Indeed, each shipment to Russian Federation should be accompanied with an authorised copy of a GOST-R certificate (with affixed holographic sticker). Along with a GOST-R cerificate, Russians issue a license authorising the use of GOST-R mark for 2 or 3 years. Also, most of Russian Certification Centers require copies of safety (CB scheme or CE) and EMC reports issued by GOSSTANDART' accredited testing labs. For certain type of ITE equipment (such as VDT, keyboard, etc.), so called hygienic approval is required. Very few foreign labs have been appointed by Russian Hygienic Certification Center, SAMTEST, to perform required tests and prepare bilingual submittals.
For those who dare to contradict, an old Russian dictum goes like this: the Laws have been written to ignore them (only joking!). Good luck.
