Calibration Services
Get better test results. Simply.
A calibration label does not always mean your instruments are in tolerance and making accurate measurements. If your instrument is out-of-specification (out-of-tolerance), you can no longer trust your test results.
Are you 100% confident your calibration service partner provides an accurate calibration?
You May Face More Risk Than You Know
When was the last time you verified the information on your calibration report? Using older instruments to calibrate your test equipment puts you at risk for lower accuracy. Or even worse, critical parameters may not be tested at all.
Data from 10 calibration service providers show all but one tested performance of less than 50% of the instrument’s specifications — in some cases, testing was less than 25%. If your tests rely on key critical specifications that are missed during calibration, your test equipment is likely out-of-specification. And you can no longer trust your test results. This measurement uncertainty puts your reputation at enormous risk.
Reduce Risk And Costs Through Accurate Test
Avoid Measurement Decision Risk with Keysight Calibration Services
Calibration standards ensure that your test system is performing to specification. When you perform a measurement and subsequently compare the result to a specification, making a statement of conformity, you have two possible outcomes:
A. correct pass / fail decision
B. incorrect pass / fail decision
Two labs, A and B can observe identical measurement results but with different measurement uncertainties.
Given the choice of A or B, you would want to select A. Choice B often occurs when third-party calibration labs measure your instrument’s current performance with lab standards that are not up to the task.
Keysight Calibration Services minimizes the uncertainties of measurements during the development of performance tests, both in the selection of lab standards and in the calibration procedures. You can count on correct pass / fail results for any calibration that Keysight performs.
Avoid Overdue Calibrations
Select Infiniium Real-Time Oscilloscopes, Network, Signal, and Noise Figure Analyzers now include on-screen calibration due reminders on the front panel.
To ensure your instruments perform to Keysight factory specifications, calibrations are required. Our new feature, PathWave Calibration Advisor, helps you count on the accuracy of your measurements. From your screen, you get calibration due reminders, access to your calibration certificates, list of instrument configuration details, and easy calibration service ordering direct from Keysight.
Keysight Instrument Calibration Services
We measure every specification, every option, every time.
Select the right calibration for your Keysight instruments. Maybe you need measurement uncertainties, guardbanding, an accredited calibration, or a primary standards lab calibration. Alternatively, perhaps your calibration report needs to satisfy a particular ISO or ANSI metrology standard such as IS0 17025:2005 or ANSI Z540.3-2006. Keysight offers a wide range of calibration services to ensure you meet your requirements to your local and global needs.
All Keysight Service centers are accredited to their local accreditation body such as JCSS, CNAS, UKAS, ANAB, and so many more.

Calibration Services FAQ
Calibration services involve a verification and adjustment process for the precision and accuracy of measurement instruments. The calibration process ensures instruments provide reliable and consistent measurement results. Calibration is essential for maintaining the quality and integrity of measurements in various industries, including automotive, aerospace defense, wireless communication, and more.
Periodic calibration helps to identify instrument measurement deviations and inaccuracies, allowing for timely corrections. Instrument adjustments during calibration ensure compliance with industry standards but also enhances the overall efficiency and safety of operations.
Instrument calibration is crucial to ensure measurement accuracy and reliability. Accurate measurements are vital for quality control, safety, and regulatory compliance. Over time and without regular calibration, instruments can drift, leading to incorrect measurements and potentially costly errors. Regular calibration is a key component of maintaining high standards and operational excellence.
The frequency of calibration depends on several factors, including the type of instrument, its usage, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. In general, instrument calibration should occur annually, although high-usage or critical instrument applications may require more frequent calibrations.
Environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, can also affect an instrument’s need for more frequent calibration. Instruments used in harsh or variable environments may need more frequent checks to ensure measurements remain accurate. It’s essential to follow a calibration schedule tailored to the specific needs of the instrument and it’s environment.

A performance verification compares an instrument to a set of traceable standards and checks whether the instrument meets its published specifications. The resulting performance verification is either a “PASS” where everything is in specification and no adjustment is needed, or a “FAIL” where measurement(s) are out of specification and an adjustment (or in extreme cases a repair) is required.
A calibration is a more comprehensive process that includes one or more performance verifications plus any required adjustments to ensure the instrument is returned to the customer with all measurements within specification.
A calibration certificate is a document that verifies a device’s measurement accuracy by comparing it to a known standard. The certificate includes details of the device's identification, the calibration results and date, and the standards used during the calibration process. Additionally, the certificate includes the calibration technician’s name, and the instrument adjustments made.
The calibration certificate ensures that the device meets specified accuracy requirements and is traceable to national or international standards. It serves as a formal record of the instrument’s accuracy and is essential for maintaining quality control and compliance in various industries. Regular calibration and certification help ensure the reliability and precision of measurement instruments.
Selecting a calibration provider is as important as achieving accurate and reliable instrument measurements. When choosing a calibration service provider, consider their accreditation, experience, and reputation. Look for providers accredited by recognized bodies such as ANAB, A2LA, UKAS, and CNAS, who have certified the service providers compliance with international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025. A good calibration service provider should offer comprehensive services, including documentation, traceability, and support for new instrument measurement issues.

Using accredited calibration services ensures that the instrument calibration is performed in compliance with internationally recognized standards. Accredited calibration ensures confidence in the accuracy and reliability of the instrument’s measurements and to meet regulatory and quality requirements.
Traceability, which provides detailed documentation, support, and prompt issue resolution, is a part of accredited calibration services and is crucial for audits and quality control. The accredited calibration services traceability supports improved operation efficiency and reduced risk of measurement errors.
