Sorry, but a bit confusing agreed!!! you do need to get them done but we are saying you can do them yourself if you are electrically competent. Otherwise you do need to get them done annualy if they are moveable equipment ie kettles etc equipment wired through a spur does not need testing and I think equipment that stays in a fixed position ie computers should be 4 yearly full inspect and yearly visual inspection only.
As machines are moved regularly I would say a yearly test would be required and you would need to keep some form of record. How many machines do you have in total and how many on each site? what type of machines are they? I will try and find out exact trequirements if you let me know.
