Russia Fire Certificate
Russian Fire Certificate is the procedure that regulates the relations between the producers/sellers of goods (services) and their consumers in the Russian Federation. The legal basis for confirmation of conformity is constantly evolving, and today every product (service) owner aiming to enter the Russian market is faced with a rather complex system of rules.
Without going into all the details of this system, we would like to inform you about some important general concepts related to the confirmation of conformity (certification).
At the beginning of the economic reforms, the law on the "Protection of Consumer Rights" was adopted in the Russian Federation in 1992, and the government was obliged to list the products and services subject to certification. Until the end of 2002, many laws and annexes that were constantly arranged and changed such as "Related to Standardization", "Related to the certification of products and services", "Related to the sanitary and epidemiological safety of the public", "Related to the quality and safety of food products", "Related to fire safety" came into force. has entered. Finally, the Federal Law entitled “Technical Regulation” dated 27.12.2002 was adopted.
The purpose of the technical specification is to establish a reasonable balance between, on the one hand, the free movement of commercial goods in the market, and on the other hand, the concepts of life, health and property safety of citizens, environmental safety, protection of animals and plants, and prevention of activities that mislead consumers. The normative basis of the new law will be "Technical Specifications", which contain the minimum requirements that ensure safety for different product groups, taking into account the degree of risk of harm. In other words, from now on, the state will only guarantee the safety of products, that is, safety standards will be mandatory for everyone. All other standards, including national standards, will be provided upon request. It will not be in anyone's interest to produce poor quality products and under free market conditions, everyone will try to obtain a certificate of conformity, even if their goods are outside the scope of the "Technical Specifications".
