Although it is not a legal requirement to have PAT testing carried out on your electrical equipment, it is highly recommended by several acts and regulations (eg The Health & Safety Act, Electricity at Work Regulations, Workplace Regulations and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) that PAT testing take place regularly (every 1-2 years).
