Test Equipment Repair Services from Rohde & Schwarz Experts

Long-term equipment availability with repairs performed by Rohde & Schwarz experts

When your equipment needs repair, fast action matters. At Rohde & Schwarz, the engineers and technicians who designed your instrument are the ones who repair it the way it was built. Our repair coverage gives you predictable costs, manufacturer-level repair, and long-term protection for your test and measurement equipment. Rohde & Schwarz repair service connects you with the experts who know your instruments best. Their in-depth knowledge guarantees comprehensive test instrument repair and extends the longevity of your products.

Repair coverage: Avoid unexpected repair costs

Repair coverage is your protection against unexpected repair costs: whenever your instrument needs service, you are covered. Instead of reacting to each repair case individually, you secure manufacturer service in advance with a single service plan, benefiting from fixed costs and no surprises.

Like an authorized service agreement, repair coverage keeps your equipment protected and operational throughout its entire lifecycle, not just when something goes wrong. We provide full coverage for test and measurement instruments used under normal operating conditions. Every repair case is handled by us directly, by the team that built your test and measurement instrument and knows exactly how to restore it.

The longer you rely on your instruments, the more valuable the coverage becomes. With standardized packages for up to five years, we support you well beyond the standard warranty period – and even longer, if required.

What is included?

  • Repairs performed by Rohde & Schwarz experts
  • Manufacturer calibration and adjustments that are required during repair
  • Firmware updates
  • Preventive maintenance and service modifications
  • Coverage options for up to 5 years
  • Custom terms and longer coverage periods available upon request

The benefits of our repair coverage for your instruments

By choosing Rohde & Schwarz repair coverage, you are securing a long-term partnership with the manufacturer that knows your test instrument best. From the very first repair, we keep your equipment performing exactly as it should.

Every plan includes the following benefits:

  • Higher equipment availability: Get your instrument back into operation with manufacturer-level service, industry-proven best practices, and efficient handling.
  • Manufacturer expertise: Have your equipment restored in line with their original product standards, as only the manufacturer can do, including applicable updates and service modifications.
  • Long-term support: Keep your instruments covered even after the standard warranty period has expired, with access to original spare parts and repairability advice through our 30 regional service locations.
  • Less internal effort: Reduce quotation, approval, and budget escalation workflows when service is due.
  • Total cost of ownership: Plan lifecycle costs with confidence – predictable repair bills, proactive procurement, and projectable long-term TCO.

Why Rohde & Schwarz is the right repair partner

Your high-quality equipment deserves more than a basic best-effort repair.
