If people don't want to test the rcd button by the recommendation of a label it's their problem

Perhaps a mcb should have a test button.

How would that work?

I don't have the RCD test label on my CU.... took it off after my assessment.

Most people don't know what an RCD is, let alone understand they need to test it!

How would that work?

It would go bang!

Can anyone tell me if they know of anyone that regularly tests their RCD's every 3 months?

Lawn mowing , hedge trimming season maybe ?
Since having unreliable ones on extension leads !

(Don't cut the cord or it becomes a mcb test )

It's a true statement however they are required to be fixed on/near the db in not smaller than the text size given in bs 7671

The dual color warning label is a waste of time, money and space

A requirement none the less if required
