Certificate of Conformity (Russia)

There are two types of certificate: one demonstrates conformity to the national standards known as GOST, and the other to a particular technical regulation.

Until the Technical Regulations replace the GOST Standards, the latter continue to play a part in the certification process on the Russian territory.

It should also mentioned proving correspondence to Technical Conditions (TC),[clarification needed] but generally this method is used in voluntary certification.

Such type of certification is typical for the parties of foreign products that are delivered into the Russian territory according invoice or a contract.

Certificate of Conformity to Technical Regulation is generally drawn up in the case when the import is not limited to a one-time delivery of the products.

In such case there is no need in drawing up the testing protocol, but the certificate must include the date and the number of invoice.
