Unless you are qualified in gas forget it.

My son is a corgi registered gas engineer and has a special instrument for doing such tests.

Best see a professional.

Stuart,

The test point on a regulator allows you to measure the delivery pressure.

The modern 30 millibar regulator produces a pressure of 0.435 psig and no DIY person is going to have the right (manometer) tool at home - and it needs a properly trained person anyway...

As has been said, a special pump with volumiser is needed to test the regulator and pipework.

In a similar vein, the yellow valve next to the test point is NOT to be used as a normal use gas shut off, it is only put there for engineers to use when testing.
