Fixed electrical appliances for selective license with the council

A fixed appliance is an electrical appliance which is usually connected to the electricity supply via a fused spur unit to which the flex is permanently connected. A few examples would be: storage heaters, hand dryers, cookers, machine tools. Also, if you provide your tenants with any appliances they can plug in you'll need those testing as well. This is called a PAT test.

You need to do PAT which mean portable appliances test any thing you supply to your tenant with plug on it need to be tested examples, fridge freezer, oven, kettle ,toaster.....etc.

BS7671 defines 'fixed equipment, as "Equipment designed to be fastened to a support or otherwise secured in a fixed location". Your cooker hood would certainly qualify as that. In attempting to clarify the scope of notifiability, Approved Document P (not, in itself, law) also indicates that something may be 'fixed wiring' subject to notification if required by the 'new rules', "even if the final connection is by a standard 13A plug and socket". Given all that, it would certainly be fairly easy to argue that the wiring to your cooker hood was 'fixed wiring'.
