BACnet certification and product testing

BACnet, short for Building Automation and Control networks, is a communication protocol for building automation systems. It standardises transmission between devices in your building for transparent and efficient communication.

Devices in your building such as lights, air conditioners and automated doors, all have different technical languages. BACnet translates these technical languages into one protocol, making communication easier across different devices.

Enforcing a sound BACnet protocol requires testing through a BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL). BTL testing can get you a BACnet certification, which signifies your automated building systems are up-to-date and compliant with regulatory standards.

Implementing a BACnet protocol is vital in building automation. It ensures your products share information effectively with other systems, meet industry standards, and enhance marketability for your business. 

BTL testing makes it easier for personnel managing or building automation systems to maintain seamless integration and operation of various devices in your building’s network. 

More and more public real estate construction projects require regulatory compliance with BACnet standards. This increases the need for automated building systems to secure the BTL Mark, a mark of distinction for product quality and interoperability.

Our BTL testing laboratory is accredited to provide BACnet certification and product testing so you can meet the latest standards. We offer expert guidance to help you understand the BACnet protocols requirements, tailoring our support to ensure integration with your existing systems and compliance with all necessary protocols.

Additionally, we manage costs by providing BTL testing solutions, offering shared access to advanced facilities and customised testing packages, which reduce unnecessary investments and minimise ongoing expenses related to software updates and re-certification.

We also assist with the preparation of comprehensive documentation, including Protocol Implementation Conformance Statements (PICS) and Extended PICS (EPICS) for a smooth submission process. We support you in maintaining your BACnet certification through periodic re-evaluation and guidance, keeping your products compliant with evolving standards.
