Rank: Guest		Posted By John Little I was wondering if anyone could lead me in the right direction of procuring a PAT tester and obviously some training in it's use. I am located in the Exeter area.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Adie We got ours from here: http://www.pat-training....luke_6200_pat_tester.htm It came with a very informative CD, and when I checked with the HSE InfoLine, I was informed that a "competant" person could carry out the tests. This is a link to the HSE PDF on PAT: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg236.pdf
