Digital Mutimeter Calibration

[slackboy grim]

We have just been Audited as a company and one of the things they picked up on was that we have no process in place to check calibration monthly on the multimeter the engineers use.
Does anybody know of a check box on the market that will check, Voltage, Resitance and current?

If you're company is of any size, then it would be prudent to purchase a decent full size proving/checkbox test facility. For example, such as the Megger MTB7671/2 or Transmille 2080 and set up a regular in-house documented testing process of all company electrical test equipment....

What's wrong with a multimeter?
Try fault finding on electronic equipment to component level with an MFT!

Nothing wrong with it.

In schneiders case they wouldn't di that down my way

Get others in to do panel mods etc. If something doesn't work just replace it

Continuity is the most complicated test they use

Nothing wrong with owning a decent one, I know I have a laugh at times regarding them but I own a good one and it is a fantastic bit of kit, very useful, I use it quite a lot actually, so I understand your post.
