pat testing questions

Today I failed my pat testing exam. I was presented with questions not covered by the tutor during the course and cannot find clarification in the iet book I was hoping to get some answers.


A few of the questions where about rcd sockets outdoors, the maximum trip time and trip values as well as minimum and maximum amperage.


Another 2 was about test probe leads, the question answers had options like bs codes and gs38 and also voltage ratings like 20-200v ac and 20-200v dc. But none of this was covered in the course.


I failed by a single mark. Had these been covered or easy to find in the book I would have passed. Can anyone offer clarification in relation to this information?

    I'd say worst case would be a pressure washer rather than hose pipe, the thing is certain outdoor appliances have to be safe from penetrative from a wire, so i figured a socket would need either that level or higher of solid object penetration.
