GUIDELINES FOR DRAWING UP A DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

Pursuant to the Federal Law «On technical regulating», any undertaking (a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur) registered in the Russian Federation under the legislation of the Russian Federation has the right to make a declaration of conformity.

The declaration of conformity may be made by:

The manufacturer (a person acting as a manufacturer) – for commercially available products, or for a batch of products, or a one-of-a-kind item;
The seller – for a batch of products or a one-of-a-kind item.
A company that makes a declaration must be a manufacturer (seller, supplier) of the declared products or it must exercise functions of a foreign manufacturer by virtue of an agreement with it insofar as the conformity of the products supplied and the responsibility for non-conformity of the products supplied to technical requirements are concerned.

It means that a foreign manufacturer is not allowed to self-declare conformity; the declaration can be made by a company selling these products (for a batch) or a person acting as a foreign manufacturer (for commercially available products).

When the declaration is drawn up, it must be registered. The Declaration of conformity is registered by an accredited certification body. An applicant sends a completed declaration and necessary documents to a company of its choice, whose accreditation scope covers these products.

The Declaration is registered upon a request for registration submitted by the applicant. An application form is prescribed by the document headlined «GOST-R Certification System. Forms of the key Documents Used within the System».
