Bluetooth BQB Certification

Blue Asia Labs is a Bluetooth SIG member laboratory providing BQB qualification testing and end product listing support for Bluetooth audio, wearables, IoT modules and peripherals.

Capability & Accreditation Scope

Test Object	Reference Standard	Scope & Accreditation
Bluetooth modules and end products	Bluetooth SIG test specifications (RF-PHY, LL, L2CAP, GATT, etc.)	SIG-qualified test facility; reports used directly for BQB listing
Bluetooth 5.x and legacy versions	Version-specific test cases	End products and modules both covered
Pre-test and debugging	SIG test plan	Issue localization before formal qualification

What is Bluetooth BQB Certification?

Any product using Bluetooth wireless technology must complete Bluetooth SIG qualification (BQB certification) and be listed in the Bluetooth end product list (EPL) before it may be marketed with the Bluetooth trademark.

Testing Scope

Item	Details
RF conformance	TX power, RX sensitivity, frequency accuracy and modulation characteristics per Bluetooth core spec
Protocol conformance	L2CAP, ATT, GATT, SMP and profile-level conformance for adopted profiles
Profile qualification	A2DP, HFP, AVRCP, HID, BLE mesh and other adopted profile testing
Interoperability	Interop testing against reference phones, headsets and reference devices
End product listing	QDID registration, declaration and EPL listing for finished products
Design listing	DLL-based cost-effective listing for module and reference design reuse

Certification Process

Feasibility check — Confirm controller, stack and profile combination, and whether DLL/EPL listing applies.
Sample testing — RF, protocol and profile conformance testing with engineering pre-scan.
QDID & declaration — Test report submitted to Bluetooth SIG; QDID issued upon approval.
EPL listing — End product declared and listed; trademark usage authorized for marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does BQB certification cost?

Cost depends on the number of profiles and whether you use design listing (DLL). Design listing is the most economical path for module-based products. Contact us for a fixed quotation.

How long does BQB certification take?

Typically 4–8 weeks from sample delivery to EPL listing, depending on Bluetooth SIG review queues and retest needs.

Do you support Bluetooth 5.4 and LE Audio?

Yes. Our lab covers Bluetooth 5.x core specifications including LE Audio, Auracast and related profiles.

Can you help fix failures?

Yes. Every failure comes with a root-cause analysis and RF/antenna remediation guidance from our engineers.
