State registration of products within the EAEU: specifics of the procedure
📰 State registration of products within the EAEU: specifics of the procedure
State registration of products in the EAEU is a procedure confirming that goods meet the Union’s mandatory sanitary and hygienic requirements.
It establishes a common approach to monitoring the safety of products on the market of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), whose members are Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
🌍 What is unified state registration in the EAEU?
Before the creation of the EAEU, each country registered products according to its own national rules.
Today, a unified system established by Decision No. 299 of the Customs Union Commission, dated 28 May 2010, is in place. Under this system, a Certificate of State Registration (SGR) is issued.
This document:
confirms the safety of products according to sanitary and hygienic indicators;
is valid throughout the territory of the Union without re-registration;
allows the free movement of goods between the EAEU countries.
⚖️ The purpose of state registration within the Union
The main purpose of registration is to ensure that products are safe for public health.
The procedure is aimed at:
identification of potentially dangerous properties of goods;
control of product composition and quality;
preventing the circulation of goods that do not meet sanitary requirements;
protection of consumers and producers operating within the legal framework.
🧾 Product categories subject to state registration
Products that may come into contact with humans or enter the body are subject to state registration.
The main categories include:
Dietary supplements;
Food products and beverages;
Bottled water;
Cosmetics and personal hygiene products;
Children’s products;
Household and industrial chemicals;
Products containing GMOs;
Specialized food products.
The full list is approved in the Appendix to Decision No. 299.
🧩 Key stages of state registration in the EAEU
1. Preparation of documents
The applicant prepares a package of documents, including:
an application;
a product description and composition;
a technical passport or technical conditions (TU);
photographs of the packaging;
manufacturer information;
samples for testing.
⚙️ ALMA TEST helps determine the product category, identify EAEU commodity codes (TN VED) and prepare all documents accurately.
2. Conducting laboratory tests
The products undergo sanitary and hygienic tests in accredited laboratories of the EAEU.
The following are checked:
chemical and microbiological composition;
toxicological indicators;
safety for long-term use.
The results are presented in test reports, which are transferred to experts.
3. Expert opinion
Based on the test reports, the laboratory prepares an expert opinion on the product’s compliance with sanitary requirements.
It states whether the product may be placed on the Union’s market.
4. Submission to the authorized body
All documents and expert opinions are submitted to the sanitary and epidemiological authority in the applicant’s country. In Kazakhstan, this is the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Control of the Ministry of Health.
After checking the information, a decision is made to issue the SGR.
5. Registration and inclusion in the EAEU register
Once approved, the product is entered in the EAEU Unified Register of Certificates.
The document is available for verification on the official website of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
📘 From this moment on, the goods can be freely supplied and sold in all countries of the Union.
