Bluetooth SIG Approval

What does Bluetooth SIG Certification mean?

In addition to the regulatory tests for Bluetooth products, approval in accordance with the requirements of the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) is crucial for a successful market launch. Here, the Bluetooth SIG defines the standards, issues the licensing and ensures that Bluetooth devices are compatible with each other.

Every device that uses Bluetooth connectivity and is to carry the Bluetooth logo must be tested in accordance with the Bluetooth SIG Qualification Program.

Your Advantages

Market Access for Products with Bluetooth Technology

Bluetooth SIG certification provides numerous benefits to businesses and manufacturers. The certification ensures high interoperability so that your Bluetooth devices can communicate smoothly with other compatible devices. In addition, strict security standards are maintained to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your data. Certification thus helps you gain the trust of your customers, as your products are considered to be particularly reliable. Rely on Bluetooth SIG certification to successfully bring your products to market.

Frequently Asked Questions

All you need to know about Bluetooth SIG

Who is the Bluetooth SIG?

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is a network of organizations dedicated to the advancement and innovation of Bluetooth technology. With the label, manufacturers and retailers confirm that their devices meet the requirements of the Bluetooth SIG. The label tells users that their devices are flawless in terms of data security, quality and efficiency.

Which products must carry the mark?

All end products, subsystems and IoT applications that use Bluetooth technology are allowed to carry the mark after successful certification. These include computer hardware, hands-free systems, headphones, smartphones, sensors for measured values and receivers for signals in control loops, and many more. All certified devices are assigned a declaration ID, which can be found in the SIG directory.

Where are the requirements for the devices defined?

The requirements for the devices are defined in the SIG specifications, which are revised and developed on a regular basis. Launch Studio is available to stakeholder group members for identifying applicable specifications. A test plan can be generated on this user interface.

What is a compliance folder?

The Compliance Folder is a folder that contains all the evidence of checks and tests performed for Bluetooth certification. The documents are formulated in English and can be in paper form or stored electronically as a file. Device safety rules apply to the requirements for the evidence. The basis for the qualification of the products is the evaluation of the compliance folder by independent testing bodies or an appropriately qualified person. The compliance folder must be kept by the responsible supplier for five years and be available on request within 10 working days.
