The cost of EU 2017/79 certification varies widely based on product type, technical design, testing requirements, and whether you are pursuing legacy or NG eCall certification. Unlike simple product approvals, eCall certification involves extensive lab testing, document review, and regulatory compliance support.
·Laboratory testing for function, environment, EMC, and communication performance
·Certification and administrative fees from EU notified bodies
·Engineering and pre-testing support to avoid failed retests
Costs increase significantly for NG eCall due to more complex 4G/5G and IMS protocol testing. Manufacturers upgrading from legacy systems may qualify for simplified testing if only communication components are modified, reducing costs by 30–50%.
Hidden costs often include redesign, retesting, and annual certificate maintenance. Testing failures can add 50% or more to the total budget, making pre-certification validation highly cost-effective.
For most automotive suppliers and automakers, EU 2017/79 certification represents a necessary investment to access the European market. Working with an experienced certification partner helps control costs and speed up approval.
