The Code of Practice also provides advice on testing of RCD-DDs to BS IEC 62955. BS 7671 does not require tests of RDC-DDs to be conducted, however, tests could be carried out for fault-finding purposes, or functional testing if recommended by the manufacturer of the RDC-DD or electric vehicle charging equipment. Although, it should be noted that the test parameters in RCD test instruments or multifunction testers to BS EN IEC 61557 series Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC. Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures are not always suitable for RDC-DDs.
