The discussion focused on issues related to product safety in the market. The head of Rosakkreditatsiya, Dmitry Volvach, emphasized the recent changes in Russian legislation.
According to information from Rosakkreditatsiya, starting from November 30, a new government decree came into force in Russia, granting state control bodies and Rosakkreditatsiya the authority to suspend the actions of certificates and declarations if non-compliance with mandatory safety requirements of the EAEU technical regulations is identified or if necessary documents for their registration are missing.
In accordance with the amendments made:
- Rosakkreditatsiya now has the right to annul certificates and declarations if it receives information from the national accreditation body of EAEU countries that the test protocol on which they were issued does not actually exist.
- The Federal Customs Service will inform Rosakkreditatsiya about cases of importing goods without confirmed test protocols, which will serve as a reason for suspending the accompanying documents in Russia.
- All decisions to suspend certificates and declarations will be recorded in the Federal State Information System of Rosakkreditatsiya and sent to the Eurasian Economic Commission, as well as to the state control bodies of the EAEU member states.
The adoption of this document sparked active discussions among the members of the Council of Heads of Accreditation Bodies of EAEU countries.
“One of the main tasks is to protect the market from unscrupulous manufacturers and sellers, as well as to prevent the release of dangerous products. Unfortunately, there are cases of issuing so-called 'gray' certificates and declarations, which are often based on fictitious test protocols.
We are confident that only through joint efforts can we cleanse the market of such documents and ensure product safety,” noted Dmitry Volvach.
At the meeting of the EAEU Intergovernmental Council, the heads of government of the EAEU countries also emphasized that the fight against unjustified certificates will continue.
In June 2025, the Minister of Economic Development of Russia, Maxim Reshetnikov, reported a significant increase in the number of Kyrgyz certificates for products in the Russian market.
The ministry noted that the quality of some certificates from EAEU countries leaves much to be desired. In 2024, the number of Kyrgyz certificates in the Russian market reached 250 thousand.
The Ministry of Economy of Kyrgyzstan responded to the Russian side that such statements require monitoring and assessment of the work of accredited certification bodies.
