GOST-R Certification
The Russian certification duty is comparable with the CE identification or with other international standards. As a result of the differences between European and Russian production and testing standards, the majority of goods that are exported to Russia need to be tested by an independent and accredited expert association for their conformity to Russian standards and requirements. Russian customs is the controlling body in the import of goods that have to be certified. Proof of conformity is issued in the form of a GOST-R certificate (GOST-R=conformity certificate).
GOST certificates in the Russian Federation are a meaningful indication of quality which achieves a none too negligent advertising effect and leads to an increase in sales figures.
Wholesalers and retailers as well as manufacturing companied in the Russian domestic market must show the certificates to clients and public inspectors on request.
The Necessity for a GOST-R Certificate
Not all products have to be certified, although the list of these products is continually updated.
The following goods/product categories have an obligatory permit enforced:
• Food and packaging
• Machines, electronic equipment and plant engineering
• Building materials and raw materials
• Products to do with the oil, gas and chemicals industry
• Medical and cosmetic products
• Textiles
etc.
In accordance with annual export volumes there are 2 basic types of conformity certification:
Delivery Certificate (for one off delivery)
This is for a defined delivery, referring to a certain contract (for instance an invoice), to a certain volume, to a certain purchaser (importer). This certificate is therefore particularly suitable for the occasional delivery of specific goods (equipment, machines etc).
Series Certificate (for regular deliveries)
This certificate warrants unrestricted export activity within a timeframe of up to 3 years and requires inspections/audits of the manufacturer’s production facilities with accredited experts and engineers in the field.
Hygiene Certification
The Hygiene Certificate (HC) is the second most common obligatory certificate and is required for products that have an impact on common welfare and the environment.
The HC confirms conformity with the Russian sanitary, security and hygiene standards, which are governed by the consumer, employee and environmental protection laws.
The HC is issued by ROSPOTREBNADZOR (formerly SANEPIDEMNADZOR), the Russian authorities for consumer protection, health care, hygiene and epidemiology. For this, detailed product descriptions, intended usage and samples need to be submitted to a ROSPOTREBNADZOR accredited laboratory.
This certification is often the requirement needed in obtaining a GOST-R certificate.
For products such as food this certification has even higher value that a GOST-R certificate.
The Necessity for a Hygiene Certificate
Similar to the GOST-R certificate, this document is controlled by the Russian authorities amongst others at the time of customs clearance.
The hygiene certificate is needed for the following products:
• Food, drinks, food additives etc.
• Toys and sport equipment
• Wood products, furniture and packaging
• Equipment for the production of food and cosmetics, as well as materials that come into direct contact with the skin or contain substances that could be inhaled. (Chemicals, colours, cleaning products etc.)
• Industrial machines and facilities (noise, vibrations and electromagnetic radiation)
Hygiene certificates are issued for a period of 5 years and need to be obtained before a GOST-R certificate (if GOST-R is obligatory) can be granted.
Metrological Certificate
