GOST K KAZAKHSTAN

GOST K is a Kazakhstan technical standard certificate issued by Kazakhstan. After the introduction of the TRCU (Technical Regulation of Customs Union) and the integrated certification system that took effect among the Eurasian Customs Union countries, the proportion of GOST R certification in Kazakhstan has significantly decreased compared to the past. However, GOST K certification is still required for import customs clearance for compulsory certification items that have not yet been agreed upon between allied countries. GOST K can be issued by a certification body approved by the Kazakhstan Committee for Standardization, Metrology and Certification (KAZMEMST). According to regulations, the following items are subject to GOST K certification.

  • Items included in the Kazakhstan Decree № 367 «About obligatory confirmation of conformity of products in the Republic of Kazakhstan»
