    Is the Earth Bond High Current Test Obsolete?

    Does the increasing numbers of battery powered pat testers, which profess to perform all the tests required by the IEE Code of Practice, but do not carry out the earth bond high currant testing at 20A mean that this test is now obsolete? Or is there still a requirement to perform this test?
