RTN Approvals are issued for serial production for 5 years validation period
Volume of the work and time frame to obtain them nearly the same for shipment and serial production RTN Approvals, so that we offer to apply not for shipment, but for serial production and highly recommend to any producer to start RTN procedure as early as possible (at least 6 months until planned usage of the equipment) to avoid delays of start -up the facility or getting energy.
Steps of RTN Certification Process
RTN Approval process is a long procedure, and before it, there are some prior certifications and issues should be solved beforehand; they shown below:
GOST R Certificate, to get RTN Approval, GOST Certificate should issued as a prior Certificate. Product content will be the same in RTN Approval and GOST Certificate.
- Commissioning Test, according to the latest regulation which is valid from September 2008, published by "Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision", after arrival and installation of the equipment or facility will be visited by Expert and witness of Official RTN Inspector planned tests should be performed.
- Passports and Instruction Manuals, should be prepared for subject equipment. These information will be submitted to RTN with other documents all together. E-marketci prepare (technical translation and re-organization) these documents as a Consultant.
Very detailed technical documentation folder, should be prepared and submitted to RTN, this work also will be performed by E-marketci Engineers.
Pattern Approval (Metrology Certificate) for Measuring Equipment, should be provided by authorized bodies if they are exist on the equipment or facility. Their types, models, quantities should be defined before start the work, because many major companies already may have this certificate and if you choose such equipment, you do not have to re-issue them.
