You are paying for papers and don't know what they give you anyway. Some days ago i saw the calibration certificate of a new Keysight 3458A and as far as i remember there was absolutely no technical info in it - i mean no measurement results, no info about actual procedures performed.

What you are referring to is the certificate that is delivered from the keysight factory with the shipment of the unit if the customer does not buy any calibration with the unit. Of course the unit still is calibrated, but you do not get the data. Only if you buy one of the many calibration options you will get the measurement results with the unit.

I got measurements with my U1241C about 3 years ago…

I took a quick look at the Keysight used-equipment ad at the top of the page, indicating UK as my country, and saw nothing about this issue, although there was a standard statement about conforming to US export-regulation requirements.

There is different levels of calibration. Yes, cheapest perfomance check without data will get you a certificate that says unit passed  perfomance test, or unit failed perfomance test. Procedure name should be a part of certificate anyway.

If you pay extra $$ you will receive certificate with data.
Mr. Scram:
Considering more than one big brand manufacturer has similar ideas, we might conclude that the response to market pressure by cheaper oriental manufacturers is to reduce service down to a similar nonexistent level for part of their customers. What an odd response. I'm not sure what kind of brilliant market analysis has lead to these decisions but it sure does look like a good way to have your brand's relevance and recognition evaporate very quickly. Believing this would not impact the professional side of things seems rather naive. These are not two discrete and separate worlds.
