The certificate of the Custom Union (TR CU Certificate) allows the distribution of goods within the Customs Union without restriction. The negotiated accepted standards of the Certificate enable a streamlined process to take place. These certificates are valid within the Custom Union countries which are Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia. They have general rules for the minimum product quality, required documents, and are in full force within the territory of any of these three countries. SERCONS is a certification body that has the required accreditation allowing us to issue these certificates. With this certification, your products represent higher quality that may lead to an increase in prices and more opportunities.
How to execute the TR CU certificate
The Custom Union certificate of conformity is executed in accordance to the established common list of goods. It contains the requirements that must be followed clearly.
So, if the product is on this list, its quality must be confirmed. Currently, if a product is included on the Uniform list, it must be labeled with a mark by the manufacturer. This is a mark that is common to the Customs Union. What is the benefit of a Customs Union Certificate?
Without a doubt the streamlining of required documents to market products within the Customs Union is a distinct advantage. However, without proof of a standard quality, these products automatically pass into lower price categories and may lose an opportunity of premium brand development. The purpose of the Custom Union was to create a consistency in quality so as to reduce the circulation of defective goods.
A common form of certificate is applied within the territory of the Custom Union. It should contain the following information:
- manufacturer’s data;
- applicant’s data;
- reference to the technical standardized document;
- date and number of the document confirming product’s corresponding to the specified testing;
- name of product;
- name of issuing authority;
- notification about the process of quality confirmation.
