Using a PAT testing machine is a relatively minor part of the actual

With most classII equipment, there is not much the machine can do.
The test is mainly physical inspection. When I was doing PAT testing
I don't think I ever failed any class 2 gear other than on inspection.

That was certainly how I arrived at most of my "fail" conclusions for kit
back when I did the job.
