So you have a champion tester?
No, I dont. But I have emailed Champion earlier this afternoon for their comments.
We have an ATS spark plug tester

In the interest of helping the industry, sure, see below. There is no letter of exemption. Calibration of the gauge, it's just not required.

Good Morning,
We have purchased your spark plug tester (through Aircraft Spruce). As the device has a pressure gauge on it, we requested (through Aircraft Spruce) a certificate of calibration for this gauge. We received a response from Aircraft Spruce that calibration for the gauge was not required.
Our Aviation authority (CASA Australia) here is requiring the device be
calibrated at regular intervals as your instruction manual says the air
pressure must be increased until it is in the yellow range. They ask "how do
we know it is in the yellow range?"
Enquiring at other local maintenance organisations, some inspectors are
requiring calibration while others do not.
Are able to send a response to indicate if the device actually requires
calibration on a regular basis if at all?
Thank-you,
The response from Aircraft Tool Supply:
