Craig, First you need to determine if your products are mandatory or voluntary. This can be detemined from the Harmonized Tariff Code (HS Code). You can send me the product data sheet and HS code at [email protected] and I can check if your product is regulated in Russia or not. A UL/CSA 60950-1 report for ITE will not be acceptable in Russia as the relevant GOST-R standard is based on IEC 60950-1. A CB Report will be acceptable unless the agency you work with has a relationship with one of the certification bodies in Russia and their test reports are accepted. You will also need an emc test report from an accredited laboratory. Testing to EU standards should be fine as these will be reviewed by the certifivcation body and a Russian report will be created referencing the relevant GOST standards Depending on the noise level of the equipment (such as a server), you will also need to make noise declaration to the relevant GOST noise standard. Depending on the HS code, you may also need Hygienic certification in addition to the GOST-R certification Manuals can be in the English language for highly technical equipment but must be in Russian for consumer items Hope this helps

Can anybody enlighten me on what this entails? I assume a UL/CSA 60950-1 report (no CB report for these products) would be considered acceptable as part of the GOST-R application? What other documentation will I need to collate? Any advice etc shared would be greatly appreciated.
