[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 75644, member: 650"] Absolutely 200% agree with you Noz. How about this: you've got a ten year old car. You have an accident. The airbags fail to operate within spec and someone is injured. Oh, but that's okay 'cos they haven't been tested for ten years. i don't think so!! Big litigation ahead. The quarterly test is only a [B]recommendation[/B], not a get out clause for a faulty item (although I'd say about 50% of RCD failures are due to dust and dirt, usually plaster dust, getting inside them and gumming them up - a very good reson to ensure the necessary IP protection for top surfaces of CUs) Safety [B]first[/B].
