What is a Certificate of Conformity

A Certificate of Conformity confirms that the product's safety meets the requirements of technical regulations, standards, or technical specifications. It may be issued only by a conformity assessment body holding a valid accreditation certificate.

In Ukraine, the UkrSEPRO system has been abolished, and mandatory certification in the old format has been replaced by European technical regulations. Current changes and new safety rules are covered in our separate special article

The validity period of the document depends on the conformity assessment scheme: for a single product, a batch, or serial production (from 1 to 5 years). Examples of completed documents and the structure of actual documents are available on our website pages. 

Product certification areas

Our main services can be divided into key areas for different business needs:

ISO certification and management systems

For businesses, ISO certification provides confident access to new markets, is often a mandatory condition for tender participation, and builds partner trust. A properly implemented quality management system optimizes company processes and minimizes defects.

We help companies complete certification in various areas:

  • ISO 9001 (quality); 
  • ISO 14001 (environmental management); 
  • ISO 22000 (food safety); 
  • ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety); 
  • ISO 50001 (energy management);
  • ISO 27001 (information security);
  • ISO 37001 (anti-bribery),
  • ISO certification for tender participation.

CE marking and international certification

Planning to export to EU countries? You will need CE marking. Without this mark, the lawful sale and import of goods are not possible. The marking demonstrates that every applicable EU directive has been fully complied with during production.

Our company has been working with European notified certification bodies for more than 12 years. We help confirm compliance with harmonized EU legislation, prepare a Declaration of Conformity and certificates, and compile the required technical documentation under the following European Regulations and Directives:

  • EU 305/2011 (construction products)
  • 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility); 
  • 2014/35/EU (low-voltage equipment); 
  • 2006/42/EU (machinery); 
  • 2009/48/EU (toys); 
  • 2014/68/EU (pressure equipment)
  • and others. 

We also prepare UKCA documents for the United Kingdom.

Certification cost

Price depends directly on the type of your product, the selected assessment scheme, and the scope of mandatory laboratory testing. It is also affected by the current state of production: whether technical specifications and a management system are already in place.

Our experts determine the final budget only after an initial review of the documentation. 

How to order a certificate

The entire process is designed to be as simple and transparent as possible for the client:

  1. Application and initial consultation. You provide basic information: a product description, its UKTZED code, and available documents.
  2. Documentation analysis. Our specialists review the documents and define the certification roadmap.
  3. Testing and audit. We either send samples to a laboratory for testing or conduct an inspection directly at the production facility. 
  4. Preparation and issuance. After successful completion of all checks, you receive a ready-to-use legally valid document.

If your company regularly handles shipments, it is worth choosing certification services outsourcing

Is there currently a mandatory product certification in Ukraine?

Together with the UkrSEPRO system, it was abolished. Now safety is confirmed by declaration and type examination certificates according to the requirements of a specific regulation.

How does a certificate of conformity differ from a declaration of conformity?

The declaration is drawn up and registered by the manufacturer or importer himself, who is solely responsible for the product. The certificate of conformity is issued by an independent accredited body after inspections and tests. But the certification body can also help with the correct execution of the declaration of conformity and take such a declaration into its records.

How long does it take to obtain a certificate?

If there are protocols, the document is drawn up in a few days. If complex laboratory tests or a production audit are required, the procedure takes up to several weeks.

Is it mandatory to have ISO when submitting a tender?

Customers often prescribe this as a mandatory requirement. Typically, tenders require implemented ISO 9001 quality management standards or ISO 14001 environmental management standards.

Is the Ukrainian certificate valid in the EU?

No. Entry into the European market and export require mandatory confirmation of product safety and CE marking.

What documents are required for customs clearance of products?

Customs requires a declaration of compliance with technical regulations. If the product is not subject to mandatory inspections, a refusal letter is required, less often - a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion.
