Applying for BQB certification for Bluetooth keyboards requires the preparation of documentation, which can be categorized into three main types: corporate basic information, product technical documents, and testing-related materials. The specific checklist is as follows:
1. Corporate Basic Information
SIG Membership Qualification Proof
Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) member account information (registration and annual fee payment required);
Business license (translated into English and Chinese, must include business scope and production qualifications).
Authorization and Declaration Documents
Product manager authorization letter (indicating the contact person responsible for BQB certification matters and their authority);
Compliance declaration letter (stating that the product complies with Bluetooth technical specifications and does not infringe on third-party intellectual property rights).
2. Product Technical Documents
Basic Product Information
Product model, name, and manual (must specify Bluetooth functionality, such as supported Bluetooth versions (e.g., 5.2), transmission distance, power consumption, etc.);
Product appearance photos (front, side, Bluetooth logo position, must clearly show Logo usage).
Hardware and RF Design Materials
Circuit schematic (must indicate the positions of key components such as Bluetooth module, antenna, crystal oscillator, etc.);
PCB layout diagram (focus on the wiring and shielding design of the Bluetooth RF section);
BOM list (material list, must specify Bluetooth chip model, antenna model, and supplier information);
Antenna parameter table (including gain, standing wave ratio (VSWR), frequency range, etc., must be consistent with actual test data).
Software and Protocol Information
Bluetooth protocol stack version description (e.g., based on CSR,Dialog and other solutions);
Supported Bluetooth Profile list and functionality description (the keyboard must specifically describe the implementation of the HID (Human Interface Device) protocol, including key data transmission, connection management, etc.);
Firmware version and update mechanism description (if OTA upgrade is supported, the upgrade process and security measures must be described).
3. Testing-Related Materials
Testing Samples
Functionally complete test prototypes (usually 3-5 units, must be consistent with the mass production version);
If using certified Bluetooth modules, provide the module’s QDID (Bluetooth certification unique identifier) and authorization proof from the module supplier.
Pre-testing and Reports
Laboratory testing entrustment letter (formal document entrusting SIG authorized laboratories to conduct testing);
Pre-testing report (if available, including RF performance, protocol consistency,HID Profile compatibility, etc., self-test results can help identify issues in advance).
4. Other Supplementary Materials
Product packaging design draft (must indicate the position and size of the Bluetooth Logo to ensure compliance with SIG standards);
If the product involves wireless regulations (e.g., FCC,CE), provide the corresponding wireless certification report (proving that RF parameters comply with local regulations);
Safety-related descriptions (e.g., encryption methods during Bluetooth pairing, encryption mechanisms for key data transmission, must comply with security requirements in Bluetooth core specifications).
Key Considerations
All technical documents must be submitted in English to ensure accurate terminology (e.g.,“Bluetooth Keyboard” must be clearly labeled as “Bluetooth Keyboard”);
If using third-party Bluetooth modules (already certified by BQB ), the documentation must clearly indicate the relationship between the module and the finished product, which can simplify some testing processes;
The documentation must ensure authenticity and be consistent with the actual parameters of the test prototypes to avoid failures due to“document and physical discrepancies.”
