The Hygiene Certificate is officially known as the Sanitary-Epidemiological Conclusion. It is the document you need to prove that a product is safe for human health when used under normal conditions. It will allow you to produce or import the products concerned. You need a Hygiene Certificate for any products which may have a negative effect on public health during manufacture, storage, transport, or when being used. Sanitary-Epidemiological Conclusion is valid 1-5 years and is granted to a product manufacturer or the applicant (e.g. product distributor).
