Certificate of state registration (SGR) is a permissive document that confirms that the product fully complies with the requirements of safety and quality of Rospotrebnadzor. The SGR appeared at formation of the Customs Union, which marked the beginning of action of new regulations and simultaneously abolished the sanitary-epidemiological conclusions, which were practiced before. The certificate of state registration is perpetual and valid on the whole territory of the Customs Union. The SGR can be issued for a substance, device, material or device. The certificate of state registration is issued by authorized officers of Rospotrebnadzor.

Our experts will help you quickly obtain the certificate of state registration. You provide the minimum package of documents and we begin to work without prepayment. For 7 years, we have issued 14,000 documents for 3 500 companies from Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

The purpose of state registration was approved by The 621st Commission of the Customs Union. Document on typical schemes of conformity assessment allows you to provide consumers with safe products that are supplied or produced in the territory of the Customs Union. Almost each type of product must be tested to prove whether the product satisfies the quality and safety standards. If the products are successfully tested, the company receives a certificate of state registration.

Important! If you are planning to obtain a Certificate or a Declaration of conformity, you can’t get it without SGR. SGR must be issued for goods which are subject to compulsory state registration. Without it, the production or distribution of products in the territory of the Russian Federation will be illegal.

Registration procedure of the certificate of state registration (SGR)

There are two categories of applicants:

  1. The first category includes manufacturers of products which are produced on the territory of Customs Union.
  2. The second ones are foreign organizations or importers of goods whose production is outside Customs Union.

The organization may apply to the territorial office of Rospotrebnadzor or use the services of accredited certification authorities.

The process of registration of the SGR is a procedure that is consistently divided into several stages:

  1. Formation of package of documents and its submission along with the products sample. It is worth to note that the products must be typical, represent all similar products. Otherwise, you can get a waiver.
  2. Tests by the laboratories. It should be noted that it is suitable only for those institutions that have proper accreditation and included in the special States registry. You will get test reports based on the test results.
  3. Preparation of an expert opinion by an employee of SGR. At this stage documents provided by the applicant and data obtained from the laboratory are taken into consideration.
  4. Decision on what product meets or does not meet the standard.
  5. In the case of a positive decision the product will be registered. It is assigned a unique identification number, which will be a number of the SGR as well.
  6. Preparation of the document (special form in blue color). The document contains the information according to which norms the product was registered. It must indicate the specific category of product. It is indicated on what basis the document was issued (test reports) and by whom it was provided (testing laboratory, specific centre). 
  7. Sending the document directly to the applicant.
