Mandatory and voluntary certification in Russia. What is certification? Analysis of the state of production


In conditions market economy, no manufacturer can succeed without competitive, and therefore high-quality, products. However, not all products presented on the Russian market meet the requirements of Russian and international quality standards.

  • Application for product certification;
  • Copies constituent documents the applicant;

The difference between product certification and product certification.

A product conformity certificate is required for domestic manufacturers, and a product conformity certificate is required for companies that are engaged in importing and importing ready-made goods for sale into the Customs Union. But for products and goods, a single form of certification has been established, which means that the procedure for issuing a certificate does not differ from whether it is imported or domestic.

Certification of conformity of domestic products.

Product Conformity Certification is required for manufacturers who produce finished product for exploitation, use, consumption by citizens. Certification is not required unless the product is intended for independent work, but has an appointment as components or spare parts for a specific type of other product. Example: “Buttons for a shirt”, “Engine for a chainsaw”, “Knives and replaceable nozzles for a meat grinder”, from the above, mandatory certification will be subject to: a shirt, a chainsaw, a meat grinder. The manufacturer, before releasing its products into circulation, carries out a number of measures to confirm compliance, both for personal purposes and for the purposes of state control. For personal purposes, as a rule, the manufacturer conducts his factory tests, which show the quality characteristics finished products, while the plant evaluates the achievement of the goals and objectives that were set for the release of this product. For the purposes of state control, this is product certification, which shows product safety characteristics, and only a disinterested person can carry out product certification, i.e. accredited certification body.

Certification of conformity of products takes place in several stages:

The manufacturer submits an application and technical design documentation (passport, manual / instructions for use, specifications or organization standard, safety justification, factory test reports, drawings, product descriptions, etc., depending on the product) to the certification center. After considering the application, a decision is made on certification and sampling for testing.

2. Product testing.

After sampling, an application is sent to the testing laboratory for testing in order to certify products. Based on the test results, an accredited expert decides whether the product meets the established requirements or not.

3. Analysis of the state of production.

After successful test results, with serial certification of products, the expert goes to the production, for its inspection and analysis in relation to the state of production. This is necessary for a general understanding of the stability of products. If the production is certified according to ISO 9001 Quality Management System, then under some regulations it is allowed not to analyze the state of production in order to issue a certificate for mass-produced products.

4. Registration of the certificate of conformity.

Almost the final stage of product certification is the issuance of a certificate of conformity with the entry of information into the state register. The presence of a certificate of conformity now allows the manufacturer to sell products in full.

5. Inspection control over certified products.

Inspection control (IC) is a mandatory procedure for products that are mass-produced. Only the certification body that issued the certificate can conduct QI. The number of ICs is established depending on the regulations and on the internal procedures of the QMS of the certification body. IC can be planned and unscheduled. The scheduled one takes place once a year or every two years, the unscheduled one, depending on the situation (a violation is detected, citizens appeal on product quality, etc.). After the IC is carried out, the certification body decides to extend the validity of the certificate or suspend or cancel it. An enterprise may not pass the IC if this product is no longer manufactured. In this case, a written notification from the manufacturer is required, and the certification body, in turn, revokes the certificate.

Certification of conformity of imported goods.

Certification of conformity of goods imported from other countries is mandatory. The reason is that the Customs Union has its own technical regulations, hygiene indicators and requirements for goods in order to protect the health of citizens and their property from low-quality products. The procedure for certification of imported goods does not differ from the certification of products of a domestic manufacturer. Often, imported goods come to Russia in certain batches, depending on its demand in our markets, therefore, technical regulation has developed a certification scheme for a “consignment of goods”, which simplifies the certification process for importing companies.

Certification of conformity of a batch of goods occurs in the following stages:

1. Analysis of products according to technical documentation.

The importing company provides a technical description of the goods in Russian and technical documentation(passport, instructions for use, operation manual, safety case and other documents depending on the product) to the certification center for consideration and decision.

2. Product testing.

The importing company provides samples from the batch of goods received by the vehicle for testing. After the tests, the laboratory records the results in the test report.

3. Issuance of a certificate.

After analyzing the test results, the expert of the certification body decides to issue a certificate of conformity. The certificate of conformity is registered in state register and issued to the applicant. Information on the availability of a certificate is also provided to the customs services when registering a CTD. CCT is a cargo customs declaration, which is the main document for the movement of goods across customs borders.

Often, certification of imported goods is issued for mass production. In this case, an analysis of the manufacturer's production is carried out, regardless of its territorial location, and inspection control as required by the regulations.

Certification is a procedure for confirming the compliance of the quality and safety of products (services) with the requirements established for this type of product (service). An organization independent of the manufacturer and consumer is entitled to carry out this procedure - a certification body that has the appropriate accreditation (field of activity, the right to certify products of certain types). At the same time, confirmation of compliance is carried out in a written (documentary) form, with the issuance of an appropriate document - a certificate. A certificate for products (services) is issued based on the results of certification tests conducted by special testing laboratories.

Should be distinguished certification from various kinds of examinations, acceptance commissions, inventory commissions, audits carried out according to fundamentally different rules. It is also important to note that certification(conformity assessment) are subject only to those parameters of products (services) that can be objectively measured or evaluated. Therefore, it is not possible to certify works of art. Since no one can objectively assess their quality.

To the benefits that can give your company certification products (services), include the ability to release products to more expensive markets, easier customs clearance, the ability to participate in tenders, including those for obtaining state and departmental orders.

After the procedure certification products (services), your company receives greater investment attractiveness, greater confidence in the authorities, various regulatory authorities and other market participants. And your products will gain more consumer confidence.
