The NIC prefer one live test carried out a source (Ze), the remainder can be by calculation from dead test results. They like it this way as it reduces the risk to the tester etc etc etc.

Where do you get this information? I am happy to talk to the local NICEIC engineer about your views when I go to a meeting next time. Can you E-Mail me your membership number and company registration number so I can ask them to look into your claims?

Maybe that's for NICEIC testers who aren't confident about testing live.....or don't know what WTF they're doing.

I got it direct from my area engineer around three years ago.
Doesn't mean to say I listened to him does it?

Well to be fair I do like and respect you Strima and always have, but I would suggest your engineer is a numpty and lets be fair you know it as well lol, so based on that please don't back the muppet up, whats his name so I can humiliate him at the next NICEIC meeting I attend?

Personally I would back the Certificate and ask for the required testing to be conducted.

I read, heard or somehow acquired information from god knows where, Rcds will not require testing on the job in times to come
The tests by the manufacturer prior to sale are to suffice

So what is the point of the schedule of inspections ?
Got my annual assessment soon.
Think I will present my assessor with a schedule showing only dead tests and see what he says....

Was reading about the Chinese made MCBs made for (MK employee telling his dad - reliable source!) that then get tested by the UK base and get chucked because they fail. I think we do need to keep testing RCDs because even fresh out of the box they can be faulty and lets face it - it’s us who’ll have to return and we’ll never see that money or time again and it just makes us look bad.I read, heard or somehow acquired information from god knows where, Rcds will not require testing on the job in times to come
