hi mate have you not got any literature on the test procedures (i think thats what you mean?), if you want a rough idea on the sequence of test:

continuity of protective conductors, including main and​

supplementary bondin

continuity of ring final circuit conductors

insulation resistance

polarity

earth electrode resistance

earth fault loop impedance

prospective fault current

functional testing

Rcd tests

prob got these in wrong order but these are what you need to be doing, hope this helps
