GOST STANDARD

GOST (ГОСТ) is the abbreviation for GOsudarstvennyy STandart. GOST refers to a set of technical standards maintained by the Euro-Asian Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification (EACS), a regional standards organization operating under the supervision of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Standard itself was originally developed by the Soviet Union government, however, after the disintegration of the USSR, standards acquired a new status of the regional standards. Since then, more than 20,000 standards were used extensively in 12 countries, serving to regulate countries in the region. GOST R simply refers to GOST certificate in Russia, GOST B for Belarus, GOST K for Kazakhstan and so on.
