CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY

 

Every product sold in Russia today must be certified GOST -R/-TR Standard.

ISO Quality certificates and CE mark are not sufficient to prove the goods and products accordance to the GOST -R Standards. There are some differences between GOSSTANDART norms and ISO standard system. Therefore, the importing company is supposed to produce the Accordance Certificate GOST -R and/or Hygienic Certificate of the Health Ministry of RF instead of available ISO and CE certificates (see also State Registration in EurAsEC).

So Certificates of Conformity and Products Registrations are required from manufacturers and distributors of foreign products for product shipment, customs clearance and distribution in Russia and CIS States. Russian Federation maintains its own system of standards GOST, governed by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Industry and Energy of the Russian Federation. The following countries have adopted GOST Standards in addition to their own, nationally developed standards: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, and Turkmenistan.

There are now two basic kinds of Certificates of Conformity: GOST -R and TR. They range in various validity periods: till three years for GOST -R, and up to five years for TR with the possibility of annual extension.
