puck.js - Certification as bluetooth device

[espruino-discuss]

Dear community,

I'd like to know which countries we can officially use puck.js.
Some countries need a certificate to use the Bluetooth device in their countries.
Can we use puck.js. in China, US and Canada?
Is this kind of info written in web site?

Thank you very much.

Well you asked the community but the best one to answer is really the one who sells the device to you. @gfwilliams here or even Adafruit or whoever sells them - table of sellers here http://www.espruino.com/Order#puckjs

AFAIK the normal non-lite Puck.js is based on Raytac MDBT42Q module https://www.raytac.com/product/ins.php?index_id=31 see also photos here http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js#pinout so any certification that Raytac got for the module is valid for PuckJS too. That is also why such easy to use generic modules exist - to avoid the need of another certification. For US the info is here https://fccid.io/SH6MDBT42Q

For the lite version it is much more interesting as this is custom PCB.

That was the hardware. As for Bluetooth software there is also certification/qualification of the Bluetooth stack, Espruino uses standard Nordic SoftDevice and Nordic keeps qualification ids in table here

Espruino uses S132 SoftDevice version 3.x so QDID is 85568

When checking the shop page https://shop.espruino.com/puckjs I don't see certification info there. It could be useful indeed to have something there.

However there is something here http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js#information - it links http://www.espruino.com/files/Puck.js-CE.pdf
And https://www.espruino.com/datasheets/MDBT42Q-E.pdf mentions certifications too.

Take this as a community member answer :-)

Basically as @fanoush says:

• Puck.js 2 - we have a self-signed CE certificate, and the module itself is certified with FCC (USA), CE(EU) TELEC (Japan), SRRC (China), IC (Canada), NCC (Taiwan), and KC (South Korea) (docs linked at https://www.raytac.com/download/index.php?index_id=27)
• Puck.js Lite has been tested and is CE and FCC certified - I don't think the docs are online (yet) but can be provided upon request

... but yes, it'd be good to link to stuff on the shop page - I'll get on that!

Thank you very much for your kind reply and the answer.
I wrote an email to "[email protected]" 1 or 2 weeks ago. But, I haven't received an answer yet. Therefore, I posted here.

Sorry to hear that - Christine (who answers that address) is usually pretty quick to answer any queries, however she is on holiday these last 2 weeks and may have forgotten to forward your email to me.

Hopefully you got your answer anyway!
