All you need to know about product certification procedure

More than half of applications for certification come from people who have just learnt that certificates are not the same as a gift card in a shop. Practice shows, people find out about certification bodies only after they have launched production or purchased goods from their foreign partners. They have a murky idea of what documents are needed and who is responsible for their issuance.

Meanwhile, we are well aware that our clients are no certification experts and they don’t have to become ones. They have other things to take care of: their own lives and work and there is no need in spending time on learning new information just to use it once or twice a year. We value that and therefore offer to do all the job for the client.

What is particular about our business policy:

We issue and register permitting documents in the watchdog agencies.
We do it fast and smoothly.
We treat every client as a prospective good friend. And good friends, as we all know, are always there to make each other’s life better and easier.

Our clients can expect no information overload. We address all questions in plain language, without unnecessary professional gobbledygook and arrange our work to save as much of client’s time as possible. In some situations, we can do virtually everything: collect necessary documents and product samples, fill in the application forms, cut through the red-tape and send the original documents via post or through delivery service. If you, our prospective client, want to, we can do this way.

In other case, we will be happy to brief you on how to register permitting documents which can be issued without certification bodies. You will learn that:

Certificate of Conformity is issued on domestic and imported products, included in Russian State Standards;

ISO 9001 is an international Certificate of Conformity to the world’s quality management standard;

Fire Safety Certificate is voluntary and is issued on products that passed fire safety tests;

Exemption letter is issued on products that are not subject to mandatory certification within Russia

And for sure we will warn you of potential obstacles and hurdles that might come up along the way.

Open Cert has been on the market for 7 years and our team is not just a group of professionals, we are much of a big family. And like in a family we are aware that each of us contributes to the final result. We work together towards a common goal: make our clients happy.
With such an approach we manage to increase the number of issued documents day by day and enlist support of business partners that give us a hand in situations which we are unauthorized to solve on our own.
