Certification in Russia

1. The goal of certification

Most of the goods imported to Russia are subject to mandatory certification for conformity to Russian standards, norms and rules. The certificates have to be produced, at least, in the following three cases:

• to Russian customs, when goods are imported into Russia


• to Russian authorities when goods (whole- or retail-sale) are sold on a Russian market


• to Russian authorities when a product comes to use in Russia

Instead of the term "product certification" it is more correct to apply term "assessment of conformity" of the product's characteristics to safety requirements. Variety of the requirements arises from the existence of different sources of danger: general, hygienic and fire requirements, requirements to the medical production and building materials, radiofrequency, electrical and industrial safety requirements, etc. Certificate of conformity is a result of testing and assessment of testing of the product for conformity to the safety requirements, determined by standards, norms, regulations, etc. Assessment of conformity is carried out by experts of certification bodies and other special state bodies.

2. Types of certificates:

• Certificate and declaration of compliance to GOST R, Russian technical regulations and norms of the Custom union (Kazakhstan, Belorussia and Russia)


• Fire safety certificate of compliance to “Technical regulation on fire safety requirements”


• Registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor (Minzdrav)


• Registration certificate of Rospotrebnadzor (Minzdrav)
