To be taken accepted as a PAT inspector you will need, as a minimum, the following:
To be able to comply with the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) code of practice
C&G2377 course will provide requirements/knowledge required to do so
Do you employ staff? if so you will need Employers Liability insurance.
Whilst Public Liability insurance, is not a legal necessity, without it you will not get any work. Check with customers what level of indemnity is required and increase by 50%
Regularly calibrate your PAT testing equipment (this is very important, as claims can be repudiated and liability attached to yourself, if guidelines not followed.
A full register/record of equipment tested with results, dates, serial nos, PAT tester used etc for you and client
