Difference between a BTL Listed product and BACnet International Product in the Product catalog.
The products displayed in the BACnet International product catalog are a mix of BTL tested and non
tested devices. Devices that have the BTL mark to the right of the product are BTL tested devices.
BACnet International and the BTL symbols next to each product are linked to the underlying listing
or PICS document. Currently all products are listed by manufacturer.

notice that each Manufacturer has a separate page listing all devices that have passed BTL testing.

Listings by Device Profile Help
The devices listed in this section are BTL tested devices sorted by device profile. Many
device profiles have not been tested and the pages are empty. This is because the BTL has
not begun testing these types of devices and there are no certifications for any device
of this type.
