After SIG revised the listing process, the certification cost to develop a BT4.0 products has been increased.
To select the products built by "BT4.0 Chip on Board" or "BT4.0 Module" will result in really big difference in cost aspect latter on.
In order to help to select the best way to develop a BT4.0 related product, we listed the cost comparison chart as below


Note:
1. Declaration ID is listed based on normal condition US$8,000
 (If applicant has never applied EPL or QDID, and annual sales amount less than USD 1 million, the applicant may apply small or star-up program with Declaration ID cost US$2,500
)
2. Products developed based on Chip on board: New Declaration ID needed since design and feather is changed
3. Products developed based on Chip on board: New FCC and Telec certification needed since the design and feather is changed
4. Products developed based on Module, No need to apply New Declaration ID since BT's design and feather remained no changed. Though, need to add the product in Production List under Declaration with free of charge.
5. 
Products developed based on Module, No need to apply New FCC & Telec since RF's design and feather remained no changed. Only need to add the product list for Telec.
