Russian certification is done through GOSSTANDART. The GOST certificate is based on testing which is similar to the rest of the world (e.g. IEC 950, CISPR22, etc.). CE marking does not however satisfy the requirements. There are a few companies that can offer the GOST certificate. One of them is Intertek Testing Services. ITS has several engineers who have spent time in Russia training for the process.
The specific list of standards, as you might imagine, gets pretty lengthy. You may contact me directly for more information.

I know that in the past equipment could only be imported with a certificate of conformity prepared by SGS, and that the general EMC requirement was CISPR based (I think!) as to safety I'm not aware of their requirement. However I have heard that this is to be 'phased' out and that the EN guidelines will be used for both EMC and product safety. I really need to know when this will happen or if it has happened and what their requirements will eventually be (specification numbers et al) Thanks very much Paul Smith
