BACnet® Groups Announce International Testing and Listing Agreement
At the recent International Air Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Expo, the BACnet Manufacturers Association (BMA™) and the BACnet Interest Group Europe (BIG-EU) announced an international testing and listing agreement for BACnet compliant products.
A memorandum of understanding defining common testing tools, submission procedures, test procedures, and product listing policies will be signed. In addition, the two groups have agreed to use the BMA’s BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) mark as the common international symbol for identifying BACnet compliant products in North America and in Europe.
“We are very excited about the unification of testing programs between BMA and BIG-EU,” said Jim Lee, president of the BACnet Manufacturers Association. “This historic agreement on international standardization will break down the final barrier to widespread commercial acceptance of BACnet in the marketplace today.”
