New 5th Edition PAT testing

[Jobos]

Afternoon all.

 

We've been doing our own PAT testing in-house for about four years now for the simple reason the previous guys were a couple of con artists and they even got caught on CCTV just sticking labels on kit without testing or checking cables first. Of course they had to go and we find it better knowing things are tested properly now.

 

Anyway, I've started getting emails for PAT test equipment that is 5th edition compliant as the regs are changing and requires a tester with a range different tests. I'm not too sure yet what is required but I understand server room racks now fall under the test as well as more paperwork.
