If the guy is an Internet based, or local workshop based trader & receives invoiceable fees or payments - then surely he MUST supply a PAT Certificate for repaired electrical equipment. He should also hold Public Insurance, and his business premises MUST comply with current HSE & IEE(IET)17th Edition Wiring Regulations, & council Trading Standards. The whole caboodle.
To qualify for issuing PAT certificates a person must be suitably qualified & have attended a recognised PAT Testing Course, and his tester itself must be accompanied by a current Calibration Certificate.
By the by, I guess this thread highlights issues that might apply to some Forum folk who hover more on the edge of the business fraternity, as opposed to the vintage radio/electronics hobbyist or retirement pastime fraternity.

Regards, David
