IEEE Meeting March 18 2003.
Topic: "Basic Regulations and the Practice of Conformity Assessment in Russia, with some specific examples." Member states of the former Soviet Union represent a significant and rapidly growing emerging market for information technology equipment, household appliances, industrial machinery, medical devices and instrumentation, and equipment intended for use in hazardous locations. Russia, through its standards-writing, certification and accreditation organization, GOSSTANDART, has taken the lead in the effort to develop a standards and certification system for products imported into that country. Speakers: TUV Rheinland of North America is sponsoring a series of lectures by two pioneers in the Russian certification effort, Dr. Yuri Gousakov, and Mr. Victor Timko. Mr. Victor Timko graduated from the Moscow Electrotechnical Institute for Communications in 1968 with a degree in engineering. He worked in design at the Moscow Electromechanical Plant, and in the All-Union Radio Engineering Institute for Science and Research. Presently he is the Deputy Director of the Russian Scientific and Research Institute for Certification, VNIIS. VNIIS is accredited to issue GOST-R Certificates of Conformity to products demonstrating compliance with Russian National Standards. Mr. Timko has ten years of experience in certification of electrical, electronic, computer, and telecommunication products, dating back to the beginning of the present Russian certification system. Dr. Gousakov has been involved in the Russian Gosstandart system for over thirty years, in different scientific-research and educational institutes. He was involved in the drafting of regulations regarding the importation of products subject of mandatory certification into the territory of Russian Federation. He has hands-on experience with certification of a multitude of products imported to Russia, including electrical products and industrial machinery. In 2000 he was elected President of the "Russian Organization of Certification Bodies, Testing and Measuring Laboratories," "Rosispytaniya" known in English by the abbreviation RTO. This organization was created by Gosstandart to unite the various certification bodies and testing laboratories accredited to test to Gosstandart requirements. He earned his Doctorate in the field of Economy in 1997, and Professorship in 2000.
