BQB qualification for Bluetooth products includes assessment of RF performance, protocol conformance and profile compatibility. Businesses must complete the relevant Bluetooth SIG process. Qualified products may use the Bluetooth word mark and logos according to the rules.
1. Certification Overview
Bluetooth certification is also known as BQB qualification. Products with Bluetooth functionality that display the Bluetooth mark must complete qualification. All Bluetooth SIG member companies may use the Bluetooth word mark and logos after qualification, but only on products that have completed the qualification process. Another significant brand change is the discontinuation of the Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Smart Ready marks. The Bluetooth word mark is a trademark and must not be altered or translated into another language.
Not every product supporting Bluetooth functions may be marketed as a Bluetooth product. It must first pass testing and qualification by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) to demonstrate compliance with Bluetooth standards. BLUETOOTH and related logos and marks are registered trademarks of Bluetooth SIG. Qualification confirms compatibility and performance against Bluetooth standards and permits lawful use of the marks and relevant Bluetooth specifications.
