so if i buy a calcard and record the values in a log every month i don't need to get my MFT calibrated every year and i can just show my assessor(elecsa) this log and he'll be happy with it for 3 years?
if this is true then i could save 2 years calibration charges (£80) and all i'd have to do is buy a calcard for £25 and check once a month

Hi ExArmy, In my experience, it depends upon your assessor and whether he's happy to see a log you've kept.

Other electricians I've spoken to like to use a mechanically and electrically sound circuit at home to do a whole range of regular tests upon, and then keep these logged. This way, you're proving most of the test functions on an MFT, rather than just insulation resistance and continuity ranges.
