working for electrical safetyACCURACY OF TEST INSTRUMENTSDomestic Installers have a responsibility to ensure the accuracy and consistency of test instruments used to carry out the range of measurements required by BS 7671 for certification purposes. They should therefore already have in place an effective system which enables them to confirm the continuing accuracy and consistency of all test instruments used for certification and reporting purposes.

NICEIC Engineers will check the effectiveness of the system each installer has in place to ensure the accuracy and consistency of their test instruments. These checks will be in addition to the checks already made of the suitability of test instruments to carry out the range of tests required by BS 7671.

There are a number of alternatives for such control systems, including:

• Maintaining records of the formal calibration/re-calibration of test instruments as recommended by the instrument manufacturers, supported by calibration certificates issued by recognised organisations with measurements traceable to national standards.

Certificates issued by UKAS accredited laboratories are preferable.

NICEIC recommend more frequent checks as detailed below to ensure continuing accuracy and consistency.

• Maintaining records over time of comparative cross-checks with other test instruments used by the business*.

• Maintaining records over time of measurements of the

characteristics of designated reference circuits or devices. For example, the consistency of continuity, insulation resistance and earth electrode test instruments could be checked against a proprietary resistance box or a set of suitable resistors. Earth fault loop impedance test instruments could be checked by carrying out tests on a designated socket-outlet (on a non-RCD protected circuit) in the contractor’s office. RCD test instruments could be checked by carrying out tests on an RCD unit plugged into the designated socket-outlet*.

NICEIC recommends all systems start from formal calibration. As already required by the NICEIC, each test instrument used by the business should be clearly and uniquely identified for record and traceability purposes.

If an installer is unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the NICEIC Engineer that an effective control system is in place which ensures the continuing accuracy and consistency of the test instruments used to carry out the tests required by BS 7671, the NICEIC Engineer will record a non-compliance in the Assessment Report.

An example of a test instrument accuracy record is shown overleaf.

*These systems can only provide a measure of confidence in the consistency of test measurements over time. The accuracy of each test instrument will need to be confirmed before any reliance can be placed in such systems. It should be noted that new or repaired test instruments may not be supplied with calibration certificates unless specifically requested.
