Required Documents & All Validity Period Rules for Bluetooth Certification

2026-05-21

Incomplete document preparation is the main reason for delayed Bluetooth certification review. This article classifies all required application materials and sorts out all easily ignored validity period regulations in the certification system.

Enterprise Qualification Documents

Valid business license, enterprise English address information and legal person relevant certification materials are required for SIG account registration, all kept effective within the official validity period. Enterprise basic information needs unified English version filling to adapt to the full English official operation system.

  Product Core Technical Documents

·Final-version product schematic diagrams and overall structural block diagrams;

·Complete electronic version product user manuals consistent with actual product functions;

·ICS official function declaration form filled in English, accurately declaring all supported Bluetooth protocols and functional profiles;

·Clear mass-production version product front and back physical photos.

  Official Test Reports Issued by Labs

Including Bluetooth RF performance test reports, protocol consistency test reports and audio function special test reports (for audio products). When adopting listing paths, valid certification document numbers of referenced existing designs need to be attached.

  Test Report Validity Rule

There is no unified fixed expiration date for test reports; the core influencing factors are the updated version of official TCRL test case list and whether product hardware and software versions are modified. New mandatory test items added due to version updates require supplementary sample testing.

  All Key Validity Period Regulations

·RN Payment Receipt: Ordinary members valid for 6 months, senior members valid for 12 months, overdue and non-refundable;

·DN Official Certification Number: Permanently effective after canceling triennial review, invalid for products with core Bluetooth function modifications without filing;

·Referenced Design DN Status: Only Active valid-state certification numbers support listing quotation; revoked and inactive numbers cannot be used;

·Member Qualification Validity: Senior members need regular annual fee payment to maintain system operation authority; ordinary members have permanent valid qualification with zero annual fee.

Unified sorting and regular inspection of all documents and qualification validity can effectively avoid certification progress stagnation caused by expired materials.
