New GOST standards for conformity assessment
2 February 2021
Two new GOST standards for conformity assessment were introduced from January 1, 2021.
These new standards are GOST R 53603-2020 "Conformity assessment. Product Certification Schemes of the Russian Federation" and GOST R 58972-2020 "Conformity assessment. General sampling rules for products testing during attestation assessment".
The standard GOST 53603-2020 was developed to replace GOST 53603-2009, taking into account the requirements established by the EAEU. It specifies certification schemes and their content for use in mandatory and voluntary certification.
GOST R 58972-2020 is introduced for the first time and describes the rules for sampling production for further confirmation of compliance in the form of declaration or certification. The annex to this standard provides a recommended production sampling form.
