[QUOTE="paulh, post: 31008, member: 656"] my tester gets calibrated every year....the meter in question has never been altered at the calibration stage because it didn't need it like virtually every single one they test, Every year as the cert runs out one of the companys I work for request the new one. Also this company is quite large with lot's of meter's etc but get them calibrated/checked every year. I haven't researched this but its good practice to check your own meter for repetetive results however a valid test cert will be required. I personally use a 1 ohm resistor and check the same socket every so often. I think the 3-4 years later approach will not suffice in this cover my a##e society. I know a collegue of mine had to re-test some ceiling anchors because the cert had expired. When his tester was checked for calibration it was perfect. [/QUOTE]
