Product Qualification Fees and Receipt Numbers

Introduction

The Product Qualification Fee applies to the first Product (as defined in the QPRD) submission from a Member Company marketing and selling such Product under its trademark(s) or brand (Submitting Company) involving a specific Design, whether pre-existing or new. Subsequent submissions from that Submitting Company featuring the same Design do not incur this fee.

Product Qualification Fees are paid through our online purchasing system in Qualification Workspace. Payment can be made via credit card or invoice:

• Credit card: payments are processed instantly.
• Invoice: payments may take 1–2 weeks to process, depending on the time it takes to issue, receive, and process the invoice.

Once payment of the Product Qualification Fee is processed by the Bluetooth SIG, you will be issued a Receipt Number. A Receipt Number is a unique reference number issued as proof of payment of the Product Qualification Fee by a Member to complete the Bluetooth® Qualification Process.

To manage Receipt Numbers, go to the Qualification Workspace homepage and select Pay Product Qualification Fee. From here you can access functions such as transferring Receipt Numbers and paying Product Qualification Fees.

For more details and additional fee and payment terms, see the Bluetooth Payment Terms.

For the current fee amounts, see the Bluetooth SIG Schedule of Dues and Fees.
