    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. Do the same rules apply to Northern Ireland as to the rest of the UK regarding the likes of PAT and EICR tests/certificates? If not, what are the differences here that I should consider? As a business owner in Northern Ireland, are there any electrical safety tests in particular that I am legally obligated to have undertaken?
