BTL CERTIFICATION
Simplifying System Integration
BACnet is the world’s standard for
building automation solutions because
it simplifi es integration and enables
intellingent buildings. But, it only works
when BACnet products are correctly
implemented. BTL certification is critical
to ensuring correct implementation.
BTL Certifi cation provides customers,
end-users and building owners/operators
with assurance that a product has
successfully undergone industry-standard
testing conducted by recognized,
independent testing organizations.
It also provides users with confi dence
on product quality and interoperability
in a multi-vendor environment, and
can help minimize costs and risks
associated with system integration.
There are over 1300 products in the BTL Listing of Tested Products Database.

For suppliers, BTL testing is a
powerful methodology for finding and
eliminating implementation errors
before a product reaches the market.
Products that have successfully passed
conformance testing are eligible
for a BTL Certifi cation and added
to the BTL Listing. Only BTL Listed
products may use the BTL Mark.
The BTL Mark is a mark of distinction
and has come to represent a high
level of quality and conformance.
It is becoming commonplace for
specifi cations to require a BTL Mark in
order to be eligible to bid on a project.
