These are called GOSTcertifications, the most common of which is the GOST R certificate.The GOST R certificate allows a foreign manufacturer to do two things:
1. To clear customs for the product to enter Russia
2. To allow the receiving company to legally sell the product within RussiaProducts manufactured by non-Russian companies are assessed by government-approved experts, and then the product may receive the GOST approval. With the GOST certification, and the resulting GOST certificate of conformity, products are then guaranteed to easily pass through Russian customs houses to enter the country, and are also approved to be sold within Russia.Russian companies and organizations must only sell GOST certified products.
