Introduction

The STM32WB devices are used to design and manufacture applications for Bluetooth

Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee

and

Thread.

Methods to build applications for those standards using ST products are described in dedicated application notes, also available

on www.st.com.

Formal certifications are required to sell the end products in different markets.

This application note presents an overview of the necessary certifications and gives a guidance to get them. The actual

requirements are provided by the certifying bodies.

This application note is valid for STM32WB Series products only.
