What is the SGR State Registration?

The SGR (State Registration Certificate) is a mandatory sanitary document for products such as food supplements, cosmetics, and household chemicals, proving compliance with EAEU hygienic standards.

How long is an SGR certificate valid?

The EAC State Registration certificate is typically issued with indefinite validity, meaning it does not expire as long as the product specifications and manufacturing process remain the same.

Which authority issues the SGR certificate?

The SGR is issued by Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection) after a successful review of laboratory test reports and technical documentation.

How much does the EAC Sanitary Certificate cost?

The total cost for an SGR starts from €1,500. The final price depends on the laboratory testing protocols required for the specific product category.

SGR – EAC sanitary certificate for the Custom Union

SGR: EAC STATE REGISTRATION (SANITARY CERTIFICATE) – Last update: 25.02.2026

The State Registration Certificate (SGR) is a mandatory document for products that must demonstrate compliance with the sanitary and epidemiological requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Managed by the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing, better known as Rospotrebnadzor, the SGR is the highest tier of sanitary approval. Unlike standard conformity declarations, the SGR serves as a permanent guarantee of hygiene safety for products that come into sensitive contact with humans or the environment. It is important to note that even after obtaining the SGR, further EAC certifications may still be necessary to comply with other applicable safety regulations. TechSert facilitates the entire registration cycle, from laboratory sample analysis to the final entry in the unified EAEU register.

1. MANDATORY PRODUCT CATEGORIES

The requirement for an SGR is determined by the “Single List of Goods Subject to Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.” If your product falls within the second section of this list, customs clearance is impossible without this certificate.

KEY SECTORS REQUIRING SGR:
• FOOD AND BEVERAGES: Specialized nutrition (baby food, dietetic products), mineral water, alcoholic beverages, and biologically active additives (BAA/Supplements).
• COSMETICS AND HYGIENE: Personal care products, oral hygiene devices, and products specifically formulated for children.
• HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS: Cleaning agents, disinfectants, pest control products, and hazardous chemical substances.
• INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS: Materials intended to come into contact with food (packaging, coatings) and specialized plumbing or water treatment equipment.

2. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AND AUTHORITY

The SGR system was established to harmonize the sanitary standards of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. It supersedes older national sanitary-epidemiological conclusions.

TECHNICAL OVERSIGHT:
• ROSPOTREBNADZOR: The central authority responsible for issuing the certificate after a rigorous review of expert opinions and laboratory test reports.
• REGULATORY HIERARCHY: The SGR is often a prerequisite for other certifications. For example, a EAC Declaration for a cosmetic product cannot be registered until the SGR has been successfully obtained.
• UNLIMITED VALIDITY: One of the most significant advantages of the SGR is that it is typically issued without an expiration date (indefinite validity), provided the manufacturing process and technical specifications remain unchanged.

3. LOGISTICS: TIMING, COSTS, AND PROCEDURES

The process for State Registration is technically demanding, requiring the physical shipment of samples to accredited laboratories within the EAEU for deep chemical and toxicological analysis.

ISSUANCE TIMELINE:
The evaluation of technical dossiers and laboratory testing generally requires 2 to 8 weeks. This timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the product’s chemical composition.

INVESTMENT:
The total cost for an SGR starts from €1,500.
The final investment depends on the number of laboratory protocols required (e.g., if a product line contains different scents or chemical variants) and the specific technical regulations involved.

DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED:
Exporters must provide comprehensive Technical Data Sheets, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets), labels in Russian, and evidence of ISO or other quality management systems.
