Mr. Scram:

--- Quote from: Specmaster on April 30, 2018, 08:22:10 pm ---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)

By the way, are you sure you're looking at a calibration with adjustment and not just a calibration? If you want a paper that says your meter is out of spec at the moment, I'll write one for you for half the money.

If traceability and certification aren't relevant, I can do a calibration for you over the internet. ;D

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 :)

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.

The one in Romford was a UKAS outfit as well  :-//

That’s a surprise! Romford innit. Got unsuccessfully carjacked there in the town multi storey car park once so YMMV.

Oh thanks, but I can also self certify as a qualified engineer in the same manner as I can sign peoples passports applications for them  :-+

This is something I really don't understand: Why would you even include/quote the pictures that are already in this thread in your reply? Sometimes I see one sentence replies that quote an enormous post and I really can't imagine why... I guess its not taking any server storage space but still I have to scroll past something I have already seen at least one time to get to the reply  :-//
