The cost of BQB certification mainly consists of three parts: the Bluetooth Alliance annual membership fee, the product certification DID certificate fee, and testing fees. The annual fee and DID certificate fee information is available from the Bluetooth Alliance website: https://www.bluetooth.com/fee-schedule/

I. Bluetooth Alliance Annual Membership Fee

This fee depends on your chosen membership level and certification type. Based on the Bluetooth Alliance's 2026 fee schedule (generally adjusted annually):

Adopter Members: Free application and registration, no membership fee required.

Contributing Adopter Members:

Small Contributing Adopter Member Companies (Annual revenue less than $100 million): Annual fee $3,500.

Large Contributing Adopter Member Companies (Annual revenue exceeding $100 million): Annual fee $16,500.

Associate Members:

Small Associate Member Companies (Annual Revenue less than US$100 million): Annual Fee US$11,250. Large Associate Member Companies (Annual Revenue exceeding US$100 million): Annual Fee US$52,500.

II. Product Qualification Fees:

Adopter Members: DID Qualification Fee US$12,000.

Contributing Adopter Members: DID Qualification Fee US$12,000. (The first qualification fee each year is discounted by 33%, resulting in a DID Qualification Fee of US$8,000.)

Associate Members: DID Qualification Fee US$6,000. (A 50% discount is offered on all qualification fees.)

III. Testing and Service Fees

These fees vary depending on product complexity and the chosen service provider. Testing fees: Approximately RMB 10,000-14,000 for a single-mode (BLE) system and RMB 20,000-28,000 for a dual-mode (BLE+BR/EDR) system. If the module or finished product solution already has a BQB certificate, OEM customers can list it based on the existing BQB certificate and be exempt from testing fees.
