RCD Testing Frequency

Mark Fleming

Hi All,

Where an RCD is contained within a piece of electrical equipment such as an EV charger, is it still a requirement to test the RCD every 6 months in line with BS 7671 or are the intervals now the decision of the manufacturer of the piece of equipment containing the device?

Regards

Mark

    No, because it is a part of the electrical equipment as opposed to the installation.

    A manufacturer is, of course, at liberty to install a test button; or indeed, the equipment could perform a self-test at intervals or when plugged in, etc.
