We’ve also produced a helpful poster summarising the core steps, which can be downloaded for free from our website.

Safety and efficiency with multifunction testers

The role of multifunction testers in electrical installations. Safety is never simply a priority in electrical installations, it’s always a necessity. Making sure each installation is thoroughly tested requires reliable, accurate tools and effective methods – and that’s where multi-function testers (MFTs) come in.

MFTs now dominate the 18th edition test market, streamlining the testing process by combining multiple essential tests into one convenient, handheld device. This article explores:

🔸Choosing the right multifunction tester for your business
🔸Improving efficiency with multifunction testers
🔸Accuracy, calibration and reporting
🔸Key tests carried out using multifunction testers
🔸Selecting an MFT for current and future requirements
