State registration of children's products and food
📰 State registration of children's products and food
Products for children require special control, as they directly affect the health and development of the child.
For this reason, baby food, cosmetics and other products intended for children may be sold, manufactured or imported in Kazakhstan and the other EAEU countries only after a Certificate of State Registration (SGR) has been obtained.
The SGR confirms that the product has passed laboratory tests, is recognized as safe, and complies with the sanitary and hygienic standards of the Union.
👶 Which products are subject to state registration?
All products intended for children from birth to adolescence are subject to state registration, including:
baby food, including powdered formulas, cereals, purées and beverages;
children’s cosmetics and hygiene products, such as soap, shampoo, creams and wipes;
childcare and hygiene products, including diapers, wipes and accessories;
children’s tableware and feeding bottles;
toys and feeding accessories;
specialized food products for infants and pregnant women.
These categories are under special control of the sanitary services of the EAEU.
🧾 1. Document preparation
At the first stage, the applicant collects the required documents, including:
an application for state registration;
the product name and description;
its composition and intended use;
technical conditions (TU) or the applicable GOST standard;
packaging and labeling samples;
manufacturer and importer information;
photographs or a technical passport for the product.
⚙️ ALMA TEST helps you correctly complete documents and prepare your dossier for submission to an accredited body.
🔍 2. Document analysis and product identification
Representatives of the accredited body review the information provided and determine:
whether the product requires state registration;
its product category, such as food, cosmetics, hygiene products or toys;
which sanitary and hygienic requirements apply.
After this, a testing program is developed that complies with EAEU standards.
🔬 3. Laboratory tests
The product undergoes sanitary and hygienic testing in accredited laboratories in Kazakhstan.
Tests include:
determination of microbiological indicators;
toxicological analysis (presence of harmful substances, heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc.);
testing of physical and chemical properties;
assessment of compliance with sanitary standards, safety and labeling requirements.
📘 For baby food, the following are additionally checked:
nutritional and energy value;
content of vitamins, minerals and proteins;
compliance with children's dietary standards by age group.
📄 4. Document development and expert opinion
The following documents are prepared based on the laboratory test results:
test reports, containing the results of all checks;
expert opinion, confirming the compliance of the products with sanitary and hygienic standards.
An expert opinion is the key document on the basis of which a decision is made to issue an SGR.
🏛️ 5. Issuance of a certificate and entry into the register
After reviewing the documents, the competent government authority decides whether to issue an SGR. In Kazakhstan, this is the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Control of the Ministry of Health.
Product information is entered in the EAEU Unified Register of Certificates on the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) website.
The product is then authorized for circulation throughout the EAEU: Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
⚠️ Important: special requirements for children's products
Children’s products are subject to stricter sanitary standards:
toxic and allergenic substances are not permitted;
hypoallergenicity and dermatological safety testing are mandatory;
strict packaging and labeling requirements apply;
additional testing is required for products intended for newborns and children under three.
📘 Even minor discrepancies can lead to a refusal to issue an SGR, so it is important to carry out the procedure under the supervision of specialists.
