Posted By Bev Hi Nigel, After our PAT test man comes round, he sends us a print out of all the items he has tested. It's not many pages for us and is just in the form of a long list of the item number, brief description, date tested and ok. I keep this in a file where I keep other test certs, so it is not onerous to hang on to the stuff. I think it's important to keep a separate record, in case of an incident or a fire, so you can prove that it had been tested. However, I would not have thought it necessary to keep a detailed record like a certificate for each item, just a list and that the item is safe should be adequate. Hope this helps. Best wishes

In addition, the test results can form part of your asset register. Hope this helps. Regards David B
