Certification of conformity in the Russian Federation is conducted pursuant to Act 184 of 27 December 2002, as amended by the so-called Technical Regulation Act, an amendment thereof dated 9 May 2005. The conditions for certification are determined by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Russian Federation. For products with obligatory certification it is necessary to submit the GOST-R certificate of conformity to the customs authority of the Russian Federation already prior to the entry of the goods in the territory of the Russian Federation. An overview of products determined for obligatory certification within the GOST R system is part of the so-called Nomenclature of Products and Services of Obligatory Certification in the Russian Federation, whose updated version is available at SZU. The system of voluntary certification within the GOST-R system concerns those products which are not determined for obligatory certification by the above-mentioned nomenclature. The GOST-R certificate declares conformity of products with relevant technical rules and standards of the Russian Federation.
