European Expansion

At its Cologne, Germany facility, the company received accreditation to perform on-site calibration for electronic instruments by the DAkkS accreditation body in the Federal Republic of Germany. Not limited by manufacturer, the accreditation strengthens Tektronix' growing MVS capabilities in Europe. The scope of the DAkkS accreditation is recognized internationally and covers all countries in the European community. Tektronix already has calibration labs in the UK, France, Germany, Russia and the Netherlands.
Increased Capability In Asia

In April, Tektronix' Beijing, China service center was accredited as a calibration service provider for electrical instruments by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS). This accreditation means that Tektronix can now calibrate thousands of electrical instruments including, oscilloscopes up to 6GHz, oscilloscope calibrators, multi-meters, arbitrary waveform generators, and more from hundreds of manufacturers.
In addition to the CNAS accreditation, both the Beijing, China and Tokyo, Japan service centers received A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation) accreditation to calibrate instruments to the stringent ISO 17025 accreditation standard, which is increasingly required by international companies.
In India, the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) has accredited Tektronix to calibrate electrical and RF instruments at its Bangalore service facility.
