Not allowed to be overlapped
Except where allowed in the Profiles list
And except by Type II products
Suggested Bluetooth Profiles
May be overlapped

39. Bluetooth Profile Requirements Profile list (1)

40. Bluetooth Profile Requirements Profile list (2)

41. Bluetooth Profile Requirements Overlapping
Overlapping Profiles
A function is said to “ overlap” with a Bluetooth Profile if the function, for which a Bluetooth profile exists, us implemented in a different way that is not compliant to the respective Bluetooth profile.
If allowed in Profile list
In case of Type II products

42. Bluetooth Profile Requirements Functionality
Functionality with no Profiles existence
Permitted as long as no claim of compliance with the profile for that functionality
Functionality in addition to existing Profile
Permitted as long as interoperability is maintained with the other devices implementing the profile as specified

43. Bluetooth Profile Requirements Type I and Type II product
Type I Product
At least one profile shall implement in a compliant manner
Type II Product
Overlapping allowed including protected profiles
