What is a declaration of conformity?

      Declaration of conformity is a document in which the manufacturer or seller certifies that the products manufactured or supplied by them meet the requirements reflected in existing standards. The declaration is formalized for a batch of products or a serial production. The issuance of declarations of compliance has the right to produce only accredited certification bodies operating throughout the territory of Uzbekistan, regardless of the region in which the applicant is registered. Currently, there is no registered form for registration of the declaration: the manufacturer independently fills in the declaration and registers it with the certification body. It has the right to register legal entities and individuals who are sellers or manufacturers, or perform the functions of a foreign manufacturer. Declaration of Conformity is the legal basis for marking products with a mark of conformity.
