Not when I do it!

If the RCD trips when the iron isn't on, it doesn't mean it's not the iron.
An RCD will trip if N-E shorts somewhere too.  I replaced a whole CU in my
previous house and hadn't finished the first evening, so I powered up
leaving a few circuits switched off.  I couldn't get the RCD to stay on
because I had some unfinished wiring with the cables touching each other!

Go round the house and unplug everything, then plug one thing in at a time,
turning it off and on, and hopefully you'll find the culprit.

Alex.
