Self employed individuals. No staff. Are they expected to have PAT Testing? Have seen online that they are expected to have it to be compliant. Would like to find were it officially states this if the case.

If you are an Electrician, self employed, and you need to know if your portable tools are safe to use, then give up.Self employed individuals. No staff. Are they expected to have PAT Testing? Have seen online that they are expected to have it to be compliant. Would like to find were it officially states this if the case.
Depends on the circumstances, in many cases "yes".I’ve asked a self employed individual if he needs a pat tester who has said he doesn’t need PAT Testing as he has no employees.
No, that's not what @Pete999 said. Read it again.Ok. I’m trying to ask questions but I’m being told such things as I’m far from qualified, and to give up. This isn’t helpful.
It depends on his clients.I think you misunderstood. I’m not referring to my tools. My tools, and equipment are fine.

Am I writing the initial post wrong or something.
…...in many cases, it's on the instruction of their insurance provider.There is no legal requirement for PATesting. The legislation which must be followed are Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, The Provision and Use Work Regulations 1998 and The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
One way to satisfy some of this is PATesting but it is not the only way to satisfy this legislation. These Regulations apply to one person enterprises as well as any other business.
