18th Edition tester or not?

[bigash]

I’m looking to get registered with the compétant persons scheme.

I’m looking at testers and wondering if it’s worth the extra money to get a tester that tests b type RCDs.

would the scheme pénalise me for not having an 18th fully compliant tester?

wondering on what people’s views are.

I'd expect to be required to be capable of testing whatever type of RCD I'm installing, or is present on a circuit I'm working on.

My current Kewtech MFT doesn't do Type B, but I've not installed one, and haven't needed the capability. If you are going to be doing work where these are used, then I'd suggest to include it.

However, I suppose I'm going to eventually come across one e.g. when doing an EICR, and it would be better to be able to test it, instead of having to put a LIM in the box.

I’m looking to get registered with the compétant persons scheme....

Is that the scheme for the créme de la créme ?

Phones spell checker is a right pain at times.

There is no such thing as an 18th Ed tester.
