There is no *requirement* for PATing full stop under H&SAWA (AFAIK)

It's in the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989:

4(2) As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be
maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, such
danger.

Nothing in that paragraph says you have to do PATs to achieve compliance. A
PAT is one way to demonstrate that you have taken steps to comply with the
regulation, but it is not the only way and it is not even applicable to some
equipment covered by that regulation.
