Certification

A certificate of conformity is a document issued according to the rules of the certification system to confirm the compliance of certified products with the established requirements.

The list of types of products produced in the Republic of Uzbekistan and imported into its territory subject to mandatory certification was approved by the Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated July 6, 2004, No. 318 "On additional measures to simplify the certification of products" and dated April 28, 2011, No. 122 "On additional measures to improve certification procedures and implementation of quality management systems ”. In this list, the products are ordered in accordance with the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity (TN VED). The list is updated annually and changes in connection with the adoption of new legislative acts in the field of health care and protection of consumer interests.

Voluntary certification is carried out on the basis of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On certification of products and services" at the request of the applicant to confirm the compliance of products with the requirements of regulatory documents.

Voluntary certification of products is applied to goods that are not included in the approved product nomenclature or to products subject to mandatory certification, checked for requirements other than safety requirements from the Nomenclature. The voluntary certification procedure is carried out at the initiative of the applicant and follows the same certification schemes as the mandatory one: first, laboratory tests of the products are carried out, and only after that the final document is issued. The certificate of conformity can be issued for a period of one to three years.

• helps to convince consumers that the product meets their specific requirements;
