ZigBee Certification for Commercial purposes

[Markiian]

Hi. I am working on a product for industrial automation using nRF52840 and 52833 chips.

As described in the documentation, these SoCs are listed as ZigBee Compliant Platforms when used with the referenced SDK files.

My question here is:

Do I still need to certify the end-product with ZigBee if I use the existing stack from Zigbee 3.0 for nRF Connect SDK?

Hi

I'm afraid Zigbee end product certification needs to be done for every end-product. It is done to make sure that both the application and HW follows the Zigbee certfication, so existing modules will also need to be certified. Check out this page for details on pricing, and the certification process.

Most certification processes of the well-known communication standards are rather pricy and require a certification process. Other standards that are similar to Zigbee are Thread and Bluetooth Mesh.

Best regards,
