Cal Checking Your Test Instruments

[DownToEarth]

I use a Megger MFT all in one tester. The NIC inspectors are not impressed with just flashing a 12 monthly calibration certificat in there face.
So I need to purchase a test box and log the readings.
So can anyone advice.Whats on the market with regards to test boxes.
Plus any details on how they work?

This is what I use, along with a dedicated socket in the garage for live testing. I also made a results schedule to keep as a log.

I use the calibration box (niceic approved) providing readings ok calibration every three years.

Calibration checkbox for checking electrical calibration of both Digital and Analogue Electrical Insulation and Continuity meters

I think with Elecsa's backing the price has been pushed up beyond what it is worth. Think I'll stick with the bag of resistors

Got my Elecsa coming up soon, thanks for the heads up regarding additional evidence of calibration. After reading the rest of the guys comments I bought myself a dinky little checkbox from these people: www.mpelectrical.net/checkbox.htm, comes with an easy to use log sheet which is free as a download and instructions. Hope this helped!
