Overview
The PowerCheck 1557 is a robust and comprehensive verification device designed specifically for routine performance checks of Portable Appliance Testers (PAT) and Installation Testers. Housed in a rugged, drop-resistant enclosure, it enables quick and reliable verification of key test functions between formal calibrations—ensuring instruments continue to operate correctly while in use.
Importantly, the PowerCheck 1557 is not a substitute for full, traceable calibration, but rather a valuable tool for periodic checking in line with quality assurance protocols and compliance requirements.
Compatible with a wide range of standards—including BS 7671, BS EN 61557, the IET On-Site Guide, and the IEE Code of Practice—this device helps meet the ongoing verification needs demanded by regulatory bodies such as NICEIC, ELECSA, and CORGI.
Please note that this items has a 6-8 week delivery time.
Application
