The Certificate of State Registration of products (SGR) is an official document of a single established sample of the countries of the Customs Union. This is an important document confirming the compliance of products with the norms of the Eurasian Customs Union in the field of hygiene and sanitary-epidemiological requirements. The Certificate of State Registration of products is issued, both for Russian companies and other residents of the CU, as well as for foreign companies.
The SGR essentially replaced the procedure for sanitary and epidemiological expertise, which was carried out until 2010. In connection with the termination of the issuance of sanitary and epidemiological conclusions with the entry into force on 01.07.2010 of the Agreement of the Customs Union on Sanitary Measures. A new document confirming the compliance of products with sanitary and epidemiological standards was the certificate of state registration of the customs union (SGR), which is valid on the territory of the Customs Union (Kazakhstan, Belarus and Russia, from October 10 2014 – Armenia, and from May 1, 2015 – Kyrgyzstan.)
