▍What is GOST-R Declaration?

GOST-R Declaration of Conformity is a declaration document to prove goods are complied with Russian safety regulations. When the Law of Product and Certification Service was issued by Russian Federation in 1995, compulsory product certification system came into force in Russia.

BIS issued on October 1 the matters that need special attention in documents and test reports when
submitting applications. We summarize the contents as follows:
i. Emphasized that both laboratories and manufacturers must ensure the compliance, accuracy and
completeness of the formal report before uploading the report, which is intended to combat the behavior
of arbitrarily revising the original report;
ii. If the reported product category, product name, brand and model do not match the test request, the
original test request needs to be cancelled before the test starts to generate a new and correct test
request;
iii. As part of the test report, the label needs to ensure that its parameters are consistent with the test
request; and the label and critical component information should be fully considered (for the related items
in the early stage, such as whether the battery used in the battery has been registered) after the
registration status and parameters submit;
iv. Under the product category SEALED SECONDARY CELLS/BATTERIES CONTAINING ALKALINE OR OTHER
NON-ACID ELECTROLYTES FOR USE IN PORTABLE APPLICATIONS, batteries and batteries will be separately
- 6 -
certified; and li-ion and li-polymer batteries/batteries will not be separately granted R number (same
manufacturer and same brand), but different types of cells/batteries cannot be reflected in the same series.
For example, in the report of li-ion battery, cell electrolyte type of the main model and series model must
be li-ion, cannot be mixed with li-polymer type.
v. Although the test standard for both keyboards and wireless keyboards is IS 13252-1, they are two
different product categories at the time of registration and cannot be placed in the same certificate.
