Effective Date Postponed for BUSPORT-0034, CONNECT-0093, and CONNECT-0096

The effective date for logo program requirements BUSPORT-0034, CONNECT-0093, and CONNECT-0096 has been changed to June 1, 2011.

We have received extensive partner feedback about CONNECT-0093 (USB device is USB IF certified) and BUSPORT-0034 (USB Host Controller is USB IF certified). We are announcing some changes to these requirements to address this feedback.

First, we will postpone the effective date for these two requirements by one year, until June 1, 2011. Second we will remove the requirement that testing be done through USB-IF-authorized independent testing labs. We will update the testing requirement to include tests from the USB-IF. The tests will be based on the USB Command Verifier (USBCV) tests that are currently available on the USB.org site. In the upcoming months we will define how these tests integrate with the Windows Logo Kit (WLK).

We will immediately begin to accept feedback in LogoPoint (https://winqual.microsoft.com/member/logopoint/default.aspx) for this change. After the new rules are drafted, we will accept additional feedback on the implementation of the rules.

In a separate matter, the effective date for CONNECT-0096 (Devices which support Bluetooth must implement the Bluetooth 2.1 requirements) has also been postponed to June 1, 2011.
