NCT exam, electric windows problem-Help.

Going for NCT tomorrow and passenger and rear windows decided to stop working today. Is this something that is normally tested during a NCT or is it outside the parameters of the test?
Cheers.

No it doesn't appear to be part of it.Have you checked the fuse? The drivers one has to work apparently.

Oh I may have been wrong

1.Check the condition and security of the windscreen and all side and rear windows.
2. Check that where the windscreen is made of glass it is marked as safety glass.
3. Check that there is an adequate view from the driving seat and that it is not interfered with by objects or stickers.
4. Check that in the case of vehicles first registered on or after 1st January 1986 the windscreen is made of laminated safety glass
and marked as shown on the attached Schedule I overleaf or to an equivalent standard as shown in Fig. 1 below.
5. Where windscreens, side or rear windows are fitted with glazing material other than safety glass the vehicle owner shall
provide a certificate from the manufacturer or installer stating that the glazing material is not likely, if fractured, to produce
fragments capable of causing severe cuts. In the case of rally cars, this may take the form of a note from the Technical
Commissioner of the RIAC in the vehicle log book.
6. Check that the driver’s window operating mechanism is functioning properly.
7. If an inspector deems that the windscreen or front side windows are excessively tinted, the level of light transmission
of the window should be tested using light meter capable of measuring the amount of light transmitted through the
windscreen and the side windows along side the driver to an accuracy of ± 3% and suitable for reliable use in an
inspection centre environment.
