Recertification
The following will be provided with a recertified kit:
•a new calibration sticker affixed to the case
•a certificate of calibration
•a calibration report for each device in the kit listing measured values, specifications, and uncertainties
NOTE | A list of NIST traceable numbers may be purchased upon request to be |
| included in the calibration report. |

Agilent Technologies offers a Standard calibration for the recertification of this kit. For more information, contact Agilent Technologies. See Table
Limited Recertification (Option 003)
The 50Ω loads in the calibration kit are specified for use up to 6 GHz. For many applications, the performance above 3 GHz is not utilized.
For a standard recertification, the devices in the calibration kit are tested and calibrated up to 6 GHz. However, a limited recertification can be requested. For this limited recertification, the devices are tested and calibrated up to 3 GHz.
To request a limited recertification, make sure the following is clearly written on the order: Limited Calibration
All loads that receive a limited calibration are supplied with a limited calibration label applied to the device.
How Often to Recertify
The suggested initial interval for recertification is 12 months or sooner. The actual need for recertification depends on the use of the kit. After reviewing the results of the initial recertification, you may establish a different recertification interval that reflects the usage and wear of the kit.
NOTE | The recertification interval should begin on the date the kit is first used after | ||
| the recertification date. | ||
