What is PTB Approval?
The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) is the German Metrology Institute, recognised as one of the world’s most esteemed national test laboratories.
Pattern Approval, also known as Type Approval, is a process where a test laboratory, such as PTB, rigorously assesses an instrument against a set of standards to ensure that it meets the manufacturer’s performance claims.
