BQB certification

1、 Overview of Bluetooth BQB certification

Before learning about Bluetooth BQB certification, we should first learn about the Bluetooth Special Interest Group: Bluetooth SIG. Bluetooth SIG is a company established by eight major wireless communication industry giants, which is specialized in Bluetooth specification development, technology promotion and qualification certification. It was founded in 1998. Bluetooth SIG owns Bluetooth Trademarks to authorize its members to use Bluetooth wireless technology and its registered trademark free of charge, but the corresponding products must pass the Bluetooth qualification certification, that is, the so-called Bluetooth BQB certification, which means that all products with Bluetooth functions must pass the Bluetooth BQB certification, otherwise the product will be regarded as infringement by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. Bluetooth SIG currently has over 31000 member companies.

BQB certification

But not all products that support Bluetooth functionality are called Bluetooth products. Only after passing the SIG (Special Interest Group) testing and certification to meet Bluetooth standards, can they be qualified to enter the market under the name of Bluetooth products. In addition, BLUETOOTH, Bluetooth and other logos and logos are registered trademarks of the Bluetooth SIG organization. Products must be certified by SIG before they can be authorized to use these logos and logos, otherwise it is illegal.

2、 BQB certification application mode

1. QDL (Qualified Procedure) Prototype (Finished Product) Application

2. EPL Listing Type refers to the listing form of Bluetooth BQB certification, such as Bluetooth speaker products. If the Bluetooth module has already passed BQB certification, the Bluetooth speaker product does not need to reapply for BQB certification. As long as the module supplier's authorization is obtained, the product can be uploaded to the BQB website in the form of a listing.

3、 Materials to be prepared for QDL application

1. International certification application form;

2. Block Diagram;

3. Schematic: The block diagram and circuit schematic should correspond, and the block diagram should indicate all crystal oscillators;

4. Operational Description;

5. PCB Layout;

6. Fixed frequency software and debugging methods;

7. Product User Guide/product manual;

8. Bill of Materials (Components)/Component List;

9. Technical Data Sheet of Bluetooth Antenna/Bluetooth Antenna Specification (if designed as a PCB antenna, the antenna gain value can be directly filled in on page 1 of this application form, and the antenna specification may not be provided);

4、 Materials to be prepared for EPL application

1. International Certification Application Form

2. Member account

3. Authorization Letter/NDA (Confidentiality Agreement)_ It will only be used during PL.

4. DoC/SDoC (manufacturer's declaration)_ When listing, the document will be provided for signature

5.1 complete machines

6. After confirming the order, the enterprise needs to purchase a DID number.

Note: A DID number is only for one specification module, and is for one company name; PL listing: The hardware design of the Bluetooth module has been fixed, and as long as the Bluetooth application (profile) is used, it can also be listed without testing.

5、 Application process

BQB application process

Note: When applying for Bluetooth BQB certification, the prerequisite is to apply for a registration number, which is the QDID number.

6、 Use of BQB trademark

Adjusted the background color of the figure mark (logo) from dark blue to bright blue, and adjusted the RGB ratio from [R: 34, G: 96, B: 165] to [R: 0, G: 130, B: 252]
