12 BLUETOOTH SIG QUALIFICATION
12.1 Overview
The RM186 and RM191 modules are listed on the Bluetooth SIG website as qualified End Products.
Design Name Owner Declaration ID Link to listing on the SIG website
RM186-SM Laird D030952 https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=30952
RM191-SM Laird D030952 https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=30952
It is a mandatory requirement of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) that every product implementing Bluetooth
technology has a Declaration ID. Every Bluetooth design is required to go through the qualification process, even when
referencing a Bluetooth Design that already has its own Declaration ID. The Qualification Process requires each company to
register as a member of the Bluetooth SIG – www.bluetooth.org
The following is a link to the Bluetooth Registration page: https://www.bluetooth.org/login/register/
For each Bluetooth Design it is necessary to purchase a Declaration ID. This can be done before starting the new
qualification, either through invoicing or credit card payment. The fees for the Declaration ID will depend on your
membership status, please refer to the following webpage:
https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/test-qualification/qualification-overview/fees
For a detailed procedure of how to obtain a new Declaration ID for your design, please refer to the following SIG document,
