I think to be honest its better to use a brand new one. It has been my
experience at church halls that the kit there gets a lot of abuse. Cables
where the outer is pulled from the cable grip, worn sockets and loose
connections in the socket r plug, if its not a moulded on one.

My wife has arranged a speaker for her WI Group at the Church Hall.

The speaker has asked for a PAT Tested Extension Lead for her projector.

I can't see why - other than to avoid any responsibility if a faulty lead
was provided. Surely her equipment could not be damaged.

A lead is provided by the Church Hall - we, as users, have no idea if it
is
PAT Tested.

Not sure what to get my wife to say to the speaker.

I have not ruled out that the lead may be PAT tested - not easy to check
right now.

...but what responsibility is it of the speaker?


Just check the cable and then tell her it's been PAT tested. Print a label
off the internet (there's loads) and stick it on the thing if you can be
bothered.
