Stand Alone RCD

[Mfctitch]

Hello Everyone.

I had to change a socket in a landlord property (enough said)

Did a check on the RCD and found that it was not working.

Even though the flat only has an old 4way wylex the land lord will not go for a new board.

so my question is what tests would I need to carry out for this job if I just replace the RCD.

I.E would this come under minor works?

Thanks

If RCD is just a replacement then i'd do a MWC to cover myself

^^^^^^^^ Definitely the way to deal with this

There are a standard set of tests that you'll need to do (see GN3) to satisfy BS7671 and Building regs.

A MWC will most likely need to be issued after the work has been completed.

it's a like for like repair, so not notifiable, but basic testing ( Zs, IR, RCD ) and a MWC. IMO.
