I don't think any of Fluke's "Asian" meters have 3rd party certification either. You have to trust Fluke that (eg.) their 101 is really CAT rated. :popcorn:

Left, made in USA, right made in China. Attached is also the recall for the Chinese made Fluke. Take the time to read the last remark. :popcorn:

I meant "Only for sale in the Asian market", not "Made in China". My bad.
I don't think the 101, 15B/17B, etc. are officially available outside of Asia, hence they aren't 3rd-party certified. The 11x series are available in other areas, hence they are.

Thus proving that it's impossible for a Youtuber (or anyone else) to simply look at the insides of a meter and proclaim a CAT rating.

I hope that Dave will simply state that it's only for poking around in low voltage/ low energy electrical circuits.

Are you accusing Sanwa of lying about their CAT ratings?

Is say the meter looks it will meet the specs. Plus Sanwa has a good reputation. Like the cheap Flukes(for the Chinese market, but still Flukes!), so wy should Dave say its only good for low voltage/energy ? What makes you think that ? Because its not third party certified ? Youre welcome to proove Sanwa wrong and sue them then.
If a company has a good reputation and they lie about CAT ratings they would not only be sued, but afterwards loose a lot of credibility and market share.
