No. To have half of one of these, you wouldn't have missed a "[" off the code!! You must have a quarter of one of these...

 

[ashm]

i'll settle for that, is that enough to test my wiring?

 

[securespark]

As long as you don't make a mistake and apply 240V to it, yes!!

 

[ashm]

wont be doing that!! what tests do domestic electricians do? i'm happy with insulation and continuity testing even mega-ing, but on aircraft wiring with set limits, how do you test domestic instalations.

 

[securespark]

Well, IR, continuity, loop tests, and RCD testing covers most of it.

You need more than your kit to do all of the above.

If you can lay your hands on a template for an Installation Completion Report, you will see what you have to find to fill it in.

I may have a soft copy somewhere.

Edit, or buy a copy of the On-Site Guide (OSG) and it will be very useful to you.
