All the installations I do trip frequently on their own, so the RCD's don't get a chance to get 'sticky'!

yes....
and how many customers take any notice of the test quarterly sticker....or are shown functional operation on handover...
The mentality seems to be "if it works its got to be fine." Maybe all RCD's should have a 12 week timer and alarm fitted to them which is silenced with the test button.
its the `well its always worked fine` mentality here again Tel....but these same customers who can't be arsed to do this simple thing won't forget to have the BMW/Merc/4x4 serviced regularly, just in case the brakes fail and they get splattered across the M6. but they're quite happy to put their lives in the hands of a ÂŁ20 device that may or may not work to save said lives. crazy.
if the RCD fails to operate 1st time using the manual test button then i was always told it should be condemned...but as has been pointed out....thousands of RCDs would then have to be condemned....a few goes usually loosens em up....
another one as well is an RCD should be replaced everytime it clears a fault....
suppose that puts testing them out to grass then....
