Steps to obtaining a Certificate of State Registration for a product
📰 Steps to obtaining a Certificate of State Registration for a product
A Certificate of State Registration (SGR) confirms that a product has been assessed for safety and meets the sanitary and hygienic standards established within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
The process of obtaining an SGR involves several mandatory steps. Below is a detailed description of each step so you can understand the process from start to finish.
📁 1. Document preparation
The first step is to collect the complete package of documents required to submit an application.
The applicant provides:
an application for an SGR;
the product name and its EAEU commodity code (TN VED);
a description of the product, its composition and intended use;
a technical passport or technical specifications;
photographs of product samples;
manufacturer details, instructions for use and packaging information.
This step is especially important: errors or incomplete information may result in registration delays or refusal.
🔎 2. Product analysis and identification
After receiving the documents, an accredited body, such as a laboratory or certification center, reviews the information.
Experts identify the product, determining whether it is subject to state registration and what category it falls into: food, dietary supplement, cosmetics, chemicals, etc.
A list of the required tests for the product samples is also drawn up at this stage.
🧪 3. Laboratory testing
The applicant provides product samples, which are sent to a sanitary and hygienic testing laboratory.
Tests are conducted based on safety indicators, which may include:
presence of toxic or harmful substances;
microbiological indicators;
level of radiation, chemical and biological safety;
compliance of the composition with the declared data.
The results are recorded in laboratory test reports, which form the basis for the next stage.
📋 4. Preparation of an expert opinion
The laboratory test reports are used to prepare an expert opinion: a document confirming that the product meets sanitary and hygienic requirements.
The expert opinion includes:
details of the tests conducted;
an assessment of product safety;
a conclusion on whether the product may be used and sold within the EAEU.
This document is signed by experts of the accredited body and sent to the authorized government agency.
🏛️ 5. Decision-making and issuance of the SGR
At the final stage, the competent authority reviews the documents.
In Kazakhstan, this is handled by the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Control (KSEK) or other authorized bodies.
If the expert opinion is positive and the product complies with all standards, a decision on registration is made.
The applicant receives a Certificate of State Registration, and the product details are entered in the EAEU State Register, where they can be checked by the public.
⏳ Processing times and registration details
On average, the SGR registration process takes from 15 to 45 business days, depending on the product category and the complexity of the tests.
The period may be extended if additional examination or clarification of data is required.
The certificate is generally issued without a fixed expiry date, provided that the product’s composition and manufacturing process remain unchanged. If changes are made, the certificate must be reissued.
⚙️ Why is it important to follow all the steps?
Skipping one of the steps or errors in the documents can lead to:
delays in registration;
the application being returned for correction;
refusal to issue the certificate.
Therefore, the optimal solution is to entrust the process to professionals who are familiar with all legal requirements and the specifics of SGR registration.
