How long does the certification process take?

 

Certification timelines vary by product and the support required. GoCertify will provide an estimated timeframe after reviewing your product information and the proposed application scope.
What affects the timeline?
Factors may include:

• The applicable certification route.
• Whether your product documents are complete and suitable.
• Any testing, inspection or additional assessment needed.
• Requests for clarification or corrective action.
• Payment of agreed fees.
• The availability and review times of the organizations involved.

When will I receive an estimate?
Start by sharing your product description, available documents and expected shipment arrival date. After an initial review, we will explain the anticipated stages and any information needed to provide a meaningful estimate.
Can an urgent application be prioritized?
Tell us about your deadline at the beginning. We will assess the available options and explain any constraints. An urgent request does not guarantee faster approval, and required assessment steps cannot simply be skipped.
Does the 24-hour response commitment mean certification takes 24 hours?
No. Our team will contact you within 24 hours of receiving your enquiry. This is our initial response commitment, not a certificate issuance timeframe.
Can I plan shipping around the estimated completion date?
Discuss your shipping plans with us before relying on an estimate. Approval decisions and requests for further evidence can affect completion dates. An estimated timeline is not a guarantee of certification, customs clearance or shipment release.
