BTL developed a rigorous process to ensure all products are tested to the highest standard of quality. Several procedures were put in place to provide you with the tools and documentation to get your products ready for successful testing as a base for certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A comprehensive document of the policies for testing products with the BTL Test Package<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To improve interoperability, the BTL Implementation Guidelines document presents options and capabilities as recommended guidelines for all BACnet implementers. It also presents guidelines to avoid mistakes made in the past by new BACnet implementers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BTL Test Package contains testing procedures to be used by manufacturers to pre-test products for BACnet compliance and to be used by Recognized BACnet Test Organizations (RBTOs)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The BTL Test Package name designates the revision of the BACnet standard (or protocol_revision) that the BTL Test Package targets. BTL Testing for lower revision levels can also be tested using the BTL Test Package. Higher revision levels will use the current Test Package but may also require some additional tests from an Interim Tests document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BTL Test Package 23.3-v2<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fix Addenda for Test Package 23.3-v2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Interim Tests 23.3-v1<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n BTL Clarification Request<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Addenda BTL Test Package 23.3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Addenda Test Package 23.1<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Published 14-February-2024.

The table is divided into sections by functionality. RBTOs use the BTL Checklist to determine an estimate for BTL Testing time and cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n BTL Manual Testing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The BTL Manual Testing<\/em><\/strong> document describes how to manually apply the BTL tests for situations where scripting and other automated procedures do not apply or cannot be applied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n BTL Specified Tests:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The BTL Specified Tests<\/em><\/strong> document contains tests defined by the BTL that are not included in ANSI\/ASHRAE Standard 135.1-2019 or are modified versions of tests in 135.1. These tests are used by the BTL testing process and are referenced by the BTL Test Plan document.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n BTL Test Plan:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The BTL Test Plan <\/em><\/strong>describes each functional item that the BTL will test and identifies the tests that will be used for each item. Each test plan item in this document corresponds to a line item in the BTL Checklist. It provides a more detailed description of the functional item, and the tests that the BTL will use to ensure the proper implementation of the functional item.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n BTL Testing Guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The BTL Testing Guide<\/em><\/strong> provides a detailed walk through of the application of the BTL test suite on an IUT. This guide is intended to help in the preparation of a BACnet device for official BTL testing and\/or to improve the in-house testing of BACnet devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n IUT Special Test Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The IUT Special Test Instructions<\/em><\/strong> form is filled out by the applicant to inform the BTL tester how to make the IUT perform specific operations required for testing. The applicant will fill out this form during the test planning phase, or during the pre-test phase with instructions that the BTL will require in order to test the IUT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Add-fix:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The purpose of fix addenda<\/strong> is to present current changes being made to the BTL Test Package. These modifications are the result of change proposals made pursuant to the continuous maintenance procedures and of deliberations within the BTL-WG Committee. Note: Changes identified in fix addenda must be applied to the Test Package for BTL Testing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n For clarification on specific aspects of the BTL Test Package, please submit a BTL Clarification Request form to the BTL Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results of these BTL Clarification Requests are not necessary for consideration when applying the current BTL Test Package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_1-50_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_51-100_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_101-150_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_151-200_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_201-250_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_251-300_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_301-350_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_351-400_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_401-450_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_501-550_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n btl_crr_archive_551-600_2024-03-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For general questions concerning BTL Testing, please contact Emily Hayes, BTL manager<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCurrent BTL Test Package<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
