The Bluetooth Qualification Process is planned to be updated and streamlined on 1 July 2024, as outlined in the latest draft of QPRDv3 (QPRD_PROC_d3r15).
A new tool, Qualification Workspace, is planned to launch on 1 July 2024 for you to qualify products under the new Qualification Program Reference Document (QPRDv3). Qualification Workspace will replace Launch Studio. You can learn more about the updated process and Qualification Workspace here.
We highly recommend completing the Bluetooth Qualification Process for your product(s) one week in advance to ensure they are qualified before Launch Studio is decommissioned and draft projects are deleted on 28 June 2024.
Options You Have to Address Your Draft Projects by 28 June:
Submit your current drafts for Qualification:
- Log into Launch Studio
- Click the Draft Projects tab in the top navigation bar
- Click the Project Name
- Complete the Bluetooth Qualification Process as outlined in PRD 2.3
If you do not anticipate completing the Qualification Process before QPRDv3 takes effect:
- Log into Launch Studio
- Click the Draft Projects tab in the top navigation bar - Select your Draft Project
- Document and save any referenced QDIDs and product details used in the project
- If your project is using the “Qualification Process with Required Testing” path in Launch Studio, export the ICS form by clicking “Project Actions” button and selecting “Export ICS”
- Store all information in your own records
- Delete any Draft Projects you no longer need
If you have drafts you no longer need:
- Log into Launch Studio
- Click the Draft Projects tab in the top navigation bar
- Click Projects Actions on the right side
- Click Delete Project
- Click Delete Project on the pop-up window to confirm deletion
If you do nothing:
You will continue to receive these reminder emails until draft projects are deleted on 28 June 2024
Please note, any project started but not completed before the new QPRD becomes effective will be deleted. Deleting drafts when QPRDv3 goes into effect removes the risk of accidentally working on an old project that would be invalid (this administrative cleanup reduces risk and helps the Bluetooth SIG protect interoperability).
Next Steps
We will continue to send email reminders to member contacts with Draft Projects in Launch Studio as we approach the effective date. Thank you for addressing your draft projects. If you have any questions or concerns, please submit a support request.
We recommend that you bookmark the Bluetooth Qualification Process Updates page for easy access to updates on the upcoming QPRDv3 and the upcoming release of the new qualification tool.
