nRF Connect SDK bluetooth production status

[DevinCallahan]

I'm evaluating if it is possible to build my Bluetooth application using the nRF Connect SDK (v1.3.0) instead of the nRF5 SDK and not be worried about any certification issues.  I've seen comments scattered throughout the forums and the SDK itself about it still being in an "experimental stage" but I haven't found a resource that is more definitive.  

So what is the status?  Is it still experimental?  Is there a timeline on when it may move out of being experimental?

Thank you!

Hi,

You can choose if you want to use nRF5 SDK or nRF connect. From nRF connect documentation "The nRF Connect SDK Bluetooth stack is fully supported by Nordic Semiconductor for nRF52 Series devices"

When it comes to Certification, we have a customer that has already qualified the zephyr host as a subsystem (https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/109287). This can be used as reference when for the host layer when listing your device.

As for Link Layer we are currently in the process of qualifying this. The last estimate I heard was that this should be complete by the end of this month.
