GOST-R and EAC Certification Processes: What You Need to Know

For companies planning to export to Russia and the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), GOST-R and EAC certificates are of great importance. Both documents are required for the legal sale of products in their respective markets. However, their processes and scopes differ. Here is what you need to know about the GOST-R and EAC certification processes:

What is the GOST-R Certificate?

The GOST-R certificate is a document that certifies compliance with the national quality and safety standards applied in the Russian Federation. This certificate may be mandatory for companies exporting to Russia.

GOST-R Certification Process:

• Determining Applicable Standards: Identify which GOST-R standard applies to the product.
• Preparation of Required Documents: Submit technical documentation, test reports, and production information.
• Testing and Inspections: Conduct product tests in authorized laboratories.
• Issuance of Certificate: If the product passes the tests, the GOST-R certificate is issued.

What is the EAC Certificate?

The EAC (Eurasian Conformity) certificate is a document valid in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan) that proves products comply with the technical regulations in force in these countries.

EAC Certification Process:

• Determine the Applicable Technical Regulation (TR CU)
• Testing and Evaluation: Conduct compliance testing for the product.
• Inspection Process (if required): Manufacturing facilities may need to be audited.
• Issuance of Certificate: After successful completion of tests, the EAC certificate is issued.
