PAT Tester Calibration Service
Regular calibration ensures that your PB500 PAT Tester provides accurate test results every time - and our calibration service is second to none.


What is Calibration?

Portable Appliance Testers need to be calibrated annually to ensure that they are measuring the correct parameters when you carry out your portable appliance checks. Your PB500 and accessories need to be checked thoroughly by a trained engineer on our premises to ensure that it is working correctly. It is then tested using special equipment to ensure that it is working correctly and giving accurate readings. The PB500 needs to be calibrated every 12 months.

Why Calibrate?

The requirement to recalibrate PAT Checkers at regular intervals is covered by Regulation No. 6 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998. This states that the PAT Checker should be calibrated in line with the manufacturers recommendation. The process of calibrating your machine ensures that your equipment is working exactly as intended by the manufacturer, Seaward. Wear and tear frequent and infrequent usage may impair the performance of the PB500 as it is carrying out extremely sensitive electrical checks. The results indicated by the machine may be impaired if it is not checked annually as part of the calibration service which may in turn affect the outcome of any investigations carried out by the Health & Safety Executive or by Insurance Loss Adjustors.

When should I have my machine calibrated?

You should have your PB500 calibrated annually on each anniversary of your having purchased the item. Parker Bell will send you a letter in the month preceding your calibration due date to remind you that you need to schedule your calibration. It also details your options for arranging to return your equipment to Parker Bell.
