basically anything with a plug on it needs to be tested, ie soldering irons, charging equipment, extension leads etc.this needs to be carried out by a qaulified electrician with the correct testing gear, and at a cost, if you can find a sparky prepared to do pat testing, we struggle here in the northeast and i am in the trade, and are having trouble to get one to check our new workplace.

The venue require for all mains equipment used to be PAT tested for safety reasons.
