There is no mains connection. Do these items need PAT testing?


PAT only applies to mains kit, no mains nothing to test. ...


I don't think that is true. How about an emergency lighting system fed
by a bank of batteries at 230v?


Doesn't sound very portable to me.


In-service Inspection and testing has nothing to do with just 'portable'
equipment.
Electric showers, hand dryers, HV equipment are all covered.


What do you think the P in PAT is for? Prat? Picnic? Purple?
