Sie sollte nicht als eine zusätzliche Barriere angesehen werden, die die Einführung von Produkten auf den Markt erschwert. Das Dokument wurde zum Schutz des Endverbrauchers vor minderwertigen und gefährlichen Waren entwickelt, deshalb muss das Importunternehmen an der Deklarierung interessiert sein. Die Ausfertigung der Deklarierung über die Übereinstimmung der Zollunion hat einen Zusatznutzen (neben dem sichtbaren Zusatznutzen: dem ruhigen Passieren von Zollgrenzen).

It should not be regarded as an additional barrier, which complicates the import of products onto the market. The document has been developed for the protection of the consumer before inferior quality and dangerous goods, the import company therefore must be interested in it.

A certificate of compliance with GOST R is a document that certifies the quality of products with the elaborated requirements of GOST standards in accordance with the regulation of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 982 by December 1, 2009.
A GOST R certificate is issued after conducting mandatory examinations and tests on a template in the specified form. The issuance of GOST R compliance certificate is required by the customs (in case the product is a subject to certification) as well as for production and distribution in Russia.
Not all product groups must receive the obligatory GOST R compliance certificate. The lists of products subject to certification are legally approved. For example, these are the high-voltage cable, and the high-voltage equipment.
How to get the Russian certificate of conformity GOST R?
A list of documents which are necessary for the issuance of the GOST R certificate may differ depending on the manufacturing country, product group and the scheme of certification. Most often, an applicant uses one of the following schemes:
- The issuance of the ROSTEST certificate for a shipment. The applicant must deliver detailed technical information of importing products, foreign trade contract and a copy of the invoice with indication of the scope of delivery.
- The issuing of the certificate for a serial production according to the foreign trade contract with the foreign partner. The number of the contract is indicated in the certificate. In this case, the GOST R certificate can be used to import unlimited quantities of certified products in the validity period of the contract.
- The issuance of the GOST R certificate for the products manufactured in Russia. The certificate shall be entitled to the production of a specific group of goods with indication of technical norms or of the GOST, according to which the product is manufactured.

The Declaration of compliance with GOST R confirms compliance of diverse products with the regulated norms. Currently declaration and certification procedures have the same legal force in Russia. These are contradictory procedures: if a mandatory declaration of conformity is necessary for a specific group of goods, a certificate for this product group is not necessary.
The Declaration of compliance with GOST R has no fixed form and is printed on a regular A4 page with signatures and stamp of the company. One more distinctive feature of the declaration: it cannot be issued on a foreign manufacturer, a company registered in the Russian Federation has to apply for GOST R.
Die Deklarierung über die Übereinstimmung mit der Ware wird nach Durchführung von Expertisen ausgestellt, die die Übereinstimmung von Produkten mit den erforderlichen Parametern bestätigen. Jede Erklärung hat ihre einmalige Nummer, die in das Register der russischen Akkreditierungsstelle eingetragen werden muss.
Declaration is issued after accomplishment of test reports confirming the compliance of products with the necessary norms. Each declaration has its unique number that must be entered in the register of the Russian Agency of accreditation.
The validity period of the Declaration of conformity is at least 1 year.

Voluntary certification is the procedure called where an applicant (manufacturer or distributor of goods and services in Russia) will have an opportunity to confirm the quality of products according the norms he requests. The voluntary compliance certificate is issued on a specified form. The maximum validity period is up to 3 years.
In contrast to the obligatory certification, which is performed in accordance with the criteria and norms that are set by the technical regulations, voluntary certification is carried out according to the parameters, interesting for the manufacturer or end user. Thus it is useful to receive in addition to the obligatory certificate also the voluntary certificate of compliance.
Benefits of the voluntary certificate
After the introduction of the obligatory certification system, an additional elaboration of a voluntary compliance certificate is a vague idea for most manufacturers, because they do not understand the advantages of this document.
The important advantage of the voluntary GOST R certificate is the increase of the competitiveness of products due to increase of the loyalty of the consumers. Also it allows the company to participate in the tenders and join the self-regulating organizations.
