Bluetooth sig on different versions of device

[m.hendelja]

Hi, we are working on device that will have Bluetooth in it. It uses 3rd party Bluetooth module, that is qualified from manufacturer of module. We are making all CE, FCC and other regional certification process, only thing remaining is SIG.

We are using same BT module on all our versions of device (we have EU ver, NA ver, China ver, Japan ver...) Do we need to Qualify all versions of device, or only one? Because BT module and carrier board are same in all device, they will have different names and labels, and some other components that are not connected in any way with BT module.

Hopefully I made my question clear, and thank you for you help.

You may want to send your question to Bluetooth SIG. It should be best answered from there.

As far as I know, if you don't have modification in the hardware between version, then you don't need to do qualification for each of them, if they are only naming and label differences. And here they mentioned that if you have multiple product that use the same QDID you can use same DID for all of them: www.bluetooth.com/.../declare-your-product
