Qualification Test Facilities

Qualify your Bluetooth enabled product today

A Bluetooth® Qualification Test Facility (BQTF) is recognized by the Bluetooth SIG as competent to execute qualification test cases identified within the Test Case Reference List (TCRL) as “Category A at or below the Host Controller Interface (HCI) layer.”

If your test plan generated by Launch Studio indicates that a required test is to be performed at the Category A at or below the HCI layer, you are required to provide test results from a Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility for testing services, unless your company is a Bluetooth Recognized Test Facility (BRTF), in which case you may provide test results from your company’s own Bluetooth Recognized Test Facility. Please note that a Bluetooth Recognized Test Facility is not allowed to act as an independent testing facility for other Bluetooth SIG member companies.

It is your responsibility to contract directly with a Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility for testing services.

For more detail about the Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility program, including how your company can become a Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility or a Bluetooth Recognized Test Facility, click the “Learn more about applying for the program” button below for more information.
