    ‰ Why certify products?


    9 Certification ensures conformance with the
    standard and therefore interoperability
    9 Certified devices are more and more required by
    end users to meet their quality standards
    9 Certification process allows every vendor to benefit
    from the PROFIBUS experience and knowledge of
    the test laboratories
    9 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)
