Sounds a fair price to be honest, with the delivery included.

Mine was double that... I took it to my local wholesaler who told me it would be about £80... got the bill it was £125!!!! ouch

I paid £50 to have mine done just before christmas, but you have to drop it off with them then pick it up when it's done. Luckily they're only 2 mins from my house

Does sound like a good price. Think the cheapest i've found was £85 plus postage.

Thats the price I just paid for a Fluke 1652, and the company was Certific8 Fast turn-around and easy to deal with. Sent with leads, all returned nicely labeled and a few extra goodies..........I will be using them again.

Certific8 were linked from NICEIC Site...I didn't take note of their whereabouts so will call them also as a guidance quote.

Should I also be getting my Voltage Indicator tested annually too??

I used test 4 less last year, i think they are in stafford area, cal'd and returned in 4 days, and it was less than £65.

Have a look at their website.

Hi, I was wondering the same thing, but my conclusion is that my voltage tester (Fluke T5-1000) is only an indicator, and any recorded measurements are made with the calibrated multitester. In practise, on the day my Megger cames back from calibration, I compare the readings for several voltages and resistances on my voltage tester to confirm it is giving me accurate results. This can be done any time in the year and might give an early indication that one or the other needs calibration.
