For the first time the Declaration of Conformity was mentioned in the Decree N°766 issued by the Government of the Russian Federation on July 07, 1999. Later, shortly after the promulgation of the Federal Law N° 184-FZ issued on December 27, 2002 about « Technical regulations» the RosTekhRegulation (currently Rosstandart) released a new list of products subject to mandatory compliance test. This list has differentiated products whose conformity must be certified through the Certification and the Declaration.
The Declaration of Conformity GOST R must be registered in the Certification Center accredited in the system GOST R according to the evidence of compliance given by the applicant. Obtaining the Declaration of Conformity is allowed only to legal entities registered in the Russian territory (distributors, importers or official representatives of foreign manufacturers). Furthermore, each importer must have his own Declaration of Conformity issued in his name.
Within the TR framework, the Russian standards are no longer mandatory and a series of proofs to take into account during products conformity testing is larger. As in the system GOST R, products conformity can be certified by the Declaration of Conformity TR.
The principle of « conformity presumption » was established, it means that the application according to the voluntary national standards and regulations which are included in the list of specific TR ensures compliance with the technical regulations requirements.
The manufacturer or its agent (importer or distributor) is fully responsible for the products conformity placed on the market.
