Compliance tools · what do I need?
Which accreditations does my trade need?
What is commonly legally required or asked for, for your trade and customers.
Questions people ask
What does "required" mean on this page?
That the scheme or registration is commonly a legal requirement for that activity - Gas Safe for gas work, F-Gas for air conditioning, Part P routes for domestic electrical work. It is a prompt to check, not a ruling; the page carries its own disclaimer.
What does "asked for" mean?
That customers of that kind commonly ask for it - main contractors for SSIP schemes such as CHAS, SafeContractor or SMAS, the public sector for ISO 9001. Not having it is not illegal; not having it may cost you the tender.
Does this make my business compliant?
No. It lists what to look into. Whether you hold it, whether it is current and whether it covers the work is between you, the scheme and your customer. Pascoe Business Systems makes no compliance claim.
Calculators for the same job
Need the paperwork behind this, not just the number? PBS Policies produces branded risk assessments, toolbox talks and handbooks from a starter library, with your business substituted throughout.
Read before you rely on this. These compliance tools are a starting point, not a decision. The exposure figures, the notification answer, the risk score and the accreditation list are guidance only — none of them is a risk assessment, a HAV or noise exposure assessment, legal advice or a compliance sign-off, and Pascoe Business Systems makes no compliance claim. Current HSE guidance and a competent person decide.
