Anyone know where I can get my Unitest insulation, RCD & loop testers calibrated in East Anglia (Ipswich)? Just trying to save on a bit of postage.

Mike from On Site Calibration Services | Mobile Calibration Services does mobile calibration. i.e. he will come to you which is perfect for saving postage and time.
I've only used him once so far but I was impressed and will use him again next year.
Had a visit from the NIC on Monday, Offered the calibration cert and was told it's not worth the paper it's written on, Apparantly now we need something called ongoing accuracy with meters, A proving unit to prove it's accuracy (to be done every 3 months) It's a new one on me
No doubt some of the hierarchy in the NIC have contacts in the calibration world and they're not getting a good enough cut. What a load of bolloks, annual calibration is a good enough industry standard across most regimes, why should the NIC be any different. Sorry I forgot, they are the be all and end all of the job...Had a visit from the NIC on Monday, Offered the calibration cert and was told it's not worth the paper it's written on, Apparantly now we need something called ongoing accuracy with meters, A proving unit to prove it's accuracy (to be done every 3 months) It's a new one on me
My 1553 is 5 yrs old.Mike from On site callibration had it the other day, still as accurate as ever. Has anyones MFT ever strayed off kilter? Not an obvious fault, but lost accuracy?
I agree, Mike does it for £45 over the weekend, great service.
Sighhhhhhhhh.... Oh here we go again, NICEIC. Bashing!!. Right, what the NICEIC want you to have is a record of basic calibration checks, done monthly, using a £20 calcard or home made similar.
That way in the event of your meter going out of calibration a record can be produced for that meter showing its most recent accuracy, other wise if your meter was calibrated 11 1/2 months ago, and it's now showing faulty readings, all of your testing in the last say 11 months can be called into question, and anyone such as HSE, site/ contracts managers can then ask you to go back and re test everything in that 11 month period.
If you can produce monthly records then they may only call in to question the last couple of tests.
This is supposed to be supplementary to annual calibration and my Area eng, describes it as "rectum protectum" seems to make sense to me!
Came across this in Electro Facts mag last month....

I wonder if this would suffice as a 'check box' in the eyes of the scams?
