GOST-R Certification

About GOST-R Certification

GOST-R is a certification mark confirming that products are made in compliance with Russian safety requirements. Achieving GOST-R certification is a time- and cost-saving way to help clear customs when exporting your product to Russia. It creates new business opportunities, supports sales and profitability, and enhances customer confidence in your products.

IAS provides a simple yet efficient GOST-R certification process to help your organization achieve GOST-R certification in a timely manner.

The following are some of the products that may require GOST-R certification:

  • Electrical and electronic products
  • Food products
  • Medical devices
  • Cosmetics
  • Household chemicals
  • Furniture
  • Machines
  • Consumer packaging materials, and more

Important compliance note for Canadian exporters

Exports from Canada to Russia are subject to extensive Canadian sanctions and export-control measures. Before pursuing certification for the Russian market, Canadian businesses should confirm that their specific products, end-users, and transactions are permitted under current Canadian regulations, including measures administered by Global Affairs Canada under the Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA). IAS provides product-conformity services and does not provide sanctions or export-control advice; please consult qualified counsel on those requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about GOST-R Certification

What is GOST-R certification?

GOST-R is a Russian conformity mark confirming that a product meets Russian safety requirements, used to help clear customs when exporting to Russia.

Is GOST-R the same as the EAC mark?

No. The EAC mark covers products regulated by Eurasian Economic Union technical regulations and is valid across all five EAEU member states. GOST-R applies to products not yet covered by those regulations - so many exporters need EAC rather than GOST-R.

Which products may need GOST-R?

Electrical and electronic products, food, medical devices, cosmetics, household chemicals, furniture, machines, and packaging materials, among others - depending on current regulations.

Can Canadian companies export to Russia?

Exports from Canada to Russia are subject to significant sanctions and export controls. Businesses should verify that their products and transactions are permitted under current Canadian regulations before pursuing certification.

How long does GOST-R certification take?

It varies with the product and the testing required. IAS provides a project plan and timeline once your application is reviewed.

How long is a GOST-R certificate valid?

Validity depends on the certificate type and scheme; IAS will confirm the term applicable to your product.

Do I need product testing?

Most GOST-R certification involves testing against the applicable requirements, carried out under IAS supervision or at a recognised laboratory.

Can IAS help me decide between GOST-R and EAC?

Yes. IAS reviews your product and target market and advises whether you need GOST-R, EAC, or both.
