 If my product has mesh functionality and needs to pass NLC certification and needs to be tested with a PST tool at a testing agency. 
 Do I need to flash a dedicated firmware (Bluetooth tester) for this? 
 Can the mesh demo of NCS pass</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 14:29:38 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/128117/54l15-ncs3-2-4-nlc-mesh--pst-certification" /><item><title>RE: 54l15-NCS3.2.4-NLC(mesh)-PST-Certification</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/566343?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 14:29:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:91400f1c-1e4e-4bcb-bca5-43efecfaf8e2</guid><dc:creator>Amanda Hsieh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Iiu,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nordic&amp;#39;s Bluetooth Mesh stack in nRF Connect SDK is pre-qualified by Bluetooth SIG, covering Bluetooth Mesh Protocol v1.1, Mesh Model v1.1, Mesh DFU, BLOB Transfer, and NLC Profiles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;According to the &lt;a title="https://qualification.bluetooth.com/listingdetails/323753" href="https://qualification.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/323753" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;listing at Bluetooth SIG&lt;/a&gt; (requires a user account to view), Q380588 covers all NCS 3.2.x releases.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can&amp;nbsp;inherit&amp;nbsp;Nordic&amp;#39;s qualification rather than re-testing everything from scratch, provided you do not modify the qualified stack. The Bluetooth LE qualification process is largely declarative. You can reference Nordic&amp;#39;s Design Number (DN) in your own product listing. See the &lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/protocols/bt/bt_qualification/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Bluetooth Qualification&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NLC mesh samples (e.g., Lightness Controller, Sensor Server/Client, Dimming Control) are provided as functional application samples. They are built on top of the qualified stack. See the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/samples/mesh.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Bluetooth Mesh Samples&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/protocols/bt/bt_mesh/overview/nlc.html"&gt;Bluetooth Networked Lighting Control profiles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
