Your Path to a certified ISOBUS Product

The first step is simple: get in touch with us. Together, we’ll address the basic questions regarding your product, the planned AEF ISOBUS Conformance Test, and the next steps in the certification process.

In a joint meeting, we will discuss the planned test procedure, the required documentation, and the current status of your software. We will also clarify which ISOBUS functionalities are to be tested and which prerequisites must be met for the test.

Based on the agreed-upon requirements, you will finalize your software and add any necessary diagnostic data or adjustments. The goal is to optimally prepare your product for the AEF ISOBUS Conformance Test.

Once software preparation is complete, the AEF ISOBUS Conformance Test is conducted. The test is performed in accordance with ISO 11783 and covers the relevant hardware and software functions of your product. 

There are three options available for conducting the test: 

  • By mail: You send us your device and we perform the tests in our testing laboratory. 
  • At the DLG Test Center: You bring your system to us in person and, if you wish, observe the testing process on-site. 
  • On-site: Upon request, we conduct the conformity test using our testing equipment directly at your company. 

After a successful test, the results are documented and subsequently stored in the AEF ISOBUS database.

Once testing is complete, the results can be published. Your product will then appear in the database as a certified AEF ISOBUS product and will be visible to manufacturers, dealers, and users. This provides transparency regarding supported functionalities, compatibility, and the interoperability of the products.
