PAT testing

It’s almost a week that I’m due at university (Lancaster university) but I need to PAT test items. I have no knowledge of how to get items PAT tested in time or even what I could expect to pay. Does the university offer such services?

Just like to add I initially believed it would be simple like going into a shop or something but know I’m not sure whether I have to arrange for testing or even if I can get it done in time so I’m beginning to feel pretty anxious. I would appreciate any replies

Hey anon,

I was super nervous about this too before coming to uni! But definitely don't worry, they give you a good couple weeks to sort out PAT testing and the university in previous years have offered it for free!

Your college should advertise a day or two where they'll have people around in the bar or common room available to do it for you. You just bring your equipment over and they'll sort it all!

Good luck with moving in

Thanks for the reply! It said on the email I received about arrivals that electrical equipment under 12 months old should be PAT tested. I’m probably just going to consider buying new non-rechargeable equipment like phone chargers.

Sorry I wasn’t paying attention when I was typing. When I said ‘under 12 months old’ I mean over 12 months old.
