Pete, If you want it done fast, invite the Russian experts to assess the manufacturer's production, quality system and the manufacturer's test reports. For one time shipments, and machinery which comply with the CE Directives and have test reports, the process can be is relatively simple. However, for machinery with no EU Reports/DoCs, best tgo invite the Russian experts for an assessment and if all ok, quick certification. Remember that machinery may need several Russian certs including but not limited to Explosion Cert (for hazardous location equipment), Rostechnadzor (for equipment requiring a special permit to operate, like oil refinery equipment), Fire Certificate (for equipment employing flammable liquids), to name a few. Let me know if you need help. Machinery may seem difficult to gain Russian certs, but if you work diligently and have an in-house Russian speaking person who understands the production and quality systems, it will tremendously help cut the lead times for certification Peter

How did you start? What difficulties did you have? What would you recommend to others to make this go smoothly? Let it all hang out. :>) br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PE Principal Product Safety Engineer PO Box 23427 Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 fone/fax [email protected] - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
