Critical protection that must operate.

RCD testing for reliable protection.

Because milliseconds matter!

RCDs are designed to disconnect power quickly during faults, reducing the risk of electric shock and fire. Routine testing confirms correct trip times and operation, supporting safety expectations under BS 7671 and good maintenance practice.

We test RCD performance, identify nuisance tripping causes, and provide actionable recommendations – helping keep sites safe while reducing unexpected outages.

A quick test which saves lives!

Why property managers should schedule RCD testing.

Ensure life-critical protection.

RCDs (Residual Current Devices) help prevent fatal electric shocks by quickly disconnecting circuits when a fault is detected.

Detect hidden faults early.

Routine testing identifies deteriorating RCD performance before it becomes a safety issue.

Clear reporting for audits and records.

You’ll receive documentation confirming test results and any required actions, supporting inspections and insurance requirements.

Meet safety and compliance standards.

Regular RCD testing supports duty-of-care obligations and aligns with recognised electrical safety guidelines.

Protect assets and minimise risk.

Properly functioning RCDs reduce the likelihood of electrical faults that can damage equipment or cause downtime.

FAQs

Common questions about RCD testing, frequency, and costs.

Why do fuseboards display a 6-month RCD test notice?

Most fuseboards display a notice advising that RCDs should be tested every six months. This reflects manufacturer guidance intended to confirm that RCD mechanisms operate correctly and continue to provide protection.

Regular testing helps ensure RCDs will trip as intended in the event of a fault, supporting electrical safety and ongoing compliance.

What is RCD testing?

RCD testing checks that residual current devices operate correctly by tripping within the required time and sensitivity, ensuring they will protect people and property in the event of a fault.

Who needs RCD testing?

RCD testing is important for property managers, landlords, and facility operators to demonstrate electrical system safety and compliance.

How often should RCDs be tested?

Best practice typically involves periodic testing (often annually), although specific requirements may vary depending on building use and regulations.
