Profibus becomes Chinese standard

January 2002 News

Profibus International recently announced that the China Machinery Industry Federation has published Profibus as a Chinese Professional Standard. The exact designation of the professional standard is JB/T10308.3-2001. This step is the requirement for the release of Profibus as a fieldbus technology for machines and facilities by the Chinese institutions. The publication as a professional standard and the just recently accredited Chinese Test Laboratory (CPTL) in Beijing offer ideal conditions for the commercialisation and sale of Profibus products and services in China. Profibus is presently the first and only fieldbus that has been released as a Chinese Professional Standard. In the rapidly growing Chinese market for automation industry Profibus is experiencing the highest growth rates for automation systems.

With the successful accreditation of the Chinese Profibus Test Laboratory in Beijing, 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 high quality standard of Profibus.
