I've got some ways of calibrating DVMs,

While you may have some accurate ways of calibrating (or checking the
calibration of) a multi-meter I guess the average electrician doesn't.
Was that resistance measurement really 2 ohms or was it actually 4
ohms but with a partially fried ranging component?

How often would a sparkie want to measure more than whether 230V was
there or not with a DVM ?


Do you mean that they don't actually do earth bonding tests etc. It may
not be performed with the £4 LIdl special offer DVM but it should be
with equipment that is calibrated if they are going to issue a
certificate saying that the installation is safe..
