Our approach to Bluetooth® qualification

To acquire the right to embed the Bluetooth wireless technology into the designed product and/or to use the Bluetooth® wireless technology trademark, your products must be qualified (tested, assessed and declared) according to the Bluetooth® Qualification Program (BQP) established by Bluetooth SIG - a global trade association, which oversees the development of the specification and manages the qualification program.

It is important to note that customs officials use the Bluetooth SIG’s Bluetooth Products Database to verify if a product using Bluetooth technology has completed the Bluetooth Qualification Process. If customs officials are unable to locate a product in the database, customs may seize the product. The Bluetooth Products Database is also used by distributors and online retailers. If online retailers or Bluetooth SIG is unable to locate a product in the qualification database that product may be removed from the online retailer. Bluetooth SIG members are a major source of information for this program by reporting violations. If you suspect a product is in violation, you may report that here.

A prerequisite to start a qualification process for a product is to be registered as either Bluetooth SIG Adopter or Associate member. The qualification process flow and necessary steps are determined by the composition of the product under assessment (tested or untested component, subsystem product, end-product).

After receiving the completed TÜV Rheinland Bluetooth® questionnaire, we provide comprehensive services for Bluetooth® qualification including support for the declaration of supported features, test plan generation, testing and uploading test results.
