Have a look on Ebay.
There are many adverts on there, some will collect and return your tester.

Call Mike and he will let you know when he is in the area, and he will do it on site(as in the name) so you dont lose the tester for more than 45 minutes, good price and excellent service.

Hi Robert

Charge about £90 but will do while you wait

 

[Robert Turnbull]

Mike is based in Lincoln but as his company name implies "On site calibration" he travels all over and does the job at your adress

I have also used Capital Calibrations on the A12 and found them very good.

And i thought that all official certified calibrations of designated test equipment, should be carried out in a controlled environment, (usually i believe at a temperature of 25c)!! Or is this something else that's gone out the window??

There callibration shop in Harold Hillon the A12 South bound. They can do it the same day or while you wait for about £90.00

why 25deg.? very rare they'll be used at that temperature. in this country anyway. 15 - 20deg. is the most you'll find in a house or factory.

It could well be 20c, just that 25c rang a bell to me!! lol!!
But the fact remains typical calibration testing was always carried out in a controlled environment. Which formed part of the declaration on the test certificate issued...

20C for UKAS calibration & an uncertainty factor of k=2

It is normal to allow the instrument to stabilise for 12 hours before calibration in a UKAS lab

How many electricians use a UKAS lab?

Mores the point, ...How many electricians have correctly carried out calibrations to they're test equipment??


Can someone here, post a copy of a calibration certificate issued against a MFT or single unit tester, from one of these third party companies. I would be interested to see on what basis your equipment is tested against??
