 I want to use a standard 16bit service and to add some custome characteristics to it, will this create any compliance issues? Is it complying to BLE specifications to a add a costume 128bit characteristic to a standard 16bit service?

&lt;p&gt;You should be fine adding a custom 128-bit characteristic to a BT SIG defined (16-bit) service. &lt;br /&gt;Only thing that you need to consider is to generate the 128 bit UUID in a way that avoids tampling on existing BT ones. &lt;br /&gt;If you need more information, you can read this: &lt;/p&gt;
