History and main definitions

In line with the principles of the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 640-XII issued on June 05, 1991 about the protection of consumer rights (repealed on May 18, 2010), mandatory certification of products entering the Kazakh market was imposed by the Decree of the Republicof Kazakhstan No. 367 issued on April 20, 2005. According to the Governmental Decree of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 904 issued on July 02, 2001, the area of certificationis the responsibility of the National Committee of Standardization, Metrology and Certificationat the Ministry of Economy and Trade (Gosstandart of the Republic of Kazakhstan). The Certificate of Compliance is the most important document in the certification system of Kazakhstan. It confirms that certified products meet the requirements of the environmental protection, safety, health and any property of the consumer. It also states that the goods are certified according to the Kazakh system and fully meet allquality standards which are in force in that country.
 
The Certificate of Complianceis issued by certification bodies accredited by the state of Kazakhstan. The main evidence of compliance is the protocol of tests performed in an authorized laboratory.
 
Following the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 603-II issued on November 09, 2004 about the Technical Regulation, in 2007, the first Technical Rules were enacted. Therefore during the certification, the compliance with requirements of applicable Technical Regulations should also be verified. Additional TR requirements must be met, here are their examples:
  • TR No. 277 issued on March 21, 2008 "Requirements and rules for packaging, marks, marking"
  • TRNo. 42 issued on January 23, 2009" Safety requirements for low voltage equipment"
  • TR No.812 issued on August 09, 2010" Electromagnetic Compatibility"

Since its accession to the Customs Union the local norms ceased to apply. They are in the phase of transition to Technical Regulations.
