Not exactly. The law says electrical equipment at work and in rentals must be safe, and PAT testing is the usual way to show that. Insurers and letting agents often require it, especially for holiday lets.

Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.
