Discuss Torque Screwdriver Calibration Company? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

A lot of people consider an EICR expensive but MFT's aare expensive and have to be calibrated etc which all adds to the cost.
The calibration companies have equipment that needs calibrating and UKAS assessments which all adds to the cost

So it's bite the bullet and pay to recalibrate or speak to the manufacturer to see if they do a lower cost calibration or have a trade in option against a new unit

So if it takes 2 - 3 days or more to get it recalibrated you have 2 - 3 days or more of downtime where you cannot install or repair kit by buying a new one there is no downtime, alternatively buying a second one and recalibrating your existing one when the second on needs recalibrating you can swap over and there is zero downtime for calibration
I appreciate that calibration costs money, overheads etc. Just feels like everyone wants money at the minute, I seem to be constantly paying out with little to show for it.

It looks like I'll be getting a new driver, leaving my old one for a few months then calibrating that one so I have a decent time frame between them.

Some bright park in the telecoms industry has decided a new network operators passport scheme is a good idea, one card to show we have the required qualifications to be working on site. A bit like the CSCS card system, which we alreadyy have to have for a lot of customers. the NOPS card is £35 to start off with then £6 a time to upadte any qualifcations, bearing in mind some are annually such as asbestos awareness, manual handling etc, the costs soon add up. My annual training bill is the thick end of £200.

That job in the big orange shed selling hammers to old ladies is looking better every day...

I'm a Yorkshireman, I hate spending money.
