GB 44495-2024 is a mandatory national standard in China, focusing on cybersecurity technical requirements for whole vehicles. As vehicle cybersecurity becomes increasingly important, preparing for certification is crucial for manufacturers aiming to meet compliance standards. This guide provides a breakdown of required documents, the certification process, and the expected timeline for GB 44495 certification.
For GB 44495 certification, companies are required to prepare the following essential documents:
Business License or other legal proof of the applicant's company status.
Vehicle General Assembly Drawings: Detailed diagrams of the vehicle’s main structure.
Electrical Schematics and Wiring Diagrams: Provide a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle’s electrical systems.
List of Critical Components: Highlight key components and raw materials involved in the vehicle.
CSMS Manual: A comprehensive document outlining the company’s cybersecurity policies.
Procedure Files: Supporting documents proving the implementation and operation of the CSMS covering the vehicle's full lifecycle.
Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA): A detailed report evaluating the vehicle’s cybersecurity risks and the necessary mitigation measures.
Conformity Test Reports: Reports issued by an accredited lab verifying compliance with technical clauses like data anti-tampering.
The GB 44495 certification process is comprehensive and typically takes 6 to 12 months. Here's the breakdown:
Conduct a Gap Analysis against the standard.
Establish the CSMS and complete the TARA report.
This stage is the foundation of the process and is essential for a successful certification. Start early to avoid delays.
Send vehicle samples to a designated testing institution.
The core tests include External Connection Security, Communication Security, Software Update Security, and Data Security.
After testing, the testing institution will issue reports.
The certification body will make a decision based on the reports and documents submitted.
According to CNCA rules, certification decisions should be made within 90 days of application acceptance.
The maximum validity of the certificate is 3 years.
The certification body conducts annual surveillance audits, with the first audit occurring within 12 months of certification issuance.
GB 44495-2024 takes effect January 1, 2026. Vehicles without certification will not gain market access after this date.
Applications must be submitted to CNCA-designated certification bodies. Ensure the body is accredited for handling GB 44495 certification.
Preparing the required documents, establishing the CSMS, and completing the necessary tests may take more time than anticipated. Start early to allow room for any unforeseen delays.
GB 44495-2024 often ties in with other standards such as GB 44496-2024 ("General Technical Requirements for Vehicle Software Upgrades").
Consider coordinated preparation for these standards to streamline the process and ensure compliance.
