The Difference between Certification and Declaration

Certificates are issued for more dangerous and responsible products. The responsibility for the products lies more on the certification body that issued the certificate. The list of products subject to mandatory certification is clearly defined by the technical regulations.

The declaration is accepted by the applicant (a person authorized by the manufacturer) on the basis of their own evidence obtained with the participation of the manufacturer or a third party – the testing laboratory. The procedure is declarative (notification) in nature. The responsibility for the declaration lies with the applicant (a person authorized by the manufacturer).

The cost and time of registration of the certificate depends on several factors:
