monitors and television receivers)
• Products that generate microwave radiation
( such as, cellular phones, wireless telephones, computer
components, notebooks )
• Products that produce noise and/or vibration(
such as copiers, printers, air conditioners ).
Gost-R certificate is valid for 3 years. Hygienic
certificate is valid for 1 year.
GOST-R logo is required on the product. The identification
code of certification body should be shown (e.g. BZ02,
BE01, A?46) below the logo.
The following documentation is required:
1. A CB-Test Reports with CB certificate

with potential EMI.
3. Additional Documentation
RADIO AND TELECOM
APPROVALS
All telecommunications equipment imported into Russia
must be certified for product safety and compatibility.
Certification has often been referred to as a complicated,
costly and time-consuming process.
The Russian Federation introduced the mandatory certification
of telecommunications equipment in 1992 in response
to growing imports of low quality and incompatible products.
The system was designed to ensure the equipment's interoperability
with Russian interconnected telecommunications networks
(ITN). Certification was also supposed to improve customer
awareness of different product features and help them
make informed purchasing decisions. The existing certification
procedures were developed to meet the various requirements
of current legislation, including the laws on telecommunications,
certification of products and services, consumer rights
protection, competition and restriction of monopoly
activities, licensing, standardization, and measurement
unity.
The telecommunications standards are identified in
the technical specifications for the Russian ITN developed
by the Ministry of Communications (MinCom) and the State
Frequency Committee, as well as in the state and industry
standards (GOSTs and OSTs) of the Russian Federation.
The MinCom certification process typically starts with
a written application of an equipment manufacturer,
reseller, and/or consumer to MinCom requesting a product
certification. The Ministry reviews the application
and assigns the test center. Once the center is assigned,
MinCom is prohibited by law from interfering in the
testing process.
The equipment manufacturer can specify its preferences
and request MinCom to assign the center of its choice
to run the tests, and applicant's preferences are accommodated
in most cases. For Gosstandart certification, the client
is free to choose any accredited test center.
Once the test center has completed all appropriate
product testing procedures, it submits the test data
to MinCom and to the client. It keeps one copy for its
records in case disagreements arise. Test centers are
responsible for completeness of the submitted information
and for impartiality during the process. MinCom reviews
the test data and decides whether a conformity certificate
may be issued. MinCom also deals with certificate extension,
suspension, and reinstatement and maintains a state
registrar of granted certificates.
