                               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).

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.


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.

                            Metrological Certificate
In order to be able to operate measurement devices in the Russian Federation a certificate is needed which is granted by the accredited testing laboratories of ROSTECHREGULIROVANIE (“Central Agency for technical Regulation und Metrology“). This also involves the measurement devices being included in the state register.

The registration only takes place once, because measurement devices (as a result of an earlier registration process) needn’t be added to the register again. The recording in the state register can occur individually or by type.
In the case of individual registration the certificate includes the exact serial number of the measurement device and the certificate is valid for a maximum of 5 years. Measurement devices waiting to be approved must first undergo an initial obligatory calibration by Russian experts (meteorologists) before start-up and must be accordingly labelled.

Fire Safety Certification
Obligatory certification for these products is necessary due to the strict requirements of the Russian authorities in regard to functional safety, as well as the flammability of materials and their physical reaction in the event of fire. The fire safety certificate proves adherence to Russian safety standards and is issued by accredited laboratories belonging to the “Ministry for Extraordinary Circumstances.”

If the product demands an obligatory fire safety certificate, then this must be applied for before the GOST-R certificate can be obtained.

    RTN Start-Up Permit
Industrial goods that present a certain risk potential are subject in Russia to the supervision of the ROSTECHNADZOR, the “Federal Technical Industrial surveillance Authorities“, that approves the operation of facilities with risk potential.
