Certification of PROFINET TYPE R cable

Cable is a passive component, and
"Passive components can not be certified." from
https://www.profibus.com/products/product-certification.
But “
PROFINET Cabling and Interconnection Technology” clearly defines that PROFINET Type R cable needs to pass the mechanical durability test.
As a cable manufacturer, if we want to declare that the product is PROFINET TYPE R cable.
What are the details of the necessary procedures and documents ?
And how long does it take to complete these tasks?

Dear PROFINET user, thank you for your question. Please download the „PROFINET Cabling and Interconnection Technology“ guideline (
https://www.profibus.com/download/profi ... technology) from the PI website. Here are all requirements for the cable described. All necessary tests have to be done by the cable manufacturer itself.

Type of Product according to Guideline of
PN-Manufacturer-Declaration_V50_May21 have no Type R cable, but have Type A, Type B and Type C cable.
How do we declare a Type R cable when the type does not exist ?
And
https://www.profibus.com/index.php?eID= ... 1ecd00b129 without any Type R cable is also puzzling.
