Pilot-Qualification
Is your product compliant with the EEBUS standard?
This section provides guidance on how to qualify your device in accordance with the EEBUS standard.
Participation in the pilot qualification process serves as confirmation that your product complies with the validated specifications of the EEBus Initiative e.V.. Furthermore, successful qualification enables your product to be listed in the device list on our website. This process ensures that your device reliably meets both the technical requirements and the compatibility criteria defined by the EEBus Initiative e.V..

Confirmation that the device meets the technical requirements and specifications of the EEBus Initiative.
Pilot-qualified devices are officially listed on this website. This increases visibility to partners, market players and potential customers.
Make use of the free service of the EEBus Initiative e.V. to validate your own implementation.
Pilot-qualified devices are effective marketing tools for demonstrations at industry events and on demo walls at trade fairs.
Early positioning of pilot-qualified devices on the market.
Signalling active commitment to the EEBus initiative and involvement in cooperation projects, pilot applications and cross-industry integration scenarios.
Pilot-Qualification at a glance
Requirements
The pilot qualification is available for all manufacturers. However, due to limited capacity, members of the EEBus Initiative will be given priority. See eebus.org for more information on membership.
For the test execution, it is necessary to provide the appropriate hardware within the Living Lab. This must also have suitable interfaces that enable internal parameters to be read out in accordance with the test specifications.
The pilot-qualification is not a test instance that accompanies development. The responsibility for development and its verification lies entirely with the respective manufacturer. Pilot-qualification can only be sought once an implementation has reached a robust stage of development and internal tests have been successfully completed in accordance with the corresponding test specifications.

Pilot-Qualification Process
The pilot qualification is conducted through a structured process comprising the following stages:
Below you will find a detailed description of the pilot-qualification process.
- Product development (Implementation of the EEBUS Use Case Technical Specifications and, if applicable, Implementation Guidelines)
- Execution of the pilot-qualification in the Living Lab
- Inclusion of the device in the list of pilot-qualified EEBUS devices
Below you will find a detailed description of the pilot-qualification process.
01
Preparation
The pilot-qualification requires comprehensive knowledge of the corresponding Test Specifications as well as a previous review of the implementation based on these specifications. The required documents are available in the download area of eebus.org.
In addition, the signed Terms of Use must be sent by e-mail.

02
Testing Options
The test device, together with the requisite software, shall be provided and will be commissioned for the execution of tests within the Living Lab.
If the device has suitable interfaces for executing the test independently, the procedure may — following prior provision of the necessary hardware — be conducted by our team. After successful completion, you will receive a final test report.
Alternatively, we offer the option of executing the pilot-qualification in collaboration with your developers – either remotely or directly on site in the Living Lab.

Preliminary Coordination Meeting
Open questions and points regarding the pilot-qualification will be clarified together during a coordination meeting. The contact form is available for appointment enquiries.
04
Execution
As part of the pilot-qualification, both compliance with the Use Case requirements in accordance with the defined Test Specifications is verified using a test system and the device behaviour is evaluated under realistic conditions.
The tests are executed by the Living Lab team. If necessary, technical queries are coordinated directly with your development team. Throughout the entire process, we are of course available to answer your questions and provide support.
