Testing

Sam Ayre

Should we be testing after a fused spur for example on a heating circuit I've always been told to only test upto the fused spur but that doesn't seem right to me what's other opinions?

    Good question.  Inspection and testing or EICR and Pat seem to have the grey area between them.  Classic example is a hand dryer to the pub toilet.

    Personally I think test all the way to the appliance would be best as with the hand dryer the their could be a metal casing which has become Live. 

    Another example is the immersion heater element in the boiler tank.  How would you know of a fault?
