The technical regulation sphere, namely conformity assurance regulations, in Russian Federation are complex, bureaucratic and both time and money consuming. Even producers and retailers originated from Russia experience difficulties when obtaining appropriate certificate that is required for market access. Moreover, the on-going changes caused by various economic integrations make enough complicated processes even more tangled.
The conducted research aims to explain Russian technical regulation to the foreign manufacturer, Bombardier Transportation, which is planning further production and sell on the territory of Russian Federation. Drawn analogies with European standards and processes of conformity assurance intend to clarify and show that Russian technical regulation works according to the same rules as its’ European’s counterparty. Research reveals contradiction in state norms and provides a solution if a contradiction arises.
The study relies on the official publicly available documents, such as government decrees, decisions and publications. Also several interviews with certification experts have been held. The academic knowledge that has been obtained for this thesis is illustrated with common practices that companies experience when passing through the same bureaucratic procedures.
The solutions provided in the final part of research are designed to overcome difficulties and reduce time and money costs during conformity assurance procedures. Based on the results of the research the training on Russian standards and technical regulation has been held inside the company. Although several questions remain opened, the vector of further activity has been found.
