Device Shipping Guidelines for 3rd Party Labs
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
This page highlights shipping information for Partners preparing to ship devices
for certification.
Partners shipping devices to Google should reference the
shipping to Google help page.
Overview
Partners are required to ship devices to a certified 3rd Party Lab for official
certification. Some labs don't offer testing of all Fast Pair extensions or
features.
Partners are not required to send devices to Google for every certification
test, and updates only requiring self-test results don't need to be submitted
for 3rd Party Lab certification. Discuss certification exceptions with your SI
or Google contact.
Partners are responsible for coordinating shipping to the 3rd Party
Certification Labs, including all expenses and certification costs.
