What is GOST certification?
GOST, the English abbreviation of the Russian All-Soviet National Standard, GOST certification is a compulsory security certification for market access, which is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the markets of Russia and other CIS countries.
Products produced by foreign manufacturers exported to the CIS countries represented by Russia should meet Russia's national quality standards, that is, pass the GOST certification. According to the different countries of entry, there are GOST-R certification (Russia, Russia), GOST-B certification (Belarus, Belarus), GOST-K certification (Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan) and so on.
According to Russian law, if a product is within the scope of compulsory certification, whether it is produced in Russia or imported, it should be certified in accordance with the current safety regulations and receive a Russian national standard certificate (abbreviated GOST certificate). The Russian national standard conformity certificate is divided into delivery batch certificate and batch production certificate. One is the delivery batch certificate, which is only valid for a batch of products for exporters. Since Russia has not approved our laboratories, it cannot be issued in my country. The batch production certificate is very suitable for Chinese enterprises. Once it passes the factory inspection, the product is allowed to be sold in Russia within the three-year validity period.
If the export company does not pass the Russian product certification, it is very inconvenient to obtain the certificate after the goods arrive in Russia. Customs inspection fees and customs warehouse storage fees are required. The cost may exceed the profit of the transaction and it will take a long time. What's more serious is that products without a GOST certificate are not allowed to go on sale at all.
