Certification of the Customs Union. How to issue and receive a single certificate of compliance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union?

At present, conformity assessment of products is carried out not only on the basis of Russian laws, but also in accordance with the legislation of the Customs Union, which appeared on October 6, 2007. Its participating countries are Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

For certain goods it is now necessary to obtain permits for different systems. Certification of the Customs Union presupposes such a formalization of documents that confirms compliance when obtaining unified certificates or declarations during the transitional period and sanitary standards.

All this will be considered in more detail and we will find out what the correspondence document should be.

Sanitary certification

The introduction of the procedure at the level of the Customs Union in place of the domestic national is carried out in stages. First, the decision was made by the CCC under the number 299, where the goods were listed, which should be subjected to sanitary supervision. The procedure was named "Sanitary certification of the Customs Union".

The bodies authorized to conduct it shall issue a certificate, as well as an expert opinion. These documents are issued in return for those that were earlier in the national states. These papers in Russia can be issued by Rospotrebnadzor on the basis of tests that were conducted in special laboratories. Such a document is valid not only in Russia, but also in Belarus and Kazakhstan. Unlike the previously issued sanitary and epidemiological conclusions, for which a specific period of validity was established, these documents are of an indefinite nature.

Certification for registration of a single compliance document

This procedure is carried out on the basis of the Decision of the CCC under the number 620. It lists the products for which mandatory certification of the Customs Union and registration of its approval document is required.

The procedure is mandatory not only for Russian, Belarusian and Kazakh goods, but also for other imported products. A single certificate here can be issued both for resident companies of the member countries of the Customs Union, and for manufacturers from other countries. At the same time, if a single declaration is filled out, the applicant in this case may be a domestic manufacturer. If we are talking about imported goods, then the application is submitted by company representatives, who are taxpayers on the territory of their member state (that is, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan) to receive the document.

Timeframes and entry into force of regulations

It is clear that when the certification of the Customs Union is carried out, the document is considered valid on the territory of all participating countries. And in the case of obtaining a national document, the range of its action is narrowed to the borders of a specific state.

Moreover, certification within the GOST system has a maximum period of 3 years. While the vehicle is characterized by a longer period, namely 5 years.

During the transitional period before a TR of the TS becomes effective, the applicant is allowed to choose the system that he considers more comfortable for himself. The decision of the CCC under the number 563 approved uniform forms for the documents of compliance of the Customs Union.

Certification Center of the Customs Union

Special bodies conducting the certification procedure must be accredited by the national system. In Russia, the organization should receive a relevant certificate, which indicates the areas of its activities and types of products. It is issued by Rosstandart, which is central to the state system of GOST R.

The same applies to the work of special laboratories, where tests and product samples are directly conducted.

In addition, both the certification bodies of the Customs Union, and specialized laboratories should be listed in the appropriate register. At the same time, the former are the only ones who can issue a certificate or declaration to applicants.

Technical regulations

The document is a normative legal act, where the requirements that are mandatory for execution at certain facilities are established. These include services, work, management and management, buildings and structures, and so on. It is coordinated by the federal law "On Technical Regulation". According to this document, all other acts are now voluntary. Only the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union, which is certified for goods in the first place to achieve safety (namely life and health of people, protection of the environment, animals and plants, energy efficiency and prevention of fraud on the part of the producer) becomes mandatory.

Certification in the execution of Technical Regulations

When the Technical Regulations come into force, a transitional period is envisaged, during which the national regulations gradually give way to the Customs Union TR.

In 2011, more than 50 documents were developed, and in 2012, more than 50 documents were accepted. The first ones included those that concerned issues of perfumery and cosmetic products, light industry, toys, personal protective equipment, children's and teenage products.

Once the TR enters into force, the national requirements for obtaining documents cease to be valid. Instead of them, now there is a mandatory certification of the Customs Union. However, those documents that were issued earlier, and for which the validity period has not expired, continue to be valid until the time specified in them.

Features of the document

A single certificate is issued on a blank with four degrees of protection at a minimum. The reverse side shall be filled in the language of the Member State of the Customs Union where the document is received. The front side must be filled only in Russian. A unique certificate is assigned a unique number in accordance with the codification rules. The code of the country that issues the document must be added to it.

If a lot of information is to be reflected in the certificate (for example, there is an extensive list of codes or the required description), the application is made to the document, which is an integral part of it.

The Declaration, unlike the previous one, does not have a standard form. However, there is a decision of the CCC under the number 563, which indicates all the information that should be reflected in it. The application can also be added to this document. And its registration is carried out in the State Register of TS.

In addition to the documents, there is a special mark of certification of the Customs Union. It meets all the requirements of TR TS. If a compliance document is issued, the manufacturer has the right to label his product using an official sign.

We study the certificate

The document contains fifteen sections. Let's study them.

1. First comes the registration number, which includes the abbreviation of the country where it was issued.
2. Also a system conformity mark is placed.
3. Each certificate has its own individual number.
4. Information on the certification body that is authorized to issue it is entered in and implemented this right.
5. Also, information about the manufacturer of the product or the supplier - to those who are the customer of the document.
6. Information about the manufacturer must be entered in any case.
7. The most detailed information about the product: type, model, brand, acts about it and so on.
8. HS code.
9. From the documents, an act must be included here, in connection with which the procedure is carried out, the ISO certificate, the test reports, the fire safety certificate and others. In addition to the list, copies of relevant acts must be attached separately.
10. In addition, the certificate contains: the shelf life of products, the actions of the document itself, the date of registration, printing, name Leader and expert with their signatures.

Conclusion

Thus, since 2007, that is, from the date when the Customs Union exists, product certification began to be conducted in a slightly different order than it was before. However, the Technical Regulations take effect gradually. Therefore, all interested persons have sufficient opportunities to adapt to the new conditions.
