Certification Center of St. Petersburg - HouseChief - online edition for modern masters

Almost all types of products are subject to safety checks before being released to retail/wholesale. This means that suppliers and manufacturers are required to test the goods, issue permits, and comply with other legal requirements. Assistance in the passage of mandatory and voluntary assessment procedures, as well as other services in this area, provides Certification Authority in St. Petersburg and other cities of the Russian Federation.

What is a mandatory product check?

This is a set of measures during which the object is evaluated according to the specified safety and quality standards. There are different forms of conformity assessment described in the regulations of the Russian Federation and the EAEU. Depending on the type of product, the verification procedure is carried out:

• in the national system of the Russian Federation (the list of controlled commodity items is specified in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2425);
• in the system of technical regulation (lists of regulated products are specified in various technical regulations of the CU/EAEU);
• according to 123-FZ on fire safety requirements (the range of controlled goods is determined by RP 3646-r).

Evaluation activities within the framework of these regulations are implemented through certification/declaration or state registration. The latter form of assessment is also used when checking individual product groups from Section 2 of RKTS No. 299, as well as medical products.

There are other, special ways to confirm compliance for certain product categories. For example, in the course of doing business, it may be necessary to issue a communication certificate, notification from the FSB, and other types of permits.

Sometimes it is difficult to determine on your own which procedures are required for a particular product. Free consultations of specialists of a specialized center will help here.

Voluntary certification

Some commodity groups are not subject to mandatory assessment, since they are not included in the relevant lists under the legislation of the EAEU and the Russian Federation. For such products, entrepreneurs, on their own initiative, draw up:

• voluntary certificate;
• refusal (information) letter;
• test reports on various indicators of quality, safety (for sugar / salt content, the presence of GMOs, etc.);
• expert opinions on compliance with hygienic, sanitary standards;
• certificates for production processes, quality management system.

All existing mandatory and voluntary procedures (documents) will be consulted in detail by the experts of the center.

What is the benefit of cooperation with a certification center in St. Petersburg?

First of all, such a partnership will help avoid fines from regulatory authorities and problems with business.

The specialists of the center will help:

• prepare documents for passing the certification procedure, for the release of goods into circulation or import through customs borders;
• organize tests and other procedures provided for by mandatory or voluntary conformity assessment;

What services does the CA provide?

Conformity assessment is carried out by manufacturers and suppliers (importers) of products, and in some cases, sellers. Permits for goods can be obtained by entrepreneurs and organizations, but not by individuals. To avoid problems and refusal to confirm compliance, you need to:

• draw up a set of mandatory documents, translate them into Russian (for imported assortment);
• prepare a label or packaging with marking (the composition of information may differ for different types of products);
• order tests on product samples in an accredited laboratory (in some cases, a simplified assessment form is used, i.e. based on own evidence).

Assistance in compliance with the mandatory requirements of the law will be provided by the specialists of the center.

Mandatory documents for goods may include not only declarations, certificates, SGRs, registration certificates, test reports, but also:

• technical conditions (if the properties of the goods do not fall under the norms of GOST R standards);
• operational documentation (passports, instructions, manuals, safety justification, etc.);
• shipping documents for the import of imported goods;
• special permits that are needed for conformity assessment, import / export and sale of goods (for example, a safety data sheet for chemicals, etc.).

Additional services may include registration of specifications, preparation of labeling, which should be on all types of goods. To simplify the circulation of products and comply with legal requirements, they order the development and registration of barcodes. If testing for imported assortment is required, then experts help to organize the import of samples through customs.

Support of the conformity assessment procedure

Based on the requirements of the technical regulations of the Customs Union and the regulations of the Russian Federation, the specialists of the St. Petersburg Certification Center will help you go through all the stages during certification, including:

• assessment of production conditions (if required);
• expertise;
• registration of declarations, obtaining permits from authorized bodies and departments.

The exact list of checks is determined by the confirmation scheme. For example, they can be specified in the technical regulation of the Customs Union for the corresponding type of product. The result of the procedure is not only the issuance of permits, but also the entry of data into the register.
