Do we have to carry out a “PAT” test on Xmas Decorations? Yes / No.
Please only reply in one word. If you can’t, then I will appreciate if you don’t reply at all. Thanks in advance.

Kirsty,
I am surprised at the question given your active participation on other discussions (including PAT). You should know that you are never going to get a simple yes or no answer as that would be virtually impossible!
Anyway the answer to the question. No - Christmas (not Xmas)'Decorations' do not need PA Testing.
However...... Christmas tree lights and other electrical appliances MAY need testing - or may just need a physical and visual check.
Was this a vexatious question by any chance?
Yuletide Felicitations to you and yours.

Funny....I think you know the answer after last weeks shinanigans re:PAT testing, so without pre-empting the rudeness debate - not from you I might add...I'm staying well out of this one..as I think you know what camp i'm in.
All the best for the new year.

I am assured by 'those who know' that Xmas is fine, though I'm not keen on it personally.

Refer to a dictionary as well as what?
I know Xmas is in the Dictionary but it is one of my pet hates.
William gave a sound response to your query but i would be interested in the rationale behind your query.

If we could stick to the question please folks it would be appreciated.
Otherwise the thread may be locked under AUG 1.

Kirsty,
My opinion:
Most lights are now LEDs and fed via a class 2 transformer, so those would not require PAT.
If using older mains powered lights(incandescent bulbs in series) then there is no earth connection but a visual inspection to check for damaged insulation and lamps should be made. Again no PAT is really necessary.

Kirsy asks - Decimomal – Why do you criticise the questions all the time. I have noticed in each thread that you always criticise the thread creator the way they ask their question. Any particular reason for this?
I did not realsie that I criticised the thread creator ALL THE TIME when I have responded. Perhaps you can quote examples?
I have been guilty myself in the past of asking vague questions so am probably now over critical of others. I guess that it easier to respond to a clear, unanbigious query rather than trying to work out what it is that the questioner is asking.
