GIST labelling requirements
What are the main rules of the Russian Decree 1865 that applicants and manufacturers need to know:
 

Circulation Marking GOST Marking (CTP) Applies only to products for which a GOST certificate or a GOST declaration of conformity has been obtained in the prescribed manner. Labelling of goods without obtaining the corresponding GOST certificate will result in the payment of a fine by the manufacturer or seller.

The circulating GOST mark shall be applied to each product individually, on the packaging and on the non-removable parts of the accompanying documentation.The position of the GOST mark shall be determined independently by the applicant or the manufacturer.

If the GOST mark cannot be applied to the product itself, it is placed on a packaging label or tape affixed to the product. If it is not possible to apply a label to the packaging, use a leaflet or on promotional material.

In order to remain in circulation throughout the product's life cycle, the Circulation GOST Mark must be clearly visible and resistant to external influences. It must be at least 5 mm wide.

The use of other symbols for marking should not affect the visibility and legibility of the GOST mark for circulation.

The Russian Decree No. 1865 is valid until 1 March 2028.

We remind you that you can always apply for GOST certification from us to avoid the risk of penalties.
