International product certification is often perceived by companies as a complex and costly process that hinders entry into foreign markets. However, if viewed from a different angle, certification opens up new opportunities for export-oriented businesses
Certificate as a Mark of Quality
Having an international certificate is, first and foremost, a confirmation of high quality and safety of products. Buyers in different countries have greater confidence in certified goods. Certification helps to stand out among competitors and increases the attractiveness of products for foreign partners.
Compliance with Market Requirements
Each country has its own standards and requirements for imported goods. Obtaining the necessary certificates guarantees that the client's products comply with all regulations of the target market. This eliminates the risk of refusal of customs clearance and opens the door to a new market without obstacles.
Successful Experience of Exporters
Many companies successfully use international certification to increase exports. For example, one of our clients - a manufacturer of organic cosmetics, after obtaining eco-certification, was able to enter the European and US markets. And a large manufacturer of household appliances and electronics, having obtained safety certificates, significantly expanded its sales geography and concluded contracts with foreign distributors.
Certification Requirements in Kyrgyzstan
As of March 20, 2024, a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic came into force, according to which the function of registering declarations of conformity is transferred to a single body - Kyrgyzstandart. All declarations registered by other bodies after this date are annulled or become invalid in the EAEU countries.
The process of registering declarations at Kyrgyzstandart is quite complex and bureaucratic. It is required to provide a strictly defined package of documents certified by the applicant (manufacturer), including test reports, technical specifications, descriptions, labeling, etc. The documents are carefully checked by experts for compliance with the requirements.
It is important to timely make changes to registered declarations when modifying products. Using an old declaration for a modified product may lead to fines from Kyrgyzstandart.
