standards promotion Logos and Brands
The promotion of technical and industry standards among manufacturers, consumers, and regulators is the subject of the “Standards Promotion” section. The Wi-Fi Alliance promotes wireless network standards and certifies devices; the Bluetooth SIG manages Bluetooth specifications; and the USB Implementers Forum controls USB-C and Thunderbolt standards. Certification marks (CE, UL, FCC) on products indicate compliance with safety standards. The logos in this section represent organizations whose activities are focused on ensuring that billions of devices from different manufacturers work together and that consumers can connect headphones to any smartphone without compatibility issues.
