Where can I buy something to test my meggar

Was told by scheme provider, keep monthly logs from your check box, only if you see a difference in readings do you need to have it calibrated third party.!!

Help me out guys....

What is a "scheme". Are there several sets of electrical codes, and you just pick one?

In the UK, certain work is notifiable to the local Building Control office. There are 2 ways to notify this work,

1) Contact the Council yourself, tell them what work you are doing and where. They then charge you, usually a percentage of the job cost They will come and inspect the work and issue the homeowner with a certificate.

2) Join a Scheme provider. They basically test your level of competency and check you have the right tools and insurance etc. If you do a notifiable job then, you tell your scheme provider and they tell the council. Scheme provider charges you about £1.75 per notice. Council then issues cert to homeowner.

This is the cut down, simplified version. I just hope the worms stay in there can.

Try Calibration checkbox for checking electrical calibration of both Digital and Analogue Electrical Insulation and Continuity meters. What you're after is to check to bits of kit against each other, if you see the values start to climb or drop its time to get your tester looked at. Shouldn't happen on digital equipment but it provides you with evidence that your kit was in good order when you tested and that fault that made the bloke look like Don King happened after you left

Please insert the letter w into the first to to make it into two as the idiot typist forgot to do it first time round.

Problem can be at times if you are on some factory sites the factory maintenance engineer will want to see copies of calibration certificates and if these are not annual certs they will not except your test certificates even if you have been using a calibration test box.

Sorry, meant to say that you're not calibrating it, just checking it is not dropping out of calibration so you'll still need to send it off for calibration once a year.
