Certification Introduction

For customs clearance and market entry of electronic and electrical products in Uzbekistan, it is required to comply with the GOST UZ (also known as UzGOST) certification system, which is led and managed by the Uzbekistan National Committee for Standardization, Metrology and Certification (Uzstandard). The system is divided into two categories: mandatory certification and voluntary certification. Products included in the mandatory list must obtain certification before customs clearance and sales, and uncertified products will be detained by customs; low-risk non-mandatory categories can apply for voluntary certification to improve market recognition. The application scope covers all types of civil, commercial and industrial electronic and electrical products. Personal non-commercial imports, exhibition samples, etc. are exempt from certification. The new regulation in 2025 has included photovoltaic modules, children's smart watches, electric vehicle charging piles and other products into the mandatory list.

Laws and Regulations

The core regulatory basis is Uzbekistan Law on Certification of Products and Services, Uzstandard is responsible for rule update and implementation, and adjusts the list of mandatory certification products every year. The 2025 version of the list includes a total of 253 categories of products requiring certification. Uzbekistan is advancing the accession process to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the certification system is expected to align with EAEU EAC certification in the future. Export enterprises need to confirm the latest rules through the official Uzstandard website. Certification is available in two forms: Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and Declaration of Conformity (DoC), both have the same legal effect, and the applicable product categories are clearly defined by regulations.

Technical Requirements

Core requirements cover two major fields of Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Electrical Safety: Localized conversion adopts IEC international standards, audio-visual/IT equipment generally follows O'z DSt IEC 62368-1 (replacing the original old versions of IEC 60065 and IEC 60950 standards), and electric vehicle charging piles comply with UZS 62196 standard; EMC: Implements the O'z DSt 301489 series of standards, focusing on controlling conducted disturbance, radiated disturbance, electrostatic discharge immunity and other items. All technical documents need to be translated into Russian or Uzbek and notarized, and certified products must mark the UzGOST mark and certificate number at a prominent position on the product body.

Certification Process

Confirm whether the product belongs to the mandatory certification scope against the HS code through the official channel of Uzstandard, and clarify the applicable certification type.

Non-Uzbekistan local enterprises must entrust a locally registered institution as an authorized representative, and provide notarized legal authorization documents.

Prepare a full set of application materials translated and notarized in Russian/Uzbek, including certification application form, enterprise business license, product technical materials, import contract, etc.

After submitting the application, complete document review, provide samples as required to the Uzstandard-accredited laboratory for testing, and some batch certifications require additional factory audit.

After all reviews and tests are qualified, the corresponding certification certificate or declaration of conformity will be issued.
