    Testing (Pat?) Cooker

    Agree with all , only items that can be plugged in are portable so not a portable appliance so no to a Pat test. And as to these so called Pat tester companies doing the rounds, perhaps they need supervising more. A School we were working in the other week had Pat testing done a few weeks...

    None Selv fan in zone 1 c2 or c1
