relabel it as an air polluter? New goods don't need PAT testing AIUI.
but if PAT testing is done in bulk every so often, better to test now
so it won't exceed its test interval later.
By why PAT anyway? You don't need to do it at all. You should train the
users to give it a visual check before use if there is any chance of
damage being dangerous leaving it every year or two is going to be
against H&S laws. I get the idea that PAT is just an excuse for
inadequate training.
You obviously don't understand PAT testing
The visual part is actually the most important part. But to check that the
metalwork of an appliance is actually earthed you need a megger or a device
disguised as one.
But in the case of the air freshener, there was no metal, apart
from that which was energised.
