GE’s Measurement & Control business has inaugurated a modern validation laboratory in Electronics City, Bangalore.

The new facility is the fourth of its type in the world for GE and the only lab in India to support the repair and calibration of Kaye validation products, the company said in a statement.

“The GE Kaye product range is designed to meet the most demanding industrial requirements for process improvement, thermal validation and reporting,” it said.

With the opening of the new lab, GE has expanded its services capability to support calibration of validators, temperature baths, ice point reference pressure sensors, temperature loggers and intelligent RTDs (IRTD) with precision and accuracy, to meet the critical requirements of the pharmaceutical and life science industries, the company said.

“The GE lab is the only one in India with the capability to calibrate temperatures to an accuracy of 0.005 degrees C. The lab will also help reduce the turnaround time for customers from three months to just one week,” it said.

“The new lab supports GE’s ‘In Country, for Country’ strategy to build on capabilities and resources within India,” said Mr Ashish Bhandari, regional general manager, Measurement & Control India.

“It also reinforces Measurement & Control’s vision to improve the health and productivity of its customers’ most critical industrial assets and systems through the application of smart, differentiated and integrated technology.”
