18th Edition amendment one. Volt drop measurement, who is spreading the rumour we need new testers?

Sparkingchip
Who is the test equipment manufacturer and/ or importer spreading the rumour that we will need new volt drop testers?


Out of interest I have tried an internet search for volt drop testers than can be used to test UK fixed installations and drew a blank with only testers suitable for use in the USA at lower voltages coming up in the search results along with results for auto electrics.

    There is another aspect to this and that is people thinking they can improve electrical test certificates by adding more boxes to tick and enter test results into.


    For EICRs I am using printed NCR handwritten report forms, at the bottom of the schedule of inspections there is a schedule of tests with boxes to tick including a box to tick for voltage drop verified, that is not on the IET model it is an item added by those who supply these particular pads of reports.


    Maybe I should just get some different forms to use that don’t have this box to tick and any potential issues regarding ticking this box will just disappear.
