Gost R Declaration of Conformity

While most consumer goods have transitioned to the EAC system, specific industrial and construction products still require the national GOST R Declaration.

CSI REGIONAL SYNERGY:
For exporters targeting the wider Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), it is important to note that the GOST R Declaration is specific to Russia. If your business expands to neighboring markets, TechSert provides expert guidance for:
• GOST K: Mandatory certification for the Republic of Kazakhstan.
• GOST UZ: Certification standards for the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Combining these allows for a “One-Stop Solution” for your regional distribution network.

ISSUANCE TIMELINE:
From the moment all technical documentation is finalized, the GOST R Declaration is typically registered within 7 to 20 business days.

ESTIMATED COSTS:
The total cost (including VAT) generally FROM €350

PRICING FACTORS:
• The duration of validity (Batch-based vs. 1-3 years serial production).
• The specific product category under Decree 2425.
• The availability of existing technical dossiers or test reports.

While many products have transitioned to the unified EAC system, several industrial and consumer categories still require a national Russian GOST R Declaration of Conformity. According to the current Government Decree No. 2425, the products subject to this requirement include:

• Household Chemicals and Detergents: This category covers synthetic washing powders, cleaning agents, and various household chemical products.

• Tableware and Cutlery: Most items intended for adults and general household use, such as metal or ceramic tableware, still fall under this national mandate.

• Paints and Varnishes: Specific types of enamels, primers, and drying oils require a declaration to confirm they meet safety standards.

• Batteries and Accumulators: Lead-acid batteries and other types of electrical storage units not regulated by the EAEU (EAC) technical codes remain under the GOST R system.

• Fertilizers: Both mineral and organic fertilizers intended for agricultural or home use must be declared for the Russian market.

• Steel and Wire Products: Items such as steel ropes and specific wire products continue to require national registration.

It is important to remember that a GOST R Declaration must be applied for by a legal entity registered within the Russian Federation, such as an importer or an authorized representative.
