Bluetooth SIG certification selection---Qualification or Declaration

[s700]

Dear sir,

I use nRF52832 for our product. But I change PCB antenna to chip antenna, modify match circuit. At this conditions, which bluetooth SIG certification process should be selected, Qualification or Declaration?

Thank you.

Hi!

All the information you need can be found on Bluetooth SIG own website.
https://www.bluetooth.com/develop-with-bluetooth/qualification-listing

Qualification without required testing
If your product uses an already qualified chip or design, and
you aren’t making any design changes or you are simply reselling an already qualified product – you do not need to perform additional testing.

Qualification with required testing
If your product uses a new design or your product uses an already-qualified design but you have modified the design, you must test your design and declare it.

Best regards,
Joakim.
