The State Registration (Свидетельство о государственной регистрации продукции, abbreviated СГР) is an epidemiological health certificate required for a specific list of products within the framework of the Eurasian Union. It has been introduced as a streamlining measure by the EAC regulations, and is, therefore, one of the three documents that give rise to the EAC marking.
In the past, these products were subject to a GOST Certificate as well as an Epidemiological Certificate. These days, in order to market them throughout the Union, you simply need to acquire the State Registration in any one of the five countries of the Eurasian Union. The first consequence of the introduction of the EAC regulations was, specifically, to remove the need for the Epidemiological Certificate, which was one of the fundamental parts of the GOST regulations.
The most important aspect of the regulatory simplification that the State Registration brought about was the unlimited duration of the Registration. For years, the idea has been to make the Registration equivalent to the EAC certifications by introducing a maximum validity of 5 years, along with the compulsory presence of a Russian applicant, but, for the time being, the company that obtains this certificate can use it without any expiry date.
We would like to highlight three other peculiarities of the State Registration:
– The tests are carried out in ministerial-type laboratories. Although we cannot, by law, offer this service, we look after all the relevant procedures to ensure that the public body processes and carries out the tests as quickly and efficiently as possible.
– It does not involve an inspection of the manufacturer’s premises.
– It does not take into account different certification schemes.
The procedure for obtaining the State Registration is quite drawn out, and involves the delivery of several documents translated into Russian as well as the registering of the product’s mark. The final result is a document with this heading:
👉 Like EAC Declaration of Conformity or EAC Certificate of Conformity, there is an online database of State Registrations that can be easily queried [please let us know if link doesn’t work: it often changes].
