Bluetooth Module Approval Policy

There are various Bluetooth modules in the market, but how developers should select?
Despite most of the module makers promote the module with FCC certificated or FCC pre test, the products built by this selected module can really comply with module approval policy?

New NFC feature on nRF52 Series: Read/write capable Type 4 Tag NFC library in nRF5 SDK

NFC feature is an interesting function in nRF52 series which can help developers and consumers to extent the device flexibility and accessibility.
Mostly, people knows that the NFC for nRF52 can work for paring work only.
Here Nordic Developer Zone introduced the new features of nRF52 for Type 4 Tag in nRF5 SDK.
Thus, not only used as a standard tag type for storing a web link or a text to launch apps and secure BLE pairing as known as Type 2 Tag. (The library already in nRF5 SDK), but also supports more features which enhance a faster communication and exposing data (known as NFC Type 4 Tag). Thus, nRF52 now can even write data to a tag with an NFC Reader/Writer such as smartphone and used in many secure transactions systems.

Nordic Semiconductor has today released the new nRF52840 multi-protocol SoC with on-chip support for the upcoming Bluetooth 5 specification. In addition to Bluetooth 5 the nRF52840 also introduces on-chip support for the 802.15.4 standard. With Bluetooth 5’s new high throughput and long range modes and 802.15.4, it offers unparalleled development opportunities for connected devices for IoT. These opportunities include advanced single-chip wearables, wearables with payment options and connected home devices.
 
Bluetooth 5 will undergo ratification by the Bluetooth SIG beginning December 6th2016. Upon completion, we will provide Bluetooth 5-ready SoftDevices to support nRF52840 and the nRF52832 (high-throughput mode only).
