Whether you are a landlord or an employer, PAT Testing regulations apply to you.
Anyone who rents accommodation as a business activity is required, in accordance with The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, to ensure that portable equipment supplied as part of the tenancy is safe. This includes, but is not limited to, cookers, washing machines, microwaves, kettles and lamps. Regardless of whether second-hand or new, regulations will apply to such items, and regular PAT testing will ensure you are compliant.
Meanwhile, in the workplace, there are a number of regulations applying to the maintenance of electrical equipment, including the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. These regulations apply to all electrical equipment used in, or associated with, places of work, and require them to be tested and maintained regularly for optimum safely. Certified PAT Testing is the most common, most effective and most efficient way of fulfilling these requirements.
