Profibus has become the first fieldbus to be published as a Chinese Professional Standard, and the Chinese Test Laboratory in Beijing becomes an acredited Profibus test centre
Officially designated JB/T10308.3-2001, Profibus is published by the China Machinery Industry Federation, allowing it to be specified by Chinese institutions for use as a fieldbus technology in machinery and automation.
This fact, together with the news that the Chinese Test Laboratory (CPTL) in Beijing is now an accredited Profibus test centre, means that conditions are ripe for commercialisation and sale of Profibus products and services in the Chinese market.
With the successful accreditation of the Chinese Profibus Test Laboratory in Beijing, China, certification tests for Profibus devices are now offered in eight international test laboratories.
The Chinese Test Laboratory is an important institution to support manufacturers of Profibus products in the Asian market and to ensure the consistent high quality standard of Profibus systems throughout the world.
