If you plan your trade with Russia, you should know and understand the Russian requirement of safety. GOST R Certification is a visa for your goods. It is an obligatory certificate to enter the business of Russia. Your products have to pass Russian standards which are different and mostly not match with the European or International standards. 

On July 07, 1999, the Declaration of Conformity stated the products under Russian Federation Government law. Later the Russian Federation in February of 2010 announced which products are under compulsory certification. The products can be voluntarily certified if they require only a declaration. The certificate obtained is a full authentication of compliance for determined regulations.

It compliances productive assistance and guidance to traders all over the certification process for painless entrance into Russian markets. GOST R Certification has bought a vast number of opportunities and opened the gateway of national and international markets to Russia.

Types of GOST R Marking Certification

This Consignment Certificate’s validity for only one consignment specifies a definite type and amount of product. Its use is limited in that the Exporter will need to provide details of the importer in Russia through a contract or an invoice. It is broadly used by those exporting to Russia occasionally.

Multiple Shipment Certificates:

Multiple shipments certificates are for Serial Production and their validity is for a period (12 months to 5 years) depending on the type of product. To verify the conformity of Russian standards before issuing the certificate, an annual inspection is conducted by Certification Body.
