Certification, Kazakhstan and Belarus | Certification of products for export to Kazakhstan and Belarus

The certificate is the main document required when exporting products to the countries of the Eurasian Union (EAEU) Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.

When exporting products to Kazakhstan or Belarus, and if the product to be certified does not have the technical regulations of the Customs Union, national regulations are followed, ie GOST K in Kazakhstan and BelCT in Belarus.

When the product is not covered by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (EAEU), it may be part of the national GOST K certification system operating in Kazakhstan, which is similar to the Russian GOST R certification system.

Compliance with the standard and norms are demonstrated in the form of mandatory or voluntary certification and declaration. The Technical Regulation and Metrology (Weights; Measures) Committee of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan defines the use of standards in Kazakhstan, supervises and coordinates technical regulation and metrology.
