There's no mandated permitted or denied uses of 2A plugs/sockets other that those in common with all other wall sockets (sleeved pins, shutters, and suitable for the load/location)
Just to check - I assume you have the C&G 2377 and a copy of the IET's Code of Practice for PAT Testing (In-Service Inspection And Testing Of Electrical Equipment)?
a) It's not called PAT any more. Partly to avoid this confusion. Wall heaters would normally be included in such a testing regime.
b) I have a degree in physics. The C&G 2377 is a 1 day course and exam. I strongly recommend you take it if you haven't as it will cover everything needed to correctly inspect, test and keep records.
There was nothing in my degree covering the specifics of this type of work and I doubt there was in yours. In both cases our degrees give us the means to understand the basics of the tests and inspections, but not the expected procedures and record keeping.
Without being disrespectful, even if you are a CEng, I wonder if the building insurers would accept testing records done by someone without the specific standard qualification.
You can do the course at the IET itself (I did) - and IME that was a good course as it was led by both an electrician and an engineer, the latter having some isnight into the "why does it say this" whihc was extremely useful and interesting.
Its just something to moan about the EU for. He probably has one of the new ones with the HEPA filter and they don't suck well at all. He would still moan about it if they mandated a minimum performance for a VAC. Oh they do that don't they. The last Henry I used had a two level power switch too and he has probably forgotten it. Of course Henrys are the cheap products and there are better ones in the range that cost more and are somewhat better.
I will stick with my Bosch GAS25 which is really good and only uses 1200W.
But Doom is such a good European, he rushed out to buy the very worst cleaner on the market after the new regs came in. So he had something else to whinge about.
