    EICR R1+R2 testing requirements

    What’s your thoughts on this, house testing I would say no argument against this, mains isolation & tests can be carried out. Commercial properties where isolation is not possible i certainly would not do a R1+R2 test, also knowing the EOL near impossible. Electrician’s are now deducting the Ze...

    ZS testing - dangerous?

    I have read somewhere that performing a zs test where there is exposed metalwork and people around can be dangerous? Is it something that has to be avoided? Or does it say anywhere that it must not be done? Should i be worried about carrying out Zs tests now? :/
