OUR RESOURCES,
TO THINK DIFFERENTLY
TEST AND MEASUREMENT

Axitest, a French specialist for over 27 years, offers the sale, hire and reconditioning of test and measurement instruments in France and Europe. Our multi-brand catalogue includes oscilloscopes, multimeters, analysers, generators and other test and measurement equipment, tailored to the needs of industry, laboratories, education and defence. We also offer rental, trade-in, refurbishment and metrology services, for reliable and responsible solutions.

What sets us apart is our specialisation in controlled industrial refurbishment: each piece of equipment is tested, checked and repaired if necessary. We combine this technical expertise with flexible solutions (trade-in, rental, metrology) to support our customers throughout the lifecycle of their equipment.

No. Although refurbished equipment is our core business, we also offer new equipment, as well as rental solutions (short, long-term or financial) to cover all needs.

Axitest has been active in test and measurement since 1998, with over 27 years' experience serving industry, laboratories, education and defence.

Axitest is based in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (94100). We deliver our equipment throughout France and internationally, with a team of sales representatives covering every geographical area, in France and abroad.

Our customers come from a wide range of sectors: aerospace, defence, naval, telecoms, energy, rail, nuclear, electronics, education and research. This diversity enables us to adapt our test and measurement solutions to very different technical contexts.

Our CSR policy is based on the re-use of test and measurement equipment, the environmental traceability of each trade-in and partnerships with social economy players such as Ateliers Sans Frontières. We also support reforestation programmes via Tree-Nation to offset our environmental impact.

We offer all types of electronic and electrical test and measurement equipment, whether portable or mobile: oscilloscopes, multimeters, analysers, generators, calibrators and much more.

Yes, we regularly take back equipment that is compatible with old test benches. Our expertise consists of identifying the references that are still supported, reconditioning them and delivering them ready for use, with traceability and warranty. This means you can extend the life of your test benches without having to replace them completely.

Yes, we continuously update our online catalogue with products that are immediately available. You can consult it directly here *link* to see the test and measurement instruments ready for delivery.

If you can't find the reference you're looking for in our online catalogue, you can send us the model or technical specifications you're looking for via the quote request form, the contact page, or directly by e-mail to contact@axitest.com. We will first try to locate the exact part number through our network of partners. Only if it is no longer available will we propose an equivalent alternative.

A second-hand appliance is simply resold as is, with no real guarantee of its condition or history.
A reconditioned appliance, on the other hand, goes through a complete process: functional tests, checking of options, replacement of parts if necessary and warranty.

At Axitest, we go one step further by selecting only reliable suppliers and carrying out systematic checks before remarketing. This guarantees our customers a level of safety and performance comparable to that of new equipment, but at an optimised cost.

Reliability is guaranteed by a complete industrial process: each device is tested on its main functions, checked on its options and aesthetically checked. A verification report, measurement records available on request, and a guarantee of up to 12 months accompany each delivery.

We only work with reliable suppliers. The equipment is checked and calibrated (on customer request) at Menova, our independent partner laboratory accredited by COFRAC (no. 2-6760) and compliant with the requirements of ISO 17025, which guarantees that the equipment delivered is functional, ready for use and complies with the expectations of laboratories and technical departments. Measurement records can be added on request to guarantee the reliability of the results.

Before going on sale, each instrument undergoes a series of tests defined by internal technical specifications. These tests vary according to the type of instrument, but always follow a strict logic: check overall correct operation, check the outputs, compare the information displayed on the screen with the signals measured, and ensure consistency with our internal criteria.

A verification report is then drawn up, specific to Axitest's requirements, which may go beyond those of the manufacturer. This guarantees that the equipment delivered is operational and complies with demanding industrial use.

Yes, all our instruments are systematically checked before being put up for sale or hire (at the customer's request). This is a rigorous internal verification stage, carried out in accordance with our own specifications, to guarantee the correct operation and accuracy of each instrument.

At the customer's request, we can also offer certified calibration by our Menova, our independent partner laboratory, COFRAC accredited (№2-6760) and ISO 17025 compliant. This option provides an official calibration certificate, recognised in industrial and regulated environments.

Yes, all our devices are delivered ready to use: they are systematically checked, accompanied by a verification report, and shipped with their essential accessories (leads, probes, power supply). So you can integrate them immediately into your test benches or procedures, without any further delay.

We provide post-purchase technical support, including warranty, after-sales service and assistance from our technicians for commissioning or diagnostics.

However, we do not supply spare parts directly. Where appropriate, we offer complete repair of the appliance to extend its life and ensure its continued use.

Yes, you can return a device to us for preventive maintenance, repair or calibration. Each return is handled by our technical team, who carry out a diagnosis, apply our internal calibration procedures and, if necessary, organise a calibration via our independent partner laboratory Menova. This ensures that your equipment remains compliant and reliable over time.

Yes, a reconditioned device is perfectly capable of passing a quality audit, provided that it is delivered with the appropriate documents. At Axitest, each piece of equipment is supplied with a verification report issued by Menova, our independent partner laboratory, which is COFRAC accredited (no. 2-6760) and complies with ISO 17025 standards. Measurement records can be added on request to guarantee traceability and reliability.

Yes, we can provide proof of performance in the form of physical measurement records taken during our inspections. These documents demonstrate the conformity and reliability of the equipment in an operational context or during an audit.

Yes, all new equipment is delivered with a manufacturer's certificate of conformity. Measurement records can be added on request. If the customer requires additional verification, Menova can draw up a verification report in addition to the manufacturer's certificate.

There is no manufacturer's certificate for a reconditioned instrument. The instrument is therefore systematically delivered with a verification report drawn up by Menova, guaranteeing its correct operation. Measurement records can be supplied on request. 

A manufacturer's technical data sheet is also provided, so you have all the information you need about the specifications and use of the equipment.

Yes, each device is delivered with a verification report produced by Menova, our independent partner laboratory, which is COFRAC accredited (no. 2-6760) and complies with ISO 17025 standards. This guarantees that the checks comply with international metrological quality standards.

Yes, we can prove the traceability of tests by means of physical measurement records drawn up during our inspections. These documents guarantee transparency and enable us to justify the conformity of each device.

Yes, our test and measurement equipment complies with the main safety and quality standards, and can be adapted for use in France and abroad.

• Electrical safety: on request, we can supply equipment complying with IEC 61010-1, which defines safety requirements for electrical measuring and laboratory equipment.
• Quality compliance: our reconditioned equipment is checked, traced and calibrated in accordance with COFRAC ISO 17025 requirements, and is compatible with use in EN9100-certified environments or projects (excluding on-board components).
• Regulatory markings: where required, we check for the presence of CE or UKCA certificates before dispatch. For reconditioned or imported equipment, an assessment is carried out on a case-by-case basis, depending on the applicable directive.
• International use: we take account of local specificities (standards, voltages, connectors) to supply equipment that can be used immediately in any context.

Yes, our equipment can be used in schools and technical training establishments. Where educational use is planned, we check that the instruments comply with the relevant safety standards (e.g. IEC 61010-1). We also offer solutions tailored to technical centres and training centres, with portable or transportable equipment that is robust and easy to integrate into a teaching environment.

Yes, our equipment is regularly used in critical environments such as the military, R&D and technical education. Each piece of equipment is checked, calibrated and delivered with a verification report that complies with ISO 17025 / COFRAC standards, guaranteeing its traceability and reliability.

Axitest reconditioned equipment can therefore be used as a validation, maintenance or training tool, with no break in demanding quality chains.

In the event of a breakdown after purchase, our after-sales service will take charge of the appliance if it is under guarantee. Depending on the diagnosis, we will repair or replace it. Our aim is to quickly restore the availability of your equipment so as to limit any interruption to your activities.

All our reconditioned appliances are covered by a warranty of between 1 month and 12 months, depending on the type and value of the equipment. This guarantee includes after-sales support in the event of a breakdown, to ensure you can use your equipment safely and reliably.

Our teams can help you make the right choice of equipment, whether oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, multimeters or other test and measurement instruments.

Depending on your needs, you can :

• See our practical guides and articles on Axitest blog They provide concrete guidelines for comparing new and reconditioned products, understanding the differences between ranges and preparing an informed purchase.
• Ask for personalised recommendations: whether you're in metrology, R&D, production, teaching or maintenance, we can tell you what equipment is most widely used in your sector and what alternatives are available (reconditioned, rental) to an obsolete model.

The aim of this support is simple: to ensure that the equipment you choose is compatible with your environment, optimises your budget and meets your reliability and lead-time constraints.

Our site does not currently offer an automatic comparison tool. However, our teams can help you directly: if you send us the precise references or technical characteristics you are looking for, we will direct you to the appropriate models and explain the differences between them (performance, options, price, availability).

You can use the quote request form, the contact page or write to contact@axitest.com.
We give priority to human contact, because every need depends on the test bench, the expected compatibility and the continuity of your industrial projects.

Yes, each device comes with all the accessories you need to operate it (cables, probes, manuals, power supply, etc.), depending on the model.

At the same time, Axitest offers customised packages and configurations: we adapt the equipment to suit your test bench, your sector or your technical constraints (e.g. adding software options, complementary accessories or a spare unit).

This flexibility guarantees a turnkey solution in line with your real needs.

All our refurbished equipment comes with a 1-month warranty, which can be extended to 12 months depending on the equipment and your needs. This flexibility allows you to secure your purchases while adapting the cover to the level of criticality of your application.

It is also possible to split the trade-in between these two options (credit note and tree planting).
4. Repairable equipment joins our reconditioning network; equipment that cannot be repaired is sent for responsible dismantling via our partners such as Ateliers Sans Frontières.

This service is free of charge and every stage is tracked to ensure transparency.

Yes, you can have your old equipment valued free of charge. All you need to do is send us the references (and ideally photos and condition of the equipment). We'll then send you a quick estimate, usually within 72 hours.

A device taken over by Axitest undergoes a supervised second life:

• If it can be repaired and recycled, it is reconditioned, inspected and put back on the market with a verification report.
• If it is no longer usable, it is dismantled responsibly, with the recovery of useful components and certified treatment by our partners such as Ateliers Sans Frontières.

In all cases, traceability is ensured and documented.

Yes, you can choose to receive a credit note (to be used for future purchases or rentals), opt for a tree planting through our partnership with Tree-Nation, or combine the two (credit note and tree planting).
