GOST certification for thermal insulation.
Extruded polystyrene foam insulation - FoamPlex (XPS or EPPS) for the construction and overhaul of buildings and structures for different purposes (residential, public buildings, industrial buildings, etc.).
This material has excellent thermal insulation properties and the following characteristics:
Durability. High density.
Mechanical resistance. Moistureproof.
Low vapor permeability.
For these products, GOST certification is mandatory by law.
According to the provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the lack of an authorization document will lead to administrative liability - fines, confiscation of goods, suspension of legal personality.
In the presence of mandatory certification, the applicant can obtain a voluntary thermal insulation GOST certificate, which is an effective means of competition.
Regulatory and legal framework in Russia
In terms of mandatory conformity assessment, insulation materials such as thermal insulation are affected by two normative acts:
Federal Law of the Russian Federation 123--FZ Fire Code (PP RF 241 specifies the list of controlled products for fire protection certification);
PP RF Decree No. 982 specifies the products that need to be evaluated in the national system.
Therefore, the mandatory certification of foam that is not used to sort out evacuation passages is a Russian fire safety declaration (which can be replaced by a fire safety certificate at the request of the customer) and a GOST declaration of conformity.
Fire certification for thermal insulation
The fire certificate of thermal insulation is a document prohibiting the production and sale of insulating materials on the territory of the Russian Federation, and eugene this product belongs to the category of insulating and insulating materials.
The evaluation procedure according to GOST standards includes verification of the documents provided by the applicant, sample testing of the fire safety parameters of the product in a specialized laboratory, these parameters include:
Flammability. Toxicity of steam when heated.
High temperature resistance. Smoke formation level.
Ignition rate;and other parameters.
A fire declaration for pentaphosphorus is registered and issued to the manufacturer (importer) on the basis of a test report (TI), which requires confirmation of the compliance of the production process itself by means of an expert visit to the enterprise.
GOST Declaration of Conformity of Thermal Insulation Materials in the Russian State System
With the assistance of specialists from the certification center, the applicant can register the GOST declaration of conformity in the Russian state system. To do this, it is necessary to collect and present an evidence base.
The GOST declaration of conformity is valid for 1 or 3 years.
Voluntary GOST certification for thermal insulation materials
After compulsory certification, the applicant can obtain a voluntary GOST quality certificate, which can be developed within the framework of any VDS (Voluntary Certification System) and registered with Rosstandart.
The various phases of the voluntary GOST certification process include product identification, document verification, and assessment of product quality against GOST standards or TU enterprise standards.
The main advantages of registering a voluntary GOST certificate are that it helps to win in the competition, is included in the set of tender documents, has the right to use the SDS quality mark, signs contracts with new business partners and enters new markets.
