PROFILE

Established in 1985, Repair and Calibration Laboratories (RCL) is now one of the leading companies in the field of instrument calibration and repair within the UK.

In 1986, as a result of its firm commitment to quality, RCL became the first independent calibration company to achieve the British Standard Institution's approval ISO 9002 (now ISO 9001:2000). This was followed in 1992 by the Standards Laboratories accreditation by the United Kingdom Accreditations Service (UKAS), formerly known as NAMAS.

In the early years, the company was primarily concerned with the calibration and repair of general-purpose test equipment from dc to 1 GHz before moving to microwave systems for the majority 0f general-purpose instruments.

We are also able to calibrate more specialised areas, for example, VXI cards, Teradyne Self Test Boxes, Dynamic Loads and Static Safety Instrumentation. RCL have been chosen by manufacturers as a UK support agency, who have included:

ACDC: Electronic Loads

Bell Efratom: Rubidium and Quartz oscillators and time frequency systems

Bentham: Current Amplifiers

EIP Microwave: Microwave source locking frequency counters

Giga-tronics: Microwave Signal sources

Mead Aviation: Aviation Battery Chargers

Practical Power: Static Safety Instrumentation
