The guy who has been doing our PAT at work has even stickered the nice which I thought was a bit weird.

Do you mean mice?

He might have meant The Nice, and to be fair Keith Emerson was pretty dangerous onstage. 

I once manhandled his organ...

If so, he either doesn’t know what he’s doing, or does but is deliberately falsifying the number of items in order to increase his fee.

Only mains-powered equipment and cables (if separate) need to, or in fact can, be tested.

Yes mice lol.
I suspect that he was paid per item.

If so I would raise that with your company. If it’s intentional it’s fraud - and it’s difficult to believe it could be honest ignorance, since there’s no way of connecting a mouse to a PAT testing meter, or even anything you could check manually with a multimeter.

Given the number of non-mains-powered electrical items in a typical office, the difference could be quite substantial.

I will have a word with the safety guy and the site director.
