3. Shared Features of All Three National GOST Systems
Two document types for every country:
Certificate of Conformity (CoC): High-risk national goods, lab testing + factory audit required
Declaration of Conformity (DoC): Medium/low-risk goods, no mandatory factory audit
Two validity modes:
Batch document: Valid for one single shipment only
Serial document: 1/3/5 years for repeated exports
All technical dossiers must be translated into the local official language (Russian for all three countries)
Foreign manufacturers cannot hold the certificate; local EAEU legal entity must act as authorized representative with notarized power of attorney
Voluntary certification option available for all products, used for bidding, offline retail channel access and brand credibility
4. Key Differences Between National GOST vs EAC (Critical for Export Decision)
Geographic Cost Advantage
EAC: One certificate covers Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan — ideal if you sell to multiple EAEU markets
National GOST: Separate certification for each single country; high cost if exporting to multiple EAEU states
Legal Hierarchy
TR CU/EAC regulations have higher legal status than all national GOST standards. If a product is covered by TR CU, customs will fully reject any GOST-R/K/BY document.
Testing Standards
EAC: Harmonized unified safety rules for the whole union
