According to the regulations of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the following Bluetooth devices must apply for BQB certification:
Devices marked with the Bluetooth logo: Any Bluetooth product that displays the Bluetooth logo on its exterior, such as the product casing, display interface, or product manual, must apply for BQB certification. This includes common audio devices like Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth speakers; input devices like Bluetooth keyboards and Bluetooth mice; wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness bands; and IoT devices like Bluetooth sensors and Bluetooth controllers.
Devices using Bluetooth technology patents: Companies wishing to use Bluetooth wireless technology in their products must obtain authorization from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, and the prerequisite for obtaining authorization is passing the BQB certification. For example, a fitness band that connects to a smartphone for data synchronization must undergo BQB certification due to its use of Bluetooth technology patents.
Devices entering specific markets: In many countries and regions around the world, due to considerations for consumer rights protection, market regulation, and technical compatibility, Bluetooth products must pass BQB certification as a prerequisite for entering the local market. For instance, in the European Union market, obtaining BQB certification is an essential step for Bluetooth products to circulate in the EU market.
Non-exempt devices: With very few exceptions, such as devices used internally by companies that do not claim to support Bluetooth functionality or non-commercial developer prototypes, almost all products with integrated Bluetooth functionality need to apply for BQB certification. Even if a product does not intend to advertise its Bluetooth functionality, it is recommended to undergo BQB certification or registration Listing to avoid legal risks.
