After my pre assessment this week, I was told that I must do a check on my test equipment at least every 3 months and keep a record of it and also that an annual calibration is not needed.Do all you NIC guys do this

Yes i use check box every 3 months and log records. This means instrument does not need yearly calibration.

I get instruments callibrated every 3 years unless check box shows up problem.

Calibration Checkbox CalCard Ext1 for checking Instrument calibration

Very small and very handy but doesn't seem to have a function for checking Zs or RCD tripping times which is a requirement for self checking.

Sorry incorrect as Zs and RCD times can be checked on known socket.

My NIC inspector recommended these during my inspection recently.

I check my meter about every 2 months on average. Never seems to vary much!

Mine gets checked once a year by my local meter calibrator.

Cant be doing with all the faffing with record keeping etc etc.

So do I, but the check box cant check RCD trip so it still needs annual cal anyway.

I just got my self check box out and it has a RCd check on it

Just to repeat what Sintra said...

<<.....Zs and RCD times can be checked on known socket.>>

The calcard is approved by niceic napet elecsa bsi etc etc and elecsa even sell them in their shopl as a reccomended self checker
