What is Bluetooth BQB Certification?

1. Introduction to BQB Certification

Bluetooth certification is also known as BQB certification. If your product has Bluetooth function and the Bluetooth logo is to be marked on the product appearance, you need to pass BQB certification. All Bluetooth SIG member companies can use the Bluetooth word mark and logo after completing the certification. The Bluetooth word mark and logo can only be used for related products that have passed the Bluetooth qualification certification process. Another major change in the Bluetooth brand is the discontinuation of the Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Smart Ready trademarks. The Bluetooth word mark is also a trademark, but its word mark cannot be changed and cannot be translated into any other language.

However, not all products that support Bluetooth functions are called Bluetooth products. Only after being tested and certified by SIG (Special Interest Group) to meet Bluetooth standards can they be qualified to be put on the market as Bluetooth products. In addition, BLUETOOTH, Bluetooth and other LOGOs and logos are registered trademarks of Bluetooth SIG. Products need to be certified by SIG to be considered as real Bluetooth products, to ensure that the compatibility and related performance of the products meet Bluetooth standards, and to legally use Bluetooth or BLUETOOTH LOGO and related Bluetooth technical specifications.
