Why certify products?
Certification ensures conformance with the standard and therefore interoperability
Certified devices are more and more required by end users to meet their quality standards
Certification process allows every vendor to benefit from the PROFIBUS experience and knowledge of the test laboratories
Certification can be used for marketing and advertisement, because the product is marked as “Certified” in the “Electronic Product Guide” (EPG) (CD ROM or Internet)
