Outcome is the same AFAIK. Sometimes people want to know that the company they’re paying to do something isn’t using dell boy down the market so that adds a suitable paper trail.
Basically get a traceable cal done from someone who does UKAS :)

A sensible answer that concurs with my thoughts. Anyone who knows anything to with meters and standards knows that RS aren't muppets and in any case I'm not intending to sell the meter so I'm certainly not paying another £19 just to another piece of paper that states the UK government approves of them. I can write that myself on a piece of paper and present to myself along with the RS certificate of calibration (assuming they don't turn it down like the one in Romford did)

I'd grab it if it was a bit closer but it's about £45 (plus food) of travel for me plus a whole day out :(

Shhh!
Swansea is at the wrong end of the M4, over toll bridges. The car cost would be £80 at HMRC rates (which I use to try and convince myself that I don't want something).

That technique failed. I need to put it on record that I have a love-hate relationship with bd139 and mnementh.
I even gave him the full price (£120), because he was a young lad defecting to software that also gave me a cheap probe and a couple of books for the local Hackspace.

I don't suffer from insanity; I'm loving every damned minute of it!

I noticed a lot of cal places only do “testers” and seem to be run by chav trolls who spend more time calibrating what’s in their trousers. Phoned two and then just searched UKAS outfits.
