As many Russian citizens start to be richer and the middle class is being created, they start to look for new products as well as services, which they were not able to afford a few years before.

Thanks to that, lots of new enterprises might find new sales markets as well as loyal customers. Nevertheless, even though Russian market offers numerous possibilities, it also requires plenty of Formalities and various certificates.

The word “gost” stands for “norm” in Russian. Once this one is clear, it becomes quite obvious what are the function of this document, that is also known as gost r. This is necessary to obtain this certificate by any foreign business that wants to sell its products and services on Russian market. Nonetheless, this may be a little confusing, as Russian gost is required only for some type of products, as for instance materials in contact with human beings, various industrial equipment for food or mechanical goods.
