calibration

[jg90]

Thinking of buying a multifunction tester from someone he says the tester is calibrated up to a certain mont it has the sticker stating so but their Is no certificate is this ok ?

If there isn't a certificate then it can't be classed as being calibrated IMHO.

bit like sticking a pass label on PAT stuff.

or a PIR label on a CU,

no cert, no test.
