How to get a certificate of state registration of dietary supplements in Russia?
Before introducing new food additives to consumers that enrich the human body with useful substances, it is recommended to pay attention to the proper paperwork. This will allow you to avoid problems with law enforcement agencies in the future and exclude the payment of a monetary penalty in the form of a fine.
In what cases is the registration of dietary supplements possible?
In accordance with the wording of the Customs Union, dietary supplements include biologically active components of natural origin, as well as probiotics that are used with food or are present in its composition.
Thus, the state registration of dietary supplements is considered possible only in the following situations:
- The product description does not indicate that it is intended for medicinal purposes;
- The presented product does not have any medical or medicinal characteristics;
- Advertising of this food supplement (if it is already actively sold in other countries) does not contain incorrect information and calls to abandon a healthy diet.
If any inconsistencies are found, we strongly advise you to correct them before the registration of dietary supplements in Russia begins. In the absence of contradictions, it is important to make sure that the chemical and biological properties of the manufactured product meet the legal requirements (namely, TR CU 021/2011. Appendix No. 8).
documents for state registration of dietary supplements
Since the registration of dietary supplements is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the law, special attention is paid to the presence of all the necessary documentation and its proper compilation.

Control samples for registration of dietary supplements
When it comes to the registration of dietary supplements in Russia, special attention is paid to clinical trials, since they determine the possibility of a product entering the domestic market.
Therefore, when preparing control samples or test samples, the following important points should be considered:
- Standard lot weight. For one sample, it is 300 g. In the presence of a multicomponent food additive, several research centers can be involved in testing. This indicates the need to have an additional product of the same weight available;
- In the event of multiple changes to the formula of a drug, it is important to make sure that expert studies involve products manufactured in accordance with the updated version. If, after the experiments, results are obtained that do not correspond to those stated in the previously provided documents, you should not wait for a positive expert decision;
- Consideration should be given to the fresh appearance of the control samples and the observance of appropriate storage conditions. In another situation, the manufacturer can only count on a negative conclusion.
Medical device registration rules
- Based on the existing requirements of the Customs Union, the issuance of a registration certificate is carried out only to those organizations that carry out their activities in one of the states present in its composition. As for foreign suppliers, it is a prerequisite for them to conclude an agreement with a representative company;
- The validity period of the registration certificate is unlimited. That is, if earlier the manufacturer was issued a certificate of registration of food additives, then there is no need for an additional procedure;
- Since the state registration of dietary supplements is carried out by Rospotrebnadzor, only the above-mentioned federal body or its accountable structures can issue a corresponding certificate. If you receive a proposal for the preparation of documentation in the shortest possible time and at a low cost from any third-party institution, you can be sure that scammers are dealing with you. To find out information about accredited organizations, we suggest that you visit the official website of Rospotrebnadzor;
- In case of issuing a negative expert opinion or receiving a refusal to enter the manufacturer into the register of certificates of state registration of dietary supplements, funds for services rendered are not refundable. Information about the conditions established by the Customs Unions in relation to the declared product can be found in the public domain. Therefore, concerns about the compliance of the food additive with the requirements are completely borne by the customer;
- If a negative opinion is issued, it is necessary to carefully study the reasons for the refusal. After elimination of all inconsistencies, it is possible to reapply for a registration certificate.
