Does this fall into the "legal advice" off topic category, or is it permitted as more of a code compliance question?

@BMitch: It seems to me it straddles both areas. The question might have been better if it was phrased in terms of code compliance. Portable Appliance Testing is mostly something that happens in business premises, like offices, so it wouldn't apply to homeowners. It might be something that would have to dealt with by landlords who supply table-lamps etc as part of fully-furnished accommodation.

> Private houses are not covered by this legislation, although occupiers' liability requires householders not to deliberately expose occupants or visitors to unreasonable risks.

@BMitch Off-topic because it's a commercial requirement, not residential

And closed. Thanks for helping with the answer @RedGrittyBrick, I think that really helped.

I had to read his stuff on Workplace to see why he might be blocked from asking. Seems like he's had some professional conflicts and from this question, it looks like he still has more. :/
