I've got a 3 phase DB with individual RCBO's supplying various equipment, Fire Alarm Controller/Water Heaters/Office Sockets/Office Lighting/Air Conditioning Controller.

GN3 suggests "Any load or appliances should be disconnected prior to testing", would it be ok remove the supply at the RCBO for this and is it necessary to remove the load?
 
Would removing the fuse from a spur be sufficient enough to remove the load as there are a couple of circuits that feed a spur then the device.
Full arc flash gear will be worn under companies rules.
 
Yes removing the fuse would be sufficient, or just switching the spur off if it has a switch.

I do not believe there is a standard form for quarterly RCD testing.
I would either create your own form or modify say a minor works certificate to an RCD testing report.
Something like this depending on what you need to report
