📰 How to obtain a State Registration Certificate in Kazakhstan: detailed instructions for manufacturers
If you manufacture or import products that come into contact with people, such as cosmetics, food, chemicals or children’s products, you need to obtain a Certificate of State Registration (SGR).
Without this document, such products may not be sold or imported into Kazakhstan or other EAEU countries.
This article explains how to obtain an SGR in Kazakhstan, which documents are required, and why it is more convenient to entrust the process to professionals such as ALMA TEST, which manages the entire procedure.
📋 What is the SGR and who needs it?
An SGR (Certificate of State Registration) is an official document confirming that a product is safe for human health.
It is issued by authorized bodies on the basis of laboratory tests and expert opinions.
An SGR is required for the following product categories:
- cosmetics and perfumes;
- personal hygiene products;
- dietary supplements;
- food products and bottled water;
- children’s products;
- household and industrial chemicals;
- products containing GMOs;
- specialized food products.
🧾 Stages of obtaining a State Registration Certificate in Kazakhstan
1. Initial consultation and determination of category
At this stage, specialists determine:
- whether your product requires an SGR;
- which EAEU commodity code (TN VED) applies to it;
- which sanitary standards apply.
⚙️ ALMA TEST helps you accurately determine your product category and avoid submission errors.
2. Preparation of documents
The applicant prepares a basic package of documents, including:
- an application for registration;
- a product description covering composition, intended use and appearance;
- a technical passport, specifications, technical conditions (TU) or the applicable GOST standard;
- photographs of the packaging and label;
- product samples;
- the manufacturer’s registered address and contact details.
If documents are drawn up in a foreign language, they must be translated and notarized.
3. Conducting laboratory tests
The product undergoes sanitary and hygienic testing in an accredited laboratory.
The tests determine:
- chemical composition and toxicological indicators;
- microbiological purity;
- compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards of the EAEU.
The results are recorded in test reports, which become the basis for preparing an expert opinion.
4. Preparation of an expert opinion
After laboratory testing is complete, experts prepare an opinion on the product’s safety.
The document contains:
- the test results;
- a conclusion on compliance with sanitary requirements;
- recommendations for registration.
The expert opinion is sent to the competent government authority for a decision on issuing the certificate.
5. Submitting an application to the authorized body
The application, the full document package and the expert opinion are submitted to the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Control of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
After the information is checked, a decision is made on product registration and entry in the EAEU Unified Register.
6. Obtaining a certificate
After a positive decision, the applicant receives:
- a Certificate of State Registration (SGR) in the prescribed format;
- access to the product’s entry in the EAEU electronic register, where the document’s authenticity can be checked.
📘 From this moment on, the products are officially allowed to circulate on the market of Kazakhstan and other countries of the Union.
⏱️ Processing time and cost
Processing time depends on the product category and the scope of testing.
On average:
- preparation of documents - 2-5 business days;
- laboratory tests - 10–20 days;
- registration and issuance of a certificate - up to 30 days.
💰 The cost is calculated individually and depends on the product’s composition, EAEU commodity code (TN VED) and the number of samples.
ALMA TEST offers transparent cost calculations and fixed prices agreed in the contract.
