even hinted at in your previous post. But as said, the landlord is under no obligation to test your equipment - some may offer to have it done at the same time, but they don't have to. But if it's landlord's equipment, then they (to all intents) have to have it inspected & tested in order to demonstrate compliance with the law.
