Launch StudioQualifying your Bluetooth product
Getting Started Checklist
In order to make available a product that implements Bluetooth® technology and/or uses any of the Bluetooth trademarks (including the word “Bluetooth”), you must become a member of Bluetooth SIG and complete the Bluetooth Qualification Process using Launch Studio. Launch Studio is designed to take the complexity out of compliance. Since not every Bluetooth product needs to be tested, Launch Studio helps you choose the right work flow to meet your needs.
Below is a checklist of items you will need when preparing for your project:
