Wanted, calibration service

Came across this in Electro Facts mag last month....

I wonder if this would suffice as a 'check box' in the eyes of the scams?

Sighhhhhhhhh.... Oh here we go again, NICEIC. Bashing!!. Right, what the NICEIC want you to have is a record of basic calibration checks, done monthly, using a £20 calcard or home made similar.

That way in the event of your meter going out of calibration a record can be produced for that meter showing its most recent accuracy, other wise if your meter was calibrated 11 1/2 months ago, and it's now showing faulty readings, all of your testing in the last say 11 months can be called into question, and anyone such as HSE, site/ contracts managers can then ask you to go back and re test everything in that 11 month period.

If you can produce monthly records then they may only call in to question the last couple of tests.

This is supposed to be supplementary to annual calibration and my Area eng, describes it as "rectum protectum" seems to make sense to me!

Isn't that what I said in post 10?

I got one of those with my meter. it does the job fine for IR and resistance. Then just select a socket in your house to do Zs and RCD tests.
