Certification service for construction materials - a door to eastern markets

The sale of construction products and systems in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus requires that the products be certified, that is, receive approval from authorities. Products to be certified are divided into two groups: to products, which require certification for import and to products, which require certification for use.

In practice, certification is recommended for all new construction products and systems that are to be imported so that they are suitable for use in construction projects. If foreign products chosen in plans are not certified, they are usually replaced with corresponding local products.

The certification of construction products and services improves their competitive ability on the Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian markets. Vahanen has over ten years of experience in certifying products for Russian markets and now we are expanding our services into Ukraine and Belarus. Our competent staff is able to issue certificates rapidly and cost-effectively.
