When undertaking an EICR on a distribution board loaded with RCDs at first glance how do you know if the RCD is providing fault, additional or fire protection or all of the aforementioned, and consequently which disconnection time test to apply?

Distribution to final circuits? or further distribution boards?
RCDs or RCBOs.?
If RCDs then I suspect they will be providing both fault and additional protection depending on the RCD ratings but no short circuit or overload protection.
If RCBOs then protection as above plus overload and short circuit protection.
