Quoted from Wordpress: https://raytacblog.wordpress.com/

According to SIG's regulation, every brand needs to have unique Declaration ID (also called as DID) for individual product.

Customer frequently pop up and ask 2 questions about Co-Brand & White Labeling

Here, we quoted SIG formal reply as below

https://bluetooth.service-now.com/ess/knowledge.do?sysparm_document_key=kb_knowledge,f46f0ad04f9202007270b3318110c755

1. What needs to happen when a company co-brands with another company?

Company A is selling a product that is co-branded with Company B's brand.  Do both companies need to be a member and create a Declaration?

• Company A and Company B both need to be a member of the Bluetooth SIG
• Only one company has to list the product – however, the company that is listing the product should have their brand more prominent on the packaging

Note: In addition, the Bluetooth footnote must be on the product packaging and must show that both companies are licensed to use the Bluetooth trademarks.

2. What needs for white labeling products?

White labeling is the practice of rebranding another product with your own brand.

For example, Company A manufactures or supplies Bluetooth products, and is marketing and selling these products to different companies (e.g. Company B, C, D). Company A can apply the different company's brands on the products, or the OEM can apply their own brand on the products after purchasing. What does either company need to do?

Company A, B, C, D all have to be members of the Bluetooth SIG

Company A, B, C, D all have to list the product once for their own company/brand name

Kind Reminding~Do you get DID (Declaration ID) for your products?

Quoted from Wordpress: https://raytacblog.wordpress.com/

Recently, many of our customers got in trouble in Bluetooth Trade Mark & Brand issues. The discrepancy of having the products legally Bluetooth Mark listed or lack of the Bluetooth Mark on products may result in lawsuit or bar of trading in the board between countries or markets due to the violation of Trade Mark & Brand Policy by SIG (the Bluetooth Organization)

According to the regulation activated in 2014/2/1, every brand needs to have unique Declaration ID (known as DID) for every individual product. Product is no longer can be free EPL (End Product Listing) listed under other company's QDID. Moreover, SIG recently launched the website for easy reporting the violation makes the report become a fashion.

Cost to purchased Declaration ID is heavy. (US$8,000 for Adapter Member and US$4,000 for Associate Member)

BQB testing cost, says around US$7,000, makes this even much harder and let most customers curb the decision to Bluetooth logo compliance.

For customer who is making products built by Raytac Module, please do contact us for more detail to proceed the application.

Raytac's module not only have most regional RF certificates granted by module policy, but also conduct the policy to re-label our Bluetooth certified module under the name of customer. That is, we will transfer our module under our customer's brand, and we are the only vendor in the market willing to do so. 

The brilliant point is that the Bluetooth re-label procedure comes with 9 profiles included. This will help customers much easier to have the future BT products roadmap without extra compliance costs.

Still feel anxiety for Bluetooth logo issue?

Please do not be hesitated to contact with us for more detail~
