She'll be bringing the PAT Testing certificate for the projector with her (with the test person's competency certificate and the calibration certificate for the test machine used)?

I dont believe there is any requirement to actually label portable
equipment with a "PAT tested " label or even keep a register of devices
tested. It does help in providing an audit trail if it becomes necessary
though


It's a get out [hopefully].

If an item is regularly inspected and tested in accordance with
current practices, it is very unlikely that the HSE will prosecute if
an accident occurs through an unforseen fault condition.

No guarantees, they might still prosecute, but it would be damned
difficult proving the case.

Simple as that.
