Thank you, Cavortingcheetah, for your replay.
I don't complain about doing the test, as it's a requirement for the "over 60s" to renew the Class1 medical and also a good prevention tool (getting alive away from it ) to discover undetected problems with a normal ECG.
The issue I voice is regarding the CAA approval of the AeMC to conduct all these test (including those for old pilots) lined up to the international standards.
I went through the CAA "approval" document of the AeMC and it states clearly that the "minimum equipment" for the cardiology tests include the ECG under stress, but they don't want to administer in-house and send people to any external center.
Of course, now I'll have to go external, but I'm going to report this issue to the CAA, copy EASA.
Thank you.
