Qualification test facilities

  • Bluetooth SIG

Trade body (Bluetooth SIG, an industry association funded by its member companies, which owns the Auracast trademark; test-facility programme guidance)

Summary

The SIG explains when a product’s qualification test plan requires a recognized test facility and distinguishes outside laboratories from a company’s own facility.

Key findings

  • A Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility is recognized to execute Category A test cases at or below the Host Controller Interface as identified in the Test Case Reference List.
  • When Qualification Workspace requires such a test, results must come from a Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility or the member company’s own Bluetooth Recognized Test Facility.
  • A Bluetooth Recognized Test Facility may not act as an independent testing facility for other SIG member companies.
  • The page lists testing facilities with their authorized testing scope and recognition expiry dates; those entries concern product testing facilities, rather than venue installation checks.

Limits

Undated public programme guidance and a changing directory, read on 13 October 2026. The introductory testing requirements were read; individual facility competence and directory entries were not audited.
