BQB Certification Process and Documentation for Bluetooth Keyboards

Bluetooth keyboards BQB certification is a process introduced by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) to ensure that products comply with Bluetooth technology specifications and standards. Below is a detailed introduction to the certification documentation and process:

Certification Documentation

Company Basic Information

SIG Membership Qualification Certificate: You must first register as a member on the Bluetooth SIG official website and provide your membership account information.

Business License: Provide a bilingual translation, including the scope of business and production qualifications.

Authorization and Declaration Documents: This includes a letter of authorization for the product manager, indicating the contact person and their authority regarding BQB certification; a compliance declaration letter stating that the product complies with Bluetooth technology specifications and does not infringe on third-party intellectual property rights.

Product Technical Documentation

Basic Product Information: This should cover the product model, name, and manual, which must specify Bluetooth features such as supported Bluetooth versions, transmission distance, power consumption, etc.; also provide product appearance photos, including front, side, and the location of the Bluetooth logo, clearly showing the usage of the Logo .

Hardware and RF Design Documentation: This includes circuit schematics, marking the positions of key components such as the Bluetooth module, antenna, and crystal oscillator; PCB layout diagrams, focusing on the wiring and shielding design of the Bluetooth RF section; a BOM (Bill of Materials) that clearly specifies the Bluetooth chip model, antenna model, and supplier information; antenna parameter tables, including gain, VSWR, frequency range, etc., which must be consistent with actual test data.

Software and Protocol Information: This includes the version description of the Bluetooth protocol stack, such as those based on CSR, Dialog , etc.; a list of supported Bluetooth Profiles and their functional descriptions, with a focus on the implementation of the HID protocol, including key data transmission, connection management, etc.; firmware version and update mechanism description, and if OTA upgrades are supported, the upgrade process and security measures must be described.

Testing Related Materials

Test Samples: Provide a fully functional test prototype, usually 3-5 units, which must be consistent with the mass production version; if using a certified Bluetooth module, provide the module’s QDID and authorization proof from the module supplier.

Pre-testing and Reports: A formal letter of entrustment for laboratory testing, which is a document authorizing a SIG-approved laboratory to conduct tests; a pre-test report, if available, including RF performance, protocol compliance, and HID Profile compatibility self-test results, which can help identify issues in advance.

Other Supplementary Materials

Product Packaging Design Draft: Must indicate the position and size of the Bluetooth Logo , ensuring compliance with SIG specifications.

Wireless Certification Report: If the product involves wireless regulations, such as FCC or CE, a corresponding wireless certification report must be provided to prove that RF parameters comply with local regulations.

Security Related Descriptions: Such as encryption methods during Bluetooth pairing and encryption mechanisms for key data transmission, which must comply with the security requirements in the Bluetooth core specifications.

Certification Process

Register as a SIG Member: The applying company must register as a member on the Bluetooth SIG official website and choose the appropriate membership type based on company size and business needs.

Submit Certification Application: Member companies submit a detailed certification application on the SIG website, including basic product information, technical specifications, usage instructions, etc., and pay the corresponding fees as required.

Select Certification Laboratory: Choose a SIG-approved certification laboratory for testing based on needs; the laboratory should have the necessary testing qualifications and capabilities.

Conduct Certification Testing: The testing laboratory conducts multiple tests on the product according to SIG requirements, including RF testing, protocol stack testing, interoperability testing, security testing, etc., to ensure that the product meets Bluetooth technology standards.

Review and Certification: After the testing laboratory completes the tests, it submits the test report to SIG for review. After SIG approval, a BQB certification certificate will be issued, allowing the product to use the BQB certification mark on packaging, promotional materials, etc.
