Test box

[sparks1234]

Does anybody use the test boxes for selfchecking of their test equipment?

No.

What are the requirements for getting your meter recalibrated and certified? I am with the NIC and I think they want it done annually although not sure.

Will probably make up a basic test box myself for a tenner and use a 'known' socket for the loop impedence.

I also use the old noggin to tell me if a reading makes sense which gives me peace of mind the my meter is ok on a day to day basis.

You should send your meter off annually but I know several years ago the NIC wanted to see the monthly self test results for your meter calibration, thats why we have one of these boxes.
Anyone need one?

I dont use them.

The only requirement is that they are calibrated once a year, although the NIC do say that if you keep a monthly check on your meters with a log, then this isnt necessary.
