• Overlapping Profiles

– A function is said to “ overlap” with a Bluetooth Profile if the function, for which a Bluetooth profile exists, us implemented in a different way that is not compliant to the respective Bluetooth profile.

– If allowed in Profile list

– In case of Type II products

w w w . t u v . c o m4242

Bluetooth Profile RequirementsBluetooth Profile RequirementsFunctionalityFunctionality

• Functionality with no Profiles existence

– Permitted as long as no claim of compliance with the profile for that functionality

• Functionality in addition to existing Profile

– Permitted as long as interoperability is maintained with the other devices implementing the profile as specified

w w w . t u v . c o m4343

Bluetooth Profile RequirementsBluetooth Profile RequirementsType I and Type II productType I and Type II product

• Type I Product

– At least one profile shall implement in a compliant manner

• Type II Product

– Overlapping allowed including protected profiles

– Complaint with the Minimum Profile Requirements as below

• GAP, SDP, SPP (mandates over the air requirements only), Generic Object Exchange, FTP (except file browsing), Object Push (Business Card Exchange only), DUN

Product ChangesProduct ChangesClass 1 ChangesClass 1 Changes

• Class 1– A software or hardware change that does not

affect the Compliant Portion and has no impact on Bluetooth functionality or performance

– Example:PC with a different hard-disk size Product identification Changes

– Necessary documents should be sent to BQB

w w w . t u v . c o m4545

• Class 2– A software or hardware change that can be

shown by inspection or by design analysis to have no negative material impact on Bluetooth functionality or performance

– The BQB may request additional information within 10 days to determine if any re-testing is required

– Example:Product bug fixes in the Compliant Portion


w w w . t u v . c o m4646

• Class 3– A software or hardware change that may

impact Bluetooth functionality– Changes to protocol software, active

components (which process the Bluetooth signal) and functionality enhancement
