Project managers often face unclear certification cycle schedules. The overall time consumption of Bluetooth certification is affected by certification paths, product test pass rate and official review progress. Here is the detailed time division of each link.

Pre-preparation Stage (3-7 Working Days)

·Complete enterprise Bluetooth SIG official account registration and enterprise qualification document submission review;

·Confirm product certification paths with professional institutions to avoid wrong path selection delaying progress;

·Sort out complete product technical drawings, manuals and function declaration documents to finish pre-submission confirmation.

  Core Sample Testing Stage (Core Time-consuming Link)

1.QDL Simplified Listing: Only simple compatibility verification is needed, completed within 1-2 working days; differential testing is required for modified modules with extra time increased.

2.Multi-design Combination Testing: Complete integrated matching performance verification, with the whole testing finished in 1-2 weeks.

3.Full Self-developed Product Testing:

·Single BLE simple products: Complete RF and basic protocol tests within 2-3 weeks;

·Dual-mode audio Bluetooth products: Full-item testing takes 3-5 weeks;

·Unqualified sample rectification and re-testing will add extra 1-4 weeks of cycle.

  Official System Submission & Payment Process

All operations are completed on the new Qualification Workspace system after the old system is fully shut down. After uploading test reports and technical documents, the system automatically generates DID declaration numbers, and applicants obtain RN payment numbers after completing official fee payment.

Note strictly the RN payment receipt validity period to avoid overdue invalidation leading to repeated payment.

  SIG Official Review & DN Number Issuance Stage

After fee confirmation, the application enters BQB official review, with conventional review completed in 1-2 weeks. Applications with complete documents and qualified test data pass the review quickly; incomplete materials will be returned for supplementation extending the cycle.

Official exclusive DN certification numbers are issued within 1-3 working days after review approval, and trademark authorization application can be additionally processed if logo use is needed.

  Full-cycle Time Summary of Three Certification Paths

·Standard unmodified module QDL listing: Total cycle 3-4 weeks;

·Qualified combined design certification: Total cycle 4-6 weeks;

·Self-developed full-test certification: Simple products 4-6 weeks, complex audio smart products 8-10 weeks.

Reserve lab sample scheduling cycle and product rectification buffer time in actual project arrangement to ensure on-time completion of certification before product shipment.
