Hello,
I need a bit of help understanding the Bluetooth qualification requirements as described here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/protocols/bt/bt_qualification/index.html
It says no testing is required if we implement "APIs as instructed in the corresponding nRF Connect SDK documentation". Let's say I use the GATT and GAP profiles, defining my own characteristics and UUIDs in my software, am I allowed to perform a certification without testing?
We are using a BT40E module from Fanstel, which should come with a pre-certified RF part (if I understand correctly), and the nRF Connect SDK should provide pre-certified software components, if I remember correctly. So, only the top level addressing the characteristics and UUIDs is implemented on our side.
Further, is it allowed to use our Bluetooth implementation at some pilot customer's site for evaluation (industrial environment / no consumer product) before finishing the certification process?
Best regards,
Michael
