What is a voluntary Certificate of Conformity?

Voluntary certification is carried out based on the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Product and Service Certification" at the applicant's request to confirm that the product meets regulatory document requirements. Voluntary product certification is applied to goods not included in the approved nomenclature or to products subject to mandatory certification, checked for requirements different from safety requirements in the Nomenclature. The voluntary certification procedure is carried out at the applicant's initiative and follows the same certification schemes as mandatory certification: first, laboratory tests of the product are conducted, and only then is the final document issued. The Certificate of Conformity can be issued for a period of one to three years, providing flexibility and adaptability of the certification process to the client's needs.
