Misunderstandings widely exist in ERA-GLONASS certification process and cycle; reasonable arrangement can complete the whole process in 2–3 months.

Detailed Certification Steps

1.Technical Document Preparation:Compile system description, drawing, user manual and risk assessment report in Russian; 2–4 weeks with professional agency templates.

2.Sample Preparation & Pre-test:Adopt mass production version IVS terminal; complete pre-test in domestic authorized lab to eliminate performance risks, taking 2–3 weeks.

3.Official Full-item Test:Cover GOST 33468 voice test, positioning, communication, EMC and reliability; conventional cycle 4–6 weeks. Hardware modification will lead to long delay.

4.Report Review & Certificate Issuance:2–4 weeks for official review and certificate release after test passing.

  Overall Cycle Classification

·Fast track:2–3 months (complete documents + report reuse + one-pass testing)

·Normal cycle:3–4 months (minor document revision & partial retest)

·Delayed cycle:Over 4–6 months (document repeated rejection & hardware rectification)

  Cycle Optimization Suggestions

Standardize Russian documents with professional agency; conduct pre-test in advance; select qualified domestic labs; apply test report reuse if with EU eCall qualification; follow EAEU change grading rules to avoid unnecessary full re-test.
