Instructions

When operating in Russia, certain products are required to meet stringent technical regulations. Eventually, these regulations will replace the current GOST R system. Then, you may require a Certificate of Conformity or Declaration of Conformity to Technical Regulations in Russia. As an accredited certification body, we are authorized to help ensure the compliance of your products with technical regulations in Russia.

Required Information

• Name of the product.
• Customs Product Code: this code is essential to determine in which commodity group the product belongs. This code will also be printed on the certificate: it is obvious that the code on the GOST Russia certificate must be the same on all documents for that product.
• Brief description of the product: by "brief description" we really mean minimal, such as that you would use in a product brochure. For rare cases in which the information given is not enough, probably because of [the] exceptional complexity of the product or of potential confusion with other similar products, we will ask specifically for the information needed.
• Pictures or drawings of product: this information is often unnecessary, but sometimes it is very useful to understand the exact function of the product and its appearance.

Later on, if you decide to proceed with GOST certification, an ISO certificate of conformity ISO or a CE Marking of your product may be required, but only in a few rare cases.

Information which might help

What is the difference between GOST and GOST R?
There are no differences, they are only two names developed over several years and during the transition process from USSR to Russian Federation. It is however very important to note that when the initials TR appear on a GOST certificate has, these identify it as a Gost issued according to Technical Regulation which is a parallel institution, about which you can read more on this site.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Usually Certificate is necessary for two cases:

• customs office
• Realisation of products at Russian market.

This Certificate is announced as the necessary document for customs at crossing the border and for wholesale stores if tax inspection is taken place. That is why Russian organizations and export-companies cannot work with non-certified products.
