Test kit calibration.

[MNR]

At what point does a new test kit have to be calibrated? Is it still yearly? A friend of mine is sure it is ok for the first three years, sort of like a car mot.

Usually needs yearly calibration cert

If you are a member of a scheme, they will want to see annual calibration certs.

do you also do monthly checks with a checkbox or calcard and designated socket outlet

I understand that if you do the monthly checks as mentioned by brucelee, then some schemes will allow three year calibration.

Annually is what I thought as well, but a bloke I work with said he had a three year calibration cert from megger as it was a brand new machine.
