The certificates of conformity or test reports issued by notified conformity assessment bodies of other countries, based on bilateral agreements on mutual recognition of conformity assessment activities, are recognized. Recognition of certificates of conformity is carried out by issuing a new certificate of conformity by certification bodies accredited by the National Center for Accreditation.

In the process of recognition, the certification body may establish the need for additional tests if the basic requirements in force in the Republic of Moldova do not meet the requirements specified in the certificate of conformity issued by the conformity assessment body of another country.

In the absence of certificates of conformity or a declaration of conformity, the imported products are subject to conformity assessment in accordance with the procedures applicable to such products and provided in the relevant national technical regulations.
