Qualify your product

The Bluetooth Qualification Process promotes global product interoperability and reinforces the strength of the Bluetooth® brand and ecosystem to the benefit of all Bluetooth SIG members. The Bluetooth Qualification Process helps member companies ensure their products that incorporate Bluetooth technology comply with the Bluetooth Patent & Copyright License Agreement and the Bluetooth Trademark License Agreement (collectively, the Bluetooth License Agreement) and Bluetooth Specifications.  

ALL Bluetooth® Products must be qualified

Additional information to know about the Bluetooth Qualification Process

• Your supplier or other member companies cannot qualify your products on your behalf. You must complete the Bluetooth Qualification Process for your product under your company’s membership account.
• A Product Qualification Fee will be required for the first product submission that includes a specific design. However, subsequent products you submit that include the same design will not be charged a fee. Please see our Schedule of dues and fees and Payment terms for more information. 
• Product Qualification Fees are determined by membership level. You can view all membership level benefits here.

Reselling a product 

• If you are reselling another company’s product (not representing the product as your own), you should ensure that the company has completed the Bluetooth Qualification Process for the product. Please see the Trademark licenses & qualification requirements by product scenario – Qualification article for more information.  
• You can check to see if a product has completed the Bluetooth Qualification Process by referring to the Qualified product database.  

The Bluetooth Qualification Process must be completed before you take products to market 

• All Bluetooth products must complete the Bluetooth Qualification Process on or before the date that you begin to sell or distribute the product.  
• The product name and model number you provide during the Bluetooth Qualification Process must match the product name and model number used when marketing, advertising, distributing, and selling your product. Please see the Product name and model number requirements – Qualification article for more information.   
• Products which appear to have not completed the Bluetooth Qualification Process may be impounded by customs’ authorities and will be subject to Bluetooth SIG enforcement actions.
