SANTA ROSA, Calif., June 2, 2016

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced that the Keysight Korea service center is now accredited as a KOLAS calibration laboratory. This means the service center is now able to provide high-quality KOLAS calibration services, including on-site KOLAS calibration capabilities.

"Originally, the Keysight Korea service center offered service support for only power meters, signal analyzers, signal generators and network analyzers," said Bor Chun Gooi, general manager, Instrument Services Division, Keysight Technologies. "We now plan to expand our product support offerings to encompass a broader set of products based on our customers' request."

Customers requesting KOLAS accredited calibration is very common in South Korea, as well as instruments requiring maintenance management. Keysight added the KOLAS accredited calibration service to its center, including a new calibration room, to meet this customer need.

Keysight KOLAS calibration follows KASTO (Korea Association of Standards and Testing Organizations) recommended specifications, procedures and measurement uncertainty reporting methods. Based on test results, Keysight will make the appropriate adjustments to ensure the best possible instrument performance. The KOLAS calibration report is intended to help customers understand the instruments' performance, allowing them to better manage their instruments properly without losing valuable operational time. Given the scope of accreditation, and Keysight's in-depth knowledge, only those tests and calibrations that are most important are performed. This approach ensures customers save time and money, and therefore, reduce their total cost of ownership.

Additional information, including the KOLAS accreditation certificate and scope of accreditation, is available at www.keysight.com/find/accreditation.
