Your safe isolation is the main thing they will be looking at so make sure its done by the book.Test your voltage tester before and after.AND DON'T FORGET TO ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU ISOLATE!!!!
As for your insulation test you could join live and neutral together and test to earth.
Hope this helps.
