Events like the World Cup have encouraged billions in security spending. Now, development

and huge construction developments like New Moscow are driving the market forward.

But before you start exporting, you need to start certifying.

Russia requires product certification before your goods can reach its buyers.

It can be a bit of a minefield trying to decipher which products need which certificates, restrictions,

International Standards (ISOs)

Why are they implemented?

Standard/Certification in Russia

Maintained and identified by the International Standards Organisation, their standards

are familiar to all business professionals.

ISOs are available on the organisations’ website.

standards.

For the Russian security sector, ISO standards mostly apply

For instance, the below are

standards followed in Russia:

• ISO/IEC 27002:2013 –

Security techniques – Storage security

• ISO/IEC 27006:2015

certification of information security management systems

• –

• ISO/IEC 27033-6:2016Security techniques-Network security – Securing wireless IP network access

For remaining product areas, much of the ISO standardisation has been worked into Russia’s GOST equivalent.

ISO standards remain the overall top standard, but

This is the main standard

Generally, mechanical, chemical and electronic products will require GOST-R certification before they can be sold on the Russian market.

Given the nature of fire safety and security equipment, it’s pretty much guaranteed you will need GOST-R documentation.

There is also the GOST-R VOLUNTARY DECLERTION OF CONFORMITY. This is for products that don’t require certification by law in Russia. However, if a manufacturer

Technical Regulations RUS



Technical Regulations are similar to GOST-R and GOST

nigh-identical. There are some key differences, which will be explained below. For

now, however, it is worth getting your products credited as conforming to GOST and Technical Regulations standardisations.

Technical Regulations are intended as the replacement for GOST across Russia and the Eurasian Customs Union (ECU). Technical Regulations standards began being

implemented into law

There is still overlap between GOST-R standards and Technical Regulations.

Standard/Certification in RussiaTechnical Regulations are offered in three different methods:

Products/manufacturers specified under contract – Products must be sent for testing in this instance.

Certificates must include:

• The date & details

and the number

• The correct name of

Manufacturer

• Date• Certification scheme/body

Serial production

Serial production certificates are only drawn up after prior Technical Regulation certification has been awarded. These are valid between one to three years.

Technical Regulations EAC

What is this standards/certification?




Similar to how GOST standards were adopted by previous Soviet Union member countries, Technical

Regulations EAC covers

To continue the legacy of GOST setting standards across the Soviet Union, this certificate is being implemented to harmonize product and service standardisation across Central Asia. Unlike GOST, however, the EAC regulations only apply to countries that make up the union. In this case, they are:

• Armenia• Belarus• Kazakhstan• Kyrgyzstan• Russia

If you’re looking to use Russia as an export hub to export to these countries, you’ll need to get them certified by at least one-member state. Products certified by one union member are valid in all other participating countries.

As mentioned above, this is a wider standard, applying to four more countries than just Russia. As such, you can get your Technical Regulation

EAC certificates from an Accredited Russian Body. They will then be valid throughout the rest of the EAC.

A detailed list of standards is available on the Eurasian Commission website (Russian language link)

Technical Documentation

What is this standards/certification?



This is neither a standard or a certificate, but rather a collection of documents

required for testing for GOST and other certificates throughout Russia.

Simply put, they give accreditation bodies all the information they need to

ensure products conform to GOST or Technical Regulation standards.

Accreditation services will require the following items:

• User manual• Technical specifications• Technical passport• Test plan

Manual – This contains a technical data of a product, describing its function, characteristics and construction. Information on proper use in accordance with safety standards, maintenance, overhaul, and testing should be included. Disposal advice should also be featured.

Technical specifications – A document breaking down the technical specs of a given product. They cannot be incompatible with Russian and international

standards. In Russia, technical specifications are approved according to the GOST 2114-95 and GOST R 51740-2001 standards.

Technical passport – A technical passport is essentially a document or booklet containing product/manufacturer warranty information. It also includes other elements like essential product features, disposal/recycling info, and technical specifications.

Test plan – A test plan describes how the product in question should be tested, including a description of the object being tested, testing procedures, and the reason for testing the product.

Where is this standard/certification available from?This is something that companies seeking certification must prepare themselves. However, many accreditation bodies offer technical documentation services. If confused, it is worth contacting one and enquire how they can help.

A register of Rosstandart approved accreditation bodies is available on the organisation’s website (Russian language website).
