All Bluetooth Low Energy products must go through the Bluetooth SIG qualification and declaration process to demonstrate and declare that the products satisfy the requirements of the Bluetooth license agreements and specifications.

This document presents the fundamentals of going through the process of releasing an end product incorporating a TI Bluetooth Low Energy wireless MCU.

In addition to the Bluetooth qualification process, all products must comply with regulatory compliance standards applicable to the regions the products operate in, such as FCC and CE/RED. This document briefly covers some of the more common regulatory compliance standards applicable to Bluetooth Low Energy products.

To understand the distinction between a wireless MCU and an end product is important, especially one that incorporates the wireless MCU along with external circuitry such as an PCB, matching network, antenna, and so forth, which together comprise the end product. Unless otherwise noted, the referenced regulatory and standards body referenced in this guide apply to the end product.
