The Bluetooth Qualification Program Reference Document (PRD) is the primary reference document for the Bluetooth Qualification Program and defines its requirements, functions, and policies. The PRD is available on the Bluetooth Web site. Passing the Bluetooth Qualification Process demonstrates a certain measure of compliance and interoperability, but because products are not tested for every aspect of this Bluetooth Specification, qualification does not guarantee compliance. Passing the Bluetooth Qualification Process only satisfies one condition of the license grant. The Member has the ultimate responsibility to ensure that the qualified product complies with this Bluetooth Specification and interoperates with other products.

This part of the specification defines some fundamental concepts used in the Bluetooth Qualification Program.
