Errata Corrections
The following Errata Corrections are mandatory when claiming compliance to Bluetooth Core Specification 5.0:
- Errata Correction 11838 specifies the changes to be applied to the Core Specifications required to incorporate the various encryption key size-related updates.
- Errata Correction 10734 specifies the changes to be applied to the Core Specifications required to incorporate the various pairing updates.

Qualification Test Documents
Note on the test documents: For each specification, there is a single set of test documents that covers all versions of the specification (rather than a different set of test documents for each version). As a result, the test documents listed for specification version 1.1 will be the same ones as those listed for version 1.2. Test document numbering conventions have been revised to account for this. Rather than referencing a specific specification version (e.g. BB.ICS.5.2.0), they now reference the publication number (e.g. BB.ICS.p22).
