2.1.2 Applicable TCRL

The Test Case Reference List (TCRL) is a living document introducing new test cases, removing test cases and categorizing test cases. The TCRL is provided by the Bluetooth SIG [26] and is the only reference for Bluetooth qualification.

All TCRLs have an Available Date and an Active Date. The Available Date represents when the TCRL is first published by the Bluetooth SIG. The Active Date represents the date that the TCRL is mandatory for qualification. A previous TCRL release becomes inactive after the newer TCRL release reaches its Active Date.

Qualified Components QDIDs or DN have an unlimitted validity period. A new TCRL release does NOT modify the validity of a QDID / DN. In other words, a QDID / DN can be referenced even if the TCRL has become inactive. As a result of TCRL changes over time, there may be new test cases introduced for which there is no previously existing test evidence. Assuming the Component is still within the three-year window, members are not responsible for testing new test cases that are introduced and associated with an existing ICS selection or re-executing any test cases impacted by a Test Specification Errata (TSE) introduced in TCRL releases since the original Component's assessment date. Members are always required to ensure their designs are compliant with (and when necessary provide test evidence for new test cases associated with) any Expedited Erratum introduced in TCRL releases since the original Component qualification [27]. Additional test reports and test evidences corresponding to the mandatory errata added between the TCRL used by the QDID and the active TCRL are provided on E2E [24].

Note: The Bluetooth SIG Qualification Workspace enforces Inter-Layer Dependencies (ILDs) of designs used in the Qualification Process. Certain inconsistencies can be addressed by providing a Test Coverage Waiver (TCW) that addresses the inconsistencies. If one or more inconsistencies require the support of an ICS that does not exist in a locked layer, you can use TCW ES-25636.

More details on TCW and additional TCWs that may be applicable are provided by the Bluetooth SIG [28].
