Recently, the board of directors of Bluetooth SIG passed a resolution to increase the relevant fees of all SIG members by about 8.7%, and it is planned to take effect on March 1, 2026. This fee adjustment is mainly used to cope with the increasing service and operating costs and ensure that SIG can continue to provide high-quality resource support and service guarantee for its members.

The validity period of Receipt Number(RN) has changed.
Regular Members（Adopter）: RN purchased will be valid for 6 months from the date of payment, effective September 9, 2025.
Premier（Associate） and Founding Members（Promoter）: RN purchased will be valid for 12 months from the date of payment, effective September 9, 2025.
Coping suggestions
1. Plan the budget in advance: In combination with the double increase of "annual fee and product certification fee", enterprises need to assess the cost impact in advance and make budget arrangements.
2. Reasonably arrange the purchase of RN: carefully plan the purchase quantity and use time of RN in combination with the product certification cycle to reduce the risk of expiration and avoid cost waste.
3. Timely consultation and communication: If you still have questions about the fee rules, the validity period of RN or the implementation details, you can contact a professional certification body for support and answers.
Warm tips
All RN numbers will be automatically invalidated once they expire, and no refunds will be given. ZRLK recommends that relevant corporate members plan the timing and rhythm of RN purchases to avoid resource waste or business inconvenience caused by expiration.
