Currently, most product groups are regulated by national technical regulations and the Customs Union technical regulations but some product types still require drafting GOST R Declarations.

The list of such products is provided in Regulation of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 982 «On Approval of the Unified List of Products Subject to Mandatory Certification and the Unified List of Products for which the Confirmation of Conformity is Made in the Form of a Declaration of Conformity».

The list is regularly updated and its updated version is available at Rosstandard site (Federal Technical Regulation and Metrology Agency).

One should also note that GOST R certification system requires drafting GOST R Certificates instead of conformity declarations.
