Apart from the fact, that the testing was conducted by a Painter and Decorator, at the time of construction, there was no requirement for RCD protection.was a case of a woman electrocuted exactly same scenario. no testing would have picked up the fault. although the report does not say, it's most likely that a RCD was not fitted to the circuit. if the metal stud had been earthed ( which is not a requirement ) it's probable that testing would have picked up a L-E short.
