RCD test 6 months

lyledunn

I was asked why the change to six months. To be honest, I couldn’t answer with confidence. I did hear that folk might be more inclined to test the RCD at  the twice yearly clock change. Can anyone point me to an authoritative explanation?

    This was a question on a recent City and Guilds level 4 2396 written paper. The chief examiner’s report indicated that it was poorly answered and encouraged centres to research the reason for the elongated time period. 

    So if you are aware of the reason Graham, I would appreciate if you would expand.

    Interesting ... the "when the clocks change" has been cited in other places, but that's now fast becoming a rabbit-hole in itself with the advent of smart-phones and watches, etc. ... I can't remember the last time I changed a clock or watch manually, so I forgot to push my Test Buttons a couple of weeks back Joy

    I think that's the best we can do in terms of "research" ... the reality is, it's never as simple as "just change the words".

    I recall that JP asked the question at clock-change time a year (or 18/12) ago. Even if the clocks change themselves (even in the car!) there is at least something to remember.

    I still have to change the CH controls, but I think that is all because I haven't used my video recorder for ages.

    Naturally, the various wind-up clocks have to be altered as well.
