Selling Stuff Ain't a Breeze: Navigating State Registration in Russia

Moving products off the shelf can be a tedious, time-consuming task. Sellers must prove their products adhere to national standards and are safe for customers. A certificate of state registration serves as proof, valid for five years.

Issued by Rospotrebnadzor, this badge of honor is only awarded after your product meets all legal requirements.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE REGISTERED

State registration (SR) is a mandatory procedure for specific product categories in Russia. This certification defines products under scrutiny:

1. Food products, diapers, napkins, and children's items.
2. Personal care and hygiene products.
3. Disinfectants and pest control products.
4. Household items.
5. Items with direct body contact, like cosmetics, perfumes, and certain over-the-counter pharmaceuticals.

More broadly, State Registration is important for food, beverages, personal care products, medical devices, biocidal products, and certain children's products.

PROCEDURE FOR GETTING SR

The state registration process can be broken down into several stages:

1. Submit your application and the necessary paperwork. The required documents depend on your product type and may change over time, so always check official websites.
2. Your papers undergo a thorough review to evaluate product properties and assess potential benefits and risks to consumers.
3. Comprehensive testing is conducted, including toxicological, sanitary, hygienic studies, and others.
4. Data is checked for compliance with the local laws of the registering country, if required.
5. Product information is logged in the State Register for public scrutiny.
6. Secure your certificate of state registration. Plan ahead, as the process can take from just a few days to several weeks.

The state fee for acquiring SR is 5,000 rubles per product. The applicant is responsible for expert fees and laboratory costs.

State Registration: A Foundation for Safety Across the Eurasian Economic Union

The Customs Union decision in 2010 marked the beginning of a unified system for technical regulation across the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states. Though the decision didn't list every product requiring State Registration (SR) explicitly, it laid the groundwork for developing detailed technical regulations that did. These regulations specify which products need SR or other conformity assessments.

The SR process ensures that products on the market meet unified safety and quality standards. Starting from 2010, the process became more integrated across the EAEU with the introduction of Certificates of Conformity (CoC) or Declarations of Conformity (DoC) for many products, and SR being mandatory for items impacting human health and safety—especially food, beverages, and certain consumer goods.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, consult the Eurasian Economic Commission’s technical regulations or official EAEU sources.

Product Categories Typically Requiring State Registration in Russia/EAEU:

• Food and food additives: All food products, including processed foods, food supplements, and dietary products.
• Beverages: Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
• Certain children's products: Goods specifically designed and intended for children (such as baby food, children's cosmetics, pacifiers, teething toys).
• Personal care and hygiene products: Cosmetics, perfumes, and certain over-the-counter pharmaceuticals.
• Medical devices and equipment: Low-risk medical devices, though higher-risk devices may require more stringent approval processes.
• Biocidal products and disinfectants: Chemical products intended for disinfection or pest control.

1. State registration is essential for a variety of products in the realm of health-and-wellness, such as food-and-drink items like beverages and certain children's products, as well as personal care and hygiene products like cosmetics and perfumes.
2. Home-and-garden enthusiasts should be aware that household items also require state registration, ensuring that these products meet national standards and are safe for domestic use.
3. The science behind state registration plays a crucial role in the Eurasian Economic Union, where it's mandatory for items that impact human health and safety, notably food, beverages, and certain consumer goods, and helps maintain a unified system for technical regulation across the union.
