GOST 33472-2015 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 33472-2015 — "Global navigation satellite system. Satellite navigation equipment to equip wheeled vehicles for M and N categories. General technical requirements". The standard establishes general technical requirements for satellite navigation equipment intended for installation on wheeled vehicles of categories M and N.

Abstract

This standard specifies general technical requirements, constructional and performance characteristics, and references related test methods for GNSS (global navigation satellite system) equipment designed for use in wheeled vehicles (categories M and N). It is intended to support safety and conformity assessment under relevant vehicle safety technical regulations.

Scope

Applies to satellite navigation (GNSS) equipment intended for equipping wheeled vehicles of categories M and N (passenger and goods vehicles). Covers general technical requirements necessary for correct operation, safety, environmental resistance, electromagnetic compatibility, power supply interfaces and basic performance metrics used when assessing equipment for vehicle installation and regulatory conformity. The standard is aligned with the regional vehicle safety technical regulation TR TS 018/2011 and accompanies related functional and test-method standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of GNSS equipment for vehicular use (categories M and N).
• Performance requirements: positioning accuracy, update rate, time-to-first-fix and signal reception characteristics.
• Electrical and power-supply requirements, voltage ranges, surge/protection needs and interface specifications (including vehicle bus interfaces such as CAN references in normative bibliography).
• Environmental and mechanical requirements: climatic, vibration and mechanical strength for vehicle installation.
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety requirements.
• Marking, documentation, instructions for installation and maintenance.
• References to companion test-method standards for functional testing and for electrical/climatic/mechanical tests (standards in the GOST series that govern test procedures).

Typical use and users

Used by GNSS equipment manufacturers, automotive OEMs and upfitters, certification and testing laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, and regulatory/standards professionals who implement or verify compliance with vehicle safety technical regulations. It is also used by procurement, design and integration teams that install navigation equipment in commercial and special-purpose vehicles.

Related standards

Companion and related standards include: GOST 33473 (methods of functional testing for vehicle GNSS equipment), GOST 33474 (test methods for electrical safety, climatic and mechanical requirements), and the regional technical regulation TR TS 018/2011 "On the safety of wheeled vehicles". The standard’s bibliography also references international/industry documents such as ISO 11898 (CAN) where applicable.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 33472-2015 is an interstate/national standard that sets general technical requirements for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) equipment intended for installation on wheeled vehicles of categories M and N.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers general technical and performance requirements, electrical and interface requirements, environmental and mechanical robustness, electromagnetic compatibility and documentation/marking required for GNSS equipment used in vehicles. It is complemented by separate standards that describe functional test methods and detailed test procedures.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of navigation equipment, vehicle OEMs and integrators, testing and certification laboratories, and regulatory bodies verifying compliance with vehicle safety regulations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 33472-2015 has been maintained as an effective standard but a revised edition GOST 33472-2023 was prepared to replace it; official orders indicate the 2023 edition is introduced with an application date of 1 January 2028 (with a provision for early application). Thus GOST 33472-2015 remains in force until formally superseded on the specified replacement date or earlier if the new edition is applied early. For precise legal/applicability status in a specific country or at a given date, consult the national standards body.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of a small series of GNSS-for-vehicles standards that include companion documents on functional testing (GOST 33473) and on test methods for electrical, climatic and mechanical requirements (GOST 33474), which together define requirements and verification methods.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: GNSS, satellite navigation, vehicle equipment, M category, N category, EMC, climatic testing, functional testing, TR TS 018/2011, CAN interface.
