近來, 很多使用勁達國際電子藍牙模組的客戶提到 FuTKEE 與RED

基本上, FuTKEE指的就是新的CE無線指令RED,但目前都還是Draft都還在修正,目前還無法執行

預計2016年底或2017年初,才會有比較明確的消息,針對所有的無線產品都會有改動

最新歐洲無線設備指令2014/53/EU

在新無線設備指令（RED）中和舊R＆TTE指令的重大區別有：

RED產品范圍僅包括無線通讯和無線識别設備（如RFID，雷達，移動偵测等）。射频設備不用於通讯或者識别的會在電磁兼容EMC指令和低電壓LVD指令的管控中
有線通訊終端設備（TTE）被移除，因此RED指令僅用於無線產品
無線廣播接收機現已纳入RED指令的範圍（之前涵蓋在電磁兼容EMC指令和低電壓LVD指令中）
指令覆蓋頻率下限已取消（之前R＆TTE的管控起始頻率是9千赫），而上限依然是3000兆赫
公告機構評估意見現已由“型式檢查證書”取代
制造商只有在其品質體系經過公告機構评估過後，才能使用附上公告機構號碼的CE標誌（完全品質保証 – 型式高）
二類設備向各國頻譜機構進行通告的要求不再需要
二類設備的標識（驚嘆號）不再需要，不過在某些國家受限使用的警示依然需要出現在產品包装上
不再需要在用户手册中出現CE標誌，不過手册中必须注明射頻使用的頻段及發射功率
個人評估用的套件不再受管控（即不需要進行RED認證）
新指令要求使用統一的充電器
制造商及入口商的地址及聯絡方式必須出現在設備上，而當設備太小時可以出現在用户手册中

現有的這些改動及未来的其他改動将會影響到客戶在今年和未来幾年的產品認証，所以建議從現在就必須開始将新指令考虑到產品的設計和市場销售中

MDBT40 series module is small, but MDBT42 makes the definition of MDBT40 become bigger!

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

https://bluetooth.service-now.com/ess/knowledge.do?sysparm_document_key=kb_knowledge,148d86d04f9202007270b3318110c780

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

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~
