BTL Procedure
Here is a summary/checklist to get your device through the BTL certification process:
- Pre-test your device using our BACnet Test Suite
- Contact the 4 labs, (link here) let them know that you are interested, confirm they can test your IUT (Implementation Under Test)
- Confirm they will test to Protocol Revision 26 (or perhaps higher)
- Confirm they will provide an estimate (quote) based on the "BTL Functionality Checklist" that you will fill in
- Find out when they can start testing, and estimate how long will it take
- Confirm Payment terms
- Ask for any other requirements they may have
- Complete the "BTL Functionality Checklist". The original is in the "BTL Test Package-26" which can be downloaded from the BTL website
- Send this to the candidate lab(s) and get a final estimate of the costs
- Contact BTL themselves and let them know your intent to start testing with the selected Lab, and ask them to initiate procedures for eventual registration. Someone, not sure who, I think BTL, will issue a TCxxxxxx number for tracking purposes.
- Ask BTL for additional guidance
- There will be additional fees for the "Certification" and "Listing". (You probably do want to be "Listed" on the BTL website (link) for marketing purposes (this link is well referenced by users). But you are able to proceed with just the certificate if desired).
- Select a Lab, proceed
- BITS can assist you with this process.
