How often should RCDs be tested in the West Midlands?

RCDs should be tested quarterly by pressing the test button, and professionally tested every 1–3 years or as part of an EICR. Regular testing ensures they will operate correctly in the event of a fault.

What does RCD testing involve in the West Midlands?

Professional RCD testing uses calibrated equipment to verify that each RCD trips within the required 30ms at its rated current. This confirms the device will provide adequate protection in the event of an earth fault.

What happens if an RCD fails its test in the West Midlands?

A failed RCD must be replaced immediately as it is not providing the required level of protection. We carry replacement RCDs and RCBOs and can replace failed devices on the same visit.

Is RCD testing required for landlords in the West Midlands?

RCD testing is carried out as part of the EICR process, which is legally required for landlords every 5 years. We include full RCD testing in all our EICR inspections across the West Midlands.

Do you issue RCD test certificates in the West Midlands?

Yes — we issue full RCD test certificates on the same day as testing across the West Midlands. These are required for EICR compliance, insurance purposes and landlord records.
