Rostest (Russian: Ростест) is the largest organization of practical metrology and certification in the Russian Federation. Rostest attempts to ensure uniformity of measurements in industry, health care, communication systems, trading, military defense, and resource counting as well as environmental protection and other economic activities.
History
[edit]The new Rostest mark of certification was introduced in Russia in 1992 and went into effect on 1 July 1993.[1] On the base of Rostest in Moscow they founded one of the first organs for certification of products and services and the quality systems within the system of obligatory certification in the early 1990s.
Certification in Russia
[edit]In order to import and sell goods in Russia it is necessary to draw up appropriate documents, including Correspondence Certificates, Correspondence Declaration, and Letters of Refusal. Rostest prepares certification documents. Rostest specialists check, calibrate, and test means of measurement. It then approves the type, the device, and the method of performing measurements.
Rostest owns a modern testing base and the most recent equipment. Cooperating institutions in Russia include: Russian Techno Regulation, Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES), Russian Consumer Rights' Supervision,[2] and RRIS (Russian Research Institute of Certification).
