Obtaining BQB certification for Bluetooth speakers involves the following steps:
Prepare certification materials:
Basic information: Provide the company’s name, address, contact person, contact information, and corporate email.
Product information: Specify the model and name of the Bluetooth speaker, and provide detailed specifications, user manuals, and descriptions of the product’s functions, features, and usage methods.
Bluetooth-related information: If the speaker uses a Bluetooth module that has already passed BQB certification, you need to provide the authorization letter from the module supplier and the module’s QDID; if using a Bluetooth chip, you need to provide the relevant components’ QDID. Prepare the circuit schematic, block diagram, PCB layout, and bill of materials (BOM ) for the Bluetooth speaker. If the Bluetooth antenna is a separate component, it is recommended to prepare the Bluetooth antenna specification. Prepare product samples or multiple exterior photos.
Select the certification method:
Finished product certification: If the Bluetooth speaker is a complete product and has not undergone any related Bluetooth certification before, you need to choose finished product certification. This method requires comprehensive testing of the Bluetooth speaker’s RF, protocols, profiles, etc., to ensure compliance with Bluetooth SIG standards and specifications.
Listing certification (QDID listing): If the Bluetooth speaker uses a Bluetooth module that has already been certified by BQB , listing certification can be adopted. You need to obtain authorization from the module supplier and upload the speaker product in a listed format to the BQB website, without the need for retesting the speaker product, but a certain listing fee must be paid.
Submit application and pay fees: Log in to the certification system using a member account registered with Bluetooth SIG , fill out the BQB certification application form, and upload the prepared certification materials and product information. Depending on the chosen certification method and member type, pay the corresponding fees, such as annual fees, application fees, DID fees, etc.
Product testing (if finished product certification is chosen):
Sample testing: Mail the prepared Bluetooth speaker samples to a Bluetooth SIG -recognized testing agency. The testing agency will test the sample’s RF performance, protocol compliance, profile compatibility, etc. The testing time is generally 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the testing situation of the sample.
Testing result feedback: After the testing agency completes the tests, they will provide feedback on the testing results to Bluetooth SIG. If the tests pass, a test report will be received; if not, improvements must be made to the product based on the rectification suggestions provided by the testing agency, followed by retesting.
Obtain certification:Bluetooth SIG will review the submitted application materials and test reports. If approved, the Bluetooth speaker product will be registered on their official website, and a BQB certification certificate will be issued. You can log in to the official website of Bluetooth SIG with your member account to query and download the BQB certification certificate, which will reflect the product’s QDID number, which is the unique identifier for the product that has passed BQB certification.
