Gost R and Russian regulation for forniture

gostr
The certification for furniture, as regard to the mandatory Gost standard fortrade in Russia, implies the presence of different types of possible documents. First, it is mandatory, the presence of the declaration of conformity with characteristics of which it has already been written in the post on the GOST R certification for clothing on sale in Russia, in conjunction with this, you can request the certificate GOST R volunteer with the task to provide to these products further proof of quality and safety.
At the moment, we find the difference most marked among the office furniture, for which is available only voluntary Gost R certificate, and all other types of furniture which, in addition to voluntary GOSTR certification, as stated above, shall face the procedures for obtaining the several times mentioned declaration of conformity.
The furniture used in residential and public, will be subjected to the tests necessary to verify the compliance of the requirementsof GOST 16371-93 GOST19917-93 and while the furniture designed to the areas of education (schools, libraries and universities ) must demonstrate compliance to the standard according to the requirements listed in the GOST 22046-89, GOST 19917-93and GOST 16371.
The certificate of conformity GOST R volunteer is available for a maximum period of 3 years. While the declaration of conformity can be requested for a maximum period of 5 years.
Another group of furniture, of smaller entities, however, is that to which belong all products intended for use in structures that require high standards of hygiene and health such as: hospitals, laboratories and food processing areas . In this case, the sanitary certificate (ex-Russian hygienic certificate) of the customs union EurAsEC (Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus) is necessary, which must then be issued to the appropriate test from Rospotrebnadzor. The sanitary certificate has the fortunate characteristic of having no expiration limit as all other certificates in Russia and to be valid throughout the union.
The last small group of furniture is to be noted in the furniture designed specifically for children, for them, the requirements of the certificate of conformity GOST R is not only voluntary but a Gost certificate is required.
