Pre-certified Bluetooth module for mass production

(1/3) > >>

Hi all

I'm working on a design which will be built in significant quantities (>10k) and which requires a Bluetooth interface for low bandwidth control data between the embedded device and a custom app (using Bluetooth SPP). There are many popular choices such as the common HC-05, but these do not seem to appear to be pre-certified.

Has anyone used pre-certified (in the US and EU) modules in their own design which come from a reliable source and are reasonably priced in quantity (<$2 is the target)?


Thanks!

Do you need CE or FCC or RED or MIL-STD or X or Y or Z certification?

angust_uk:
Since it's a consumer device to be sold in the US and EU, FCC and CE certification is needed. Obviously RED is now applicable but I'm not entirely sure whether this affects modular approval rather than the whole device.

Pinkus:
Mmmh- why?
You will have to certify your complete solution anyway. No matter if you are using anything pre-certified or not - it won't help you in any way (but peace of mind... though only temporarily).
So ... avoid the hassle with looking for already pre-certified stuff. Itwill not help you in any way, as at then end, only your final device matters. And believe me, it can fail easily even if build using only pre-certified modules.

voltsandjolts:
Of course, but using pre-certified modules reduces the risk of EMC problems at a later stage.
