Field Device Tools gain acceptance
The SAC (Standardization Administration of the People's
Republic of China) has announced the official approval of
the FDT [Field Device Tool] standard as the China National
Standard GB/T 29618, clearing the way for further,
broad deployment of the FDT standard throughout China
in all industrial and governmental control projects.
The FDT standard is already approved as the IEC 62453
standard as well as the ISA/ANSI 102 standard. This latest
approval as the China GB/T 29618 standard now enables
multinational companies to deploy the standard in their
automation platform on a global scope with assurance of
acceptance by all major governing standards bodies.
The FDT standard is freely available for use by any industry
supplier or end user without license or royalty. The
FDT standard is maintained and advanced by the member
companies of the international non-profit FDT Group
based in Jodoigne, Belgium.
