What is GOST certification
According to the laws of the former Soviet Union, if the goods belong to the scope of compulsory certification, they should pass the certification according to the current safety regulations and receive a Russian national standard certificate of conformity. The standard certificate of conformity is divided into two types: a delivery batch certificate and a batch production certificate. One is a delivery batch certificate, which is only valid for a batch of products for exporters. Since Russia has not recognized our laboratory in China, it cannot be issued in China. 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 for a period of three years. If the export company does not pass product certification and the goods are very inconvenient after the goods arrive in the other country, they have to pay the customs inspection fee and customs warehouse storage fee, which may exceed the profit of the transaction and take a long time. Quasi-marketing. For enterprises, obtaining the certification certificates of the former Soviet Union countries can be directly sold on the market, can be set up in Russia for sales or direct sales, and can also solve the problem of using certificates for a long time. Once the certification is passed, a copy of the certificate will be issued for each batch of products exported within the three-year validity period, which can be used as a valid certificate to ensure export and listing. The third is to use the Russian compulsory certification mark to enhance product value and provide credibility guarantee for enterprises to explore the Russian market.
After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the CIS countries have issued their own гост certification certificates, which basically still use the previous Soviet standards, so the гост standard is also called the Soviet standard.

The significance of GOST certification
The GOST certificate is an indispensable document for customs formalities for exporting goods to Russia and sales in the Russian market. Products in the Russian market without a GOST certificate are not allowed to be marketed at all. Importers attach great importance to obtaining GOST certificates. However, in practice, GOST certification is often handled by exporters.
For Chinese companies, on the one hand, after obtaining the Russian GOST certificate and health certificate, they can set up entrusted sales or direct sales in Russia, and the price will also have a great advantage; second, they can solve the problem of using certificates for a long time. Once the certification is passed, a copy of the certificate will be issued for each batch of products exported within the three-year validity period, which can be used as a valid certificate to ensure exports and sales in the Russian market. Third, the GOST certificate is not only a condition for passing Russian customs, but also helps the company's products to open up sales in the Russian market, enhance product value, and provide credibility guarantee for companies to explore the Russian market.
When many foreign companies introduce their products in the Russian mass media or exhibitions, they often emphasize that these products have passed the necessary certification procedures, because Russian importers have ample choice, and they will naturally give priority to certified products. This will enable them to confirm that the product meets the required safety requirements before signing the contract, and that there will be no problems in customs procedures and sales of goods. Commodities not certified by Russia often become a major obstacle to signing foreign trade contracts.
Products that must pass GOST certification
The current product certification system in Russia is based on the current Labor Guarantee Law and the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Interests. The purpose is to ensure that commodities do not pose a risk to human health and the environment. According to the harm that goods may cause to consumers, the Russian State Standards Committee has determined which goods must pass compulsory certification and which can be certified voluntarily.
There are many types of compulsory certification products, including food, tobacco, cosmetics, perfumes, personal hygiene products, medical devices, medicines, clothing and shoes, household products and household appliances, furniture, toys, audiovisual products, telecommunications products, tools, transportation vehicles , Gasoline and fats, chemicals, machinery products, etc.
A comparison of these products with the structure of China's exports to Russia reveals that most of China's exports to Russia fall within the scope of compulsory certification. Therefore, it is necessary for Chinese exporters to understand the Russian certification system.
According to Russian law, if a product falls within the scope of compulsory certification, whether it is produced in Russia or imported, it should be certified according to the current safety regulations and receive a Russian national standard certificate of conformity (abbreviated GOST certificate). Products without a GOST certificate cannot On the market, for many imported products, even customs cannot pass.
