RCD testing times BYB vs OSG

[haptism]

Happy new year folks; just been looking at trip times as i need a photocopy for a client. Anyhow, in the OSG (page 112) for a general RCD, it states "with a leakage current of 100% the device should open in less than 200ms".

However in the BYB (Table 3A, page 318) the table says device should open in less than 300ms!

I work to 300ms for 100% as per the BYB and 40ms for 500% for additional protection, as per the BYB.

You're looking at BS 4293... 11.3 in the OSG covers 61008 and 61009.
