Recertification

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 5-1 on page 5-3.

Limited Recertification

The 75Ω loads in the calibration kit are specified for use up to 3 GHz. For many applications, the performance above 2 GHz is not utilized.

For a standard recertification, the devices in the calibration kit are tested and calibrated up to 3 GHz. However, a limited recertification can be requested. For this limited recertification, the devices are tested and calibrated up to 2 GHz.

To request a limited recertification, make sure the following is clearly written on the order: Limited Calibration DC–2 GHz.

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.

Where to Send a Kit for Recertification

Contact Agilent Technologies for information on where to send your kit for recertification. See Table 5-1 on page 5-3.

When you return the kit, complete and attach a service tag. Refer to “Returning a Kit or Device to Agilent” on page 5-3for details.
