This kind of kills several birds with 1 stone because you end up with an accurate asset list and a means of identifying each bit of kit, plus legal compliance, and if your PAT testing every 12 months it will almost always be upto date.

we use labels purchased from Portable Appliance Safety Services or PASS for short, and the labels arent that expensive. if memory serves me correct it costs about 40 odd quid for 500 lables.

like i say my company has been using them for the last 5 years and havent had any issues with them falling off yet.
Depends on the hardware though. Once you get laptops in the environment this breaks down as you PAT test the charger not the laptop, works for desktops and lcd panels though.
