Medical Products Certificate

To supply medical products within the territory of Russia, it is necessary to pass compliance check of the declared drug with the GOST-R certification system. Medical Products Certificate is a document which one needs to acquire to import and produce products and which testifies  compliance of the drug declared by a businessperson to requirements of the Russian Federation Legislation.

It should be noted that quality assessment of the drugs launched to market in Russia is carried out according to declaration schemes. It follows that drugs suppliers/manufacturers require issuing a declaration, and not a certificate of quality. Only those enterprises which are registered within the territory of Russia are entitled to declare compliance with GOST-R certification system, as responsibility concerning the data specified in the declaration and checking protocols, falls on the businessperson.

Medical products need to go through declaration as the OKP code (Russian National product classification code), relating to these products, was entered in the uniform list of mandatory declaration of compliance with GOST-R certification system.  RF Government Resolution No. 982 regulates this list.

To obtain declaration, a supplier, in certain cases, will need to pass all stages of sanitary certification. It is necessary to obtain a sanitary certificate on medical products (Certificate of State Registration of the Customs Union) only for products from the corresponding section of the Customs Union Commission Decision No. 299.
