Calibration FAQ
Calibration is the process of comparing the accuracy of Instrument Readings to known Standards, whose traceability is maintained by National or International standards.
At Test4Less it also means that your equipment gets cleaned and the case & leads safety checked. You would be amazed at how many Instruments arrive at our laboratory for calibration with taped-up test leads, damaged probes and cases with holes in them! We aim to keep your equipment inventory in tip-top condition by making sure that you get the most from your investment.
Within the Contracting Industry, Calibration is important to anyone issuing Test Certificates to clients (Including BS7671 / 17th Edition, Part P and Portable Appliance Testing results.)
Without Calibration, you do not have a recognised method of ensuring that the equipment used during these tests is accurate. You may fail installations or appliances that are perfectly fine or more importantly you may issue a pass Certificate on an installation that should have failed and could possibly be dangerous. Put simply, for such a small cost, let’s all ensure we do this right.
Checkboxes were never intended to replace an annual calibration check. They are intended to be used to confirm ongoing accuracy between your annual calibration. Most checkboxes only have a very limited number of values that can be used to check against, compare this to the whole list of readings that you receive from a calibration laboratory who will be checking your equipment on calibrators which costs many thousands of pounds.
By using a lab you can be sure that every range on your equipment is comprehensively checked giving you and your customer peace of mind in the results obtained.
more and more customers are requesting calibration certificates of equipment used on their sites. Showing them a checkbox or a certificate showing half a dozen readings obtained from a checkbox is not really good enough.
The UK’s leading test equipment manufacturers including Megger, Fluke & Seaward all recommended annual calibration in calibration laboratory to ensure ongoing accuracy verification or their equipment.
The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is the sole UK national Accreditation body recognised by the government to assess, against internationally agreed standards, organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection & Calibration Services. UK Test Instruments Ltd obtained UKAS recognition in 2008.

Any Certificates issued with bear the UKAS Logo and will be fully traceable back to National Standards; UKAS carefully monitor our laboratory to ensure end-to-end compliance.
Standard Test4Less Certificates are also of an extremely high calibre and also use standards traceable back to national standards.
All procedures employed and results reported are in compliance with the international standards ISO/IEC17025

Instruments that require repair are normally returned within 14 working days.
However, we are sometimes at the mercy of other suppliers if non-stocked spare parts are required.
Where this is the case you will be informed or a revised delivery date. If we are unable to repair the item or it is beyond economical repair you may choose for us to return the unit to you or scrap the unit on your behalf.
We not not warrant the whole Instrument but just the repair that has been carried out.
Should the same fault develop again within 3 months of the repair and it is not due to operator error we will repair the unit again free of charge.
As much as possible would be nice! We normally ask for 1 month but we can usually accommodate an urgent requirement if needed.
Please call the Sales Department to check for availability.
