GOST R Certificates and Declarations

According to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) law all products manufactured in the EAEU or imported into its territory must pass the assessment of conformity of compliance with the requirements of the EAEU technical regulations.

The GOST R system of certification implies two types of compliance documents: the GOST R Declaration of conformity and the GOST R Certificate of conformity (hereinafter — GOST R Declaration, GOST R Certificate).

Background For GOST-R

    With the intention of protecting the Health & Safety of their people, the Russian Government enacted legislation during 1993, requiring many products to be certified and introduced the GOST-R system of certification.
