GOST R 56836-2016 establishes the rules and procedures for conformity assessment and mandatory certification of cement in the Russian Federation, including applicable certification schemes, sampling and inspection control procedures, requirements for testing and documentation, criteria for marking and certificate issuance, and special provisions covering imported cement consignments. It complements technical specifications for cement by defining the certification/assessment process.

Key topics and requirements

• Defined certification schemes and the conditions under which each scheme applies (including type certification and batch/lot certification).
• Requirements for sampling, inspection control and border/batch checks for imported cement.
• Obligations and competency criteria for certification bodies and testing laboratories.
• Documentation and record-keeping requirements for certificates, test reports and factory production control.
• Rules for marking, labeling and use of conformity/market circulation marks on cement products.
• Procedures for surveillance, periodic re-evaluation and actions on non‑conformity.
• Cross-references to cement technical standards used as normative references during certification.

Typical use and users

Used by cement manufacturers, importers and exporters, certification bodies and notified conformity-assessment organizations, independent testing laboratories, construction-product regulatory authorities, and procurement or quality departments that require evidence of conformity for cement placed on the Russian market.

Related standards

Closely related to national and interstate technical standards that specify cement properties and test methods (for example GOST 31108 series and other cement technical specifications) and to general conformity-assessment standards and rules applied in the Russian system (e.g., ГОСТ Р 1.0 and related normative documents). The 2016 rules have been superseded by the 2023 edition which reorders some procedures and labeling requirements.
