📰 Obtaining an SGR for personal hygiene products
Personal hygiene products are goods that come into daily contact with human skin and mucous membranes.
To ensure their safety, all such products must undergo state registration (SGR), confirming compliance with the sanitary and hygienic standards of Kazakhstan and the EAEU.
This category includes soap, shampoo, gel, deodorant, toothpaste, wipes, creams and other hygiene products.
🧴 Which products are subject to state registration?
State registration is required for all goods that:
- are intended for personal hygiene and body care;
- contain active chemical substances or fragrances;
- come into contact with human skin, mucous membranes or the respiratory tract.
These include:
- soap, shampoos, gels, bath foams;
- deodorants and antiperspirants;
- creams and lotions;
- toothpastes, mouthwashes, dental floss;
- wet wipes, cotton pads and swabs;
- intimate hygiene products.
⚙️ Stages of obtaining a State Registration Certificate for personal hygiene products
🧾 1. Document preparation
The applicant collects a package of documents, including:
- an application for registration;
- a product description and composition;
- a technical passport, technical conditions (TU) or the applicable GOST standard;
- manufacturer information;
- packaging photographs and labeling samples;
- documents confirming the quality and safety of raw materials.
📘 ALMA TEST specialists help you correctly complete your application and determine whether a State Registration Certificate (SGR) is required or whether a declaration of conformity is sufficient.
🔍 2. Document analysis
Representatives of the accredited body review the documents provided:
- identify products by purpose and composition;
- compare the composition with the permitted lists of substances;
- determine which sanitary standards and tests are applied.
If everything meets the requirements, a test program is developed.
🔬 3. Laboratory tests
To confirm product safety, sanitary and hygienic testing is carried out in accredited laboratories.
Tests include:
- toxicological assessment of the composition (presence of harmful substances, heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc.);
- microbiological analysis (presence of bacteria, mold, pathogenic flora);
- dermatological tests (assessment of irritant and allergenic effects);
- checking physical and chemical properties (pH, viscosity, stability).
📘 Intimate hygiene products and children’s products undergo additional testing covering a broader range of parameters.
📄 4. Document development and expert opinion
After completion of the research the following documents are issued:
- test reports;
- expert opinion, confirming the safety and compliance of the products with sanitary standards.
The conclusion includes data on the composition, test results and labeling recommendations.
🏛️ 5. Issuance of a certificate
On the basis of a positive expert opinion, the competent 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. The product may then be sold and imported legally in all member states.
🧩 Labeling requirements for hygiene products
The label must contain:
- name and purpose of the product;
- composition in order of decreasing concentration of substances;
- storage conditions and shelf life;
- precautions;
- information about the manufacturer and SGR number;
- Directions for use and precautions for contact with eyes or skin.
📘 Failure to provide complete and correct labeling may result in registration being denied.
⚠️ Registration Features
- Intimate hygiene products and children’s hygiene products are subject to stricter requirements for toxicological characteristics and hypoallergenicity.
- An SGR is issued without a fixed expiry date if the composition and manufacturing process remain unchanged.
- A change in formulation requires a further expert assessment and an updated document.
