how do they apply the one minute test rate over say 2 hours of ips sorting

you cannot keep that prep rate up over 2 hours and is there any agreement to cover this

This one has a bit more detail:

It does say that a relaxation allowance is given as the one minute standard cannot be achieved over the full shift.
I believe the relaxation allowance is 10% but this might just be my area.

they are not supposed to apply this over any period other than 1 minute, no prep standards have been agreed for any other timescale and this is still under discussion as with the cwu as far as im aware,

There is no agreed performance standard for the shift but they have to use a figure for resourcing purposes.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
