Marketplaces in Russia are obliged to publish a link to EAC certificates from September 1, 2024
The Russian government supported the parliamentary draft of legislation, which obliges sellers from September 1, 2024 to include a link to the register of EAC certificates and EAC declarations in the product description when selling at marketplaces.
Amendments are being made to the law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”. According to the explanatory note, not all sellers are now required to place a link next to the product indicating that it meets all regulations and is included in the register of issued certificates of conformity.
If the product is not subject to mandatory confirmation of conformity, the seller must indicate it in the product description. The new regulation is proposed not to apply to the sale of used goods and in the case of concluding a purchase and sale agreement on the territory of a retail facility.
If adopted, the law should come into force on September 1, 2024. The draft of legislation states that the liability of sellers and marketplace owners for failure to comply with the provisions of the law begins on March 1, 2025. However, the measure of liability is not defined in the amendments.
