Guidance for PAT testing in Belfast
I am a business owner from Belfast and I would like to have some PAT testing and any other appropriate electrical safety inspections performed in my factory.

As a business owner in Northern Ireland, are there any electrical safety tests in particular that I am legally obligated to have undertaken?
What size armoured cable to shed

What size armoured cable will I need and all the other components to get this done. I am having a kitchen extension so that would be the perfect time as the cable can be fitted whilst accessibility will be easy.
