Launching a new product
Before market launch, we identify the product category and review its composition and claims. Where state registration is mandatory, we plan it in advance.
Prepare a description and formula.
Start with the right product classification
When an SGR is required
A product launch, import or formula change is a reason to review your compliance documents. We help determine whether your particular product requires state registration.
01 / When to check whether an SGR is required
When to check whether an SGR is required
A State Registration Certificate (SGR) is required for products covered by mandatory lists and the relevant technical regulations. Importing a product or starting sales does not determine this on its own.
Importing into Kazakhstan and the EAEU
We review requirements for the imported product and any existing SGR: its status, manufacturer, product name and scope.
Send supplier documents and the label.
Changing composition or intended use
A new formula, age group, manufacturer or product claim needs assessment. The next steps depend on the nature of the changes and category rules.
We compare the old and new information.
Selling through retailers and online
We match the documents to the specific product and the platform’s requirements. A marketplace request does not mean that every product needs an SGR.
Check documents before shipment.
Examples: a product name is not the whole answer
A supplement and an ordinary food product
Food supplements require state registration as specialised food. Many ordinary food products follow a declaration of conformity procedure.
Cosmetics for different users
Cosmetics require an SGR in the cases listed in Annex 12 to CU TR 009/2011. Intended use, composition and the user’s age are relevant.
