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

    The best resource is the IET Guidance Note Three Table 2.17 page 96, ultimately though for verification we only do a X1 Type AC test at 0 and 180 degrees then record the highest test result, utter regardless of what type of RCD it is.
