Carry one file per model per market — the certificate, the representative named on it, the standards edition behind it — and raise the renewal while a named person still has time to file.
A certificate nears expiry, and the clock runs from the date the authority issued it, not the day anyone noticed.
02
A UK statement of compliance carries the signature, name and function of the signatory, per Sch. 4(f).
Reason
03
A BIS CRS certificate runs late in India, and past the 90-day mark the renewal becomes a fresh application instead.
04
A UAE dealer registration and a TDRA type approval run separate clocks, and the dealer one gates the submission.
05
A Saudi CST term is read from test-house guidance, and those sources give twelve months and two years both.
Decide
06
A module is swapped, and every market that granted on the old configuration goes back in front of a named person.
07
A representative named on a certificate leaves, and an approval held in another name is suddenly nobody's approval.
Out
08
A record is kept whole — the certificate, the mandate behind it, the renewal filed and the person who signed it.
09
Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.
→Product statement
The agent assembles the file and runs the clocks; a named regulatory affairs person, or the in-country representative, signs and files, and the manufacturer answers for the market.

✓Build one file per model per market from your own certificate records.
✓Run each expiry clock from the date on the certificate.
✓Flag the module or BOM change the approval never assumed.
✓Draft the renewal pack against what the authority asks.
No filing reaches an authority except by a named signatory, inside the boundary.

Approvals that expire
US equipment authorization belongs to our FCC agent, conformity documents to our retail one, vehicles to automotive; these approvals expire in another name.
01Approved path
The certificate has a clock
ANATEL renews a Category I certificate yearly and a Category II every two, on test-house sourcing, and the homologation ID lapses with it.
02Human review
The function, not only the name
SI 2023/1007 brought PSTI into force on 29 April 2024, and the statement is kept for the longer of ten years from issue or the defined support period.
04Build an evidence trail
The certificate, the representative named on it and the renewal filed stay on the record.

Evidence-linked improvement
What a lapsed certificate costs
A cycle is done when the lapsed renewal has become a case the next release must pass. That suite is what the next market opened is measured against.
Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
01Detect
Representative-correction rate rises in one market.
02Diagnose
The market that closed on a renewal filed four days late is read back until one cause remains.
03Improve
Number the change; the markets that drove it are filed under it.
04Verify
Each touched market case is run once more, and one red holds it back.
05Learn
It stays as a standing test, and the renewal rules move with it.
Learn → DetectThe return edge. The next market is measured against a suite one case longer.
