So what you are saying is that you are a PAT tester and your company will not buy an RCD tester even although you are required to do this test mmmmmmmmmmmm sounds about right

Yea or maybe the run of the mill PAT company who disregard any rules plus the old the customer did not want the RCD tested speech.
Thank God I only do occasional PAT or as it should be know ISI&TEE

I wish it was that simple, I would like a 6month or yearly test. but all company says is 'if it trips on the test button, that's good enough'...

I don't have access to an rcd tester.

Remind them of the companies statutory safety obligations!!!

little story about this company.
I've been PAT testing for 20 years, or so it seams. passed c&g and management test.

had to attend a company run course last year. c&g tester. passed, took all of 10 mins on test.
anyway, 60% failed.
so company bought in another outside company, their way of exam test was to keep taking the test until the individuals passed.no c&g, just a competence certificate.
some still failed.

now what do you call this company?
nothing printable..
