Kiwa expands calibration services to 40 GHz accreditation

Today, everything from telecommunications to aviation relies on radio frequency technology, and accuracy is not just important, it's essential. To meet the growing need in this area, Kiwa has been accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, specifically under registration number K063. This accreditation was granted by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA) and confirms that Kiwa's calibration laboratory in Woerden (The Netherlands) meets international standards of competence in testing and calibration.

The scope of the accreditation covers high frequency calibrations up to 40 GHz, for equipment such as E-field probes, EMI receivers and anechoic chambers.

Why calibration to 40 GHz is more important than ever

The modern world is based on high-frequency signals. From 5G networks that provide seamless connectivity to airborne radar systems that guide aircraft with millimeter precision, the role of ultra-high frequencies is unquestionable.

However, as technology advances, so does the demand for accurate calibration. Even minor deviations in high-frequency measurements can lead to lower performance, regulatory non-compliance or costly downtime.

As the industry continues to push the boundaries of innovation, the demand for reliable and accredited calibration services continues to grow. Kiwa' s newly accredited up to 40 GHz calibration meets this need - providing companies with the confidence that their high frequency equipment is operating at maximum performance while meeting the stringent requirements of industry standards.
