Gost R: Updates from Russia
The number of international companies operating in Russia is large and for them all, regardless of their size, the road that led to their debut in Russian market proved to be uphill, full of obstacles and costs that would have probably been avoided.Among these, particular problems may arise from having to procure necessary certificates specific and (Gost r mandatory or voluntary, Rostekhnadzor, fire safety, Gost security anti explosion, sanitaty, or for pharmaceutical companies to register their products) for the type of products that are intended to introduce in the market, so that then passes through customs controls without issues.
The number of Russian and foreign agencies that offer services related certification Gost are endless and obviously not all can guarantee the results they promise. Both in good and in bad faith because, as the certification system in Russia is headed to state authorities is not always easy to carry a procedure for obtaining "Gost certificate" or a "permit Rostekhnadzor" at the end, linearly and without problems.
In addition, the regulation, both of the certificates and the Russian customs, is not a static thing and it changes often, for these reasons, this blog, run by of certification experts, is designed with the task of keeping the international audience interested in , even for a short time, about changes in the laws and customs of the certification of the Russian Federation, news related to the "system Gost" and to present, anonymously, some special cases that occurred in our experience.
Besides this, the opportunity to comment will give you the opportunity to ask questions and ask for suggestions. Although I will point out our forum for the full possibility of confrontation with us and other users.
