Market context

State registration:
why you cannot operate without it

Without a state expert review, it is not possible to legally manufacture (except for export), import or sell any products for the agricultural sector, from conventional agrochemicals to biological products and organic fertilisers

Digital monitoring

With the introduction of the Federal State Information System of Traceability of Pesticides and Agrochemicals (FGIS "Saturn"), all movements of pesticide and agrochemical batches are recorded throughout the chain, from the manufacturer to the end user. Discrepancies are detected automatically.

Prohibited without a registration certificate

If a substance is not in the Ministry of Agriculture's State Catalogue, any operations involving it within the Russian Federation are illegal. Manufacturing, import and sale are all unlawful until registration.

Substantial penalties

Sales without authorisations lead to product seizure, prolonged logistics delays and retail chains refusing to accept batches. The consequences far outweigh the costs of registration.
Our solution

We handle the entire process:
from the dossier to inclusion in the State Catalogue of Pesticides and Agrochemicals Permitted for Use in the Russian Federation

Registration involves more than submitting a single application. It is a sequence of steps requiring coordination with specialist research institutes, accredited laboratories and three federal authorities: the Ministry of Agriculture, Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing) and Rosprirodnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources).

An error at any stage means going back and losing resources already invested. We know this process and eliminate common bottlenecks before they become a problem.

  • Preparing the dossier: technical specifications (TU) for domestic products and translations for imported products
  • Liaising with research institutes during biological trials
  • Organising the toxicological and hygienic assessment and environmental expert review
  • Organising public consultations and obtaining the state environmental expert review conclusion
  • Support through inclusion in the State Catalogue of Pesticides and Agrochemicals and registration of container labels
Stages of our work

Agrochemical registration stages:
from application to inclusion in the State Catalogue

The official procedure comprises thirteen consecutive stages.
We guide clients through each one.

1

Application for the Ministry of Agriculture's registration trials plan

Preparing technical specifications (TU) for domestic products or translating contracts and specifications for imported products. Submitting an application to the Ministry of Agriculture for inclusion in the official registration trials plan.
2

Biological efficacy trials

Developing a trial programme and obtaining its approval from the Ministry of Agriculture. For imported products, obtaining permission to import samples and arranging their customs clearance. Organising trials at accredited research institute sites under field or greenhouse conditions.

This stage is not required for standard domestically manufactured fertilisers: composted manure, granulated poultry manure, straight or standard mineral fertilisers (ammonium sulphate, ammophoska, UAN-32 (urea ammonium nitrate solution), etc.).
3

Assessment of biological efficacy

Analysing the results of field and greenhouse trials. Determining optimal application rates for specific crops and conditions of use.
4

Toxicological testing

Investigating acute and chronic toxicity: irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, inhalation toxicity, sensitising and cumulative properties. The hazard class is established for all routes of entry into the body.
5

Toxicological and hygienic assessment (expert review)

State expert review of toxicological data. Assessing human health risks from occupational contact with the product and from its residues in crop products.
6

Obtaining Rospotrebnadzor's opinion

Issuance of an official opinion by the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing. The document confirms the product's safety for humans and is mandatory before proceeding to subsequent expert reviews.
7

Ecotoxicological testing

For agrochemicals, testing effects on earthworms and soil microorganisms. For pesticides, the scope is broader: testing on bees, birds, aquatic organisms and plants may be required.

The specific scope of testing is determined when developing the programme and depends on the product's type and intended use.
8

Environmental assessment of conditions of use

Preparing environmental impact assessment (EIA) materials. Organising and conducting public consultations in the regions where the product is intended to be used.
9

State environmental expert review

Obtaining a positive state environmental expert review conclusion from Rosprirodnadzor. The review confirms that the product's use is acceptable in terms of its impact on components of the natural environment.
10

Ministry of Agriculture expert reviews

The Ministry of Agriculture brings together the results of all completed biological, toxicological and environmental tests and conducts an expert review of the conditions of use. The entire documentation package is checked for completeness and accuracy.
11

State registration

The registration decision and issuance of a certificate of state registration. From this point, manufacturing, import and sale of the product within the Russian Federation become legal.
12

Registration of container labels

Developing and approving container label designs with instructions for safe use, storage and transport. Approved labels are mandatory for all product forms.
13

Submitting samples to TsOK APK

Submitting product samples to the Federal Centre for Agricultural Products Safety and Quality Assurance (TsOK APK). The final stage of the registration procedure.
Authorisation documents

Documents obtained through agrochemical registration

Three mandatory documents that provide legal market access.

Inclusion in the State Catalogue of Pesticides and Agrochemicals Permitted for Use in the Russian Federation

Confirms the product's efficacy and safety. Without it, any operations involving the product are illegal. The basis for all subsequent authorisations.

Declaration of conformity (GOST R)*

Issued for most agrochemicals under resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation. Registered in the register of the Federal Accreditation Service (Rosakkreditatsiya). Requires inclusion in the State Catalogue of Pesticides and Agrochemicals and completed laboratory tests.
* - for mineral and organomineral fertilisers with NPK (containing nitrogen and/or phosphorus and/or potassium)

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

A mandatory technical document* accompanying the substance during transport, storage and use. Specifies all measures for safe handling of the product throughout the supply chain.
* - except for microbiological products
Industry digitalisation

Digital monitoring
of pesticide
and agrochemical circulation

With the transition to electronic registers, paper registration certificates are being replaced by legally valid electronic extracts. FGIS "Saturn" records every movement of pesticide and agrochemical batches throughout the chain, from the manufacturer to the end user.

We monitor changes in the regulatory environment, from updates to environmental expert review rules to requirements for notifying beekeepers in advance of field treatments. Clients' documentation is adapted before new requirements take effect.

Legal basis: Federal Law of 19.07.1997 No. 109-FZ "On the Safe Handling of Pesticides and Agrochemicals". Supervision: the Ministry of Agriculture, Rospotrebnadzor and Rosprirodnadzor.

Key regulatory changes

FGIS "Saturn" is a mandatory digital platform for recording the movement of all pesticide and agrochemical batches
Electronic registers replace paper certificates with legally valid electronic extracts
Environmental requirements are regularly tightened, including requirements to notify beekeepers of field treatments
State Catalogue is the only lawful source of substances permitted for use in the Russian Federation
Timelines and resources

Agrochemical registration timelines and costs.
Why an error at the start costs the most

Typical timelines

Fertilisers not requiring field registration trials: from 1 to 2 years
Those requiring trials: from 2 to 2.5 years.
Pesticides: from 3 years
Timelines depend critically on the accuracy of the dossier at initial submission
Delays most often occur during the environmental expert review because of the complexity of organising the EIA and public consultations

What makes up the costs

State registration fees
Research institute and accredited laboratory services
Organising and conducting public consultations
Preparing multi-volume registration dossiers
Developing EIA materials for the environmental expert review
A documentation error at any stage means returning to the previous step and losing resources already invested. Given the heavy administrative burden and the risk of errors, many manufacturers delegate this task to specialist consulting companies that support the procedure at every stage. Consulting support reduces this risk throughout the procedure.
Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

The main stages are identical. The difference lies in the dossier: technical specifications (TU) are developed for domestic products, while contracts and specifications are translated for imported products. The scope of biological trials and expert reviews is the same in both cases.
Except for export, no. Manufacturing, import and sale before inclusion in the State Catalogue are illegal, regardless of the stage of the procedure. This is a direct requirement of Federal Law No. 109-FZ.
We begin by reviewing your existing document package, identifying gaps and mapping out the remaining registration steps. This avoids spending resources on preparing materials that are already complete.
We guarantee that the procedure is handled correctly in accordance with all requirements of current legislation. The final decision rests with the federal authorities (the Ministry of Agriculture, Rospotrebnadzor and Rosprirodnadzor) and is outside our control.
FGIS "Saturn" is a mandatory state digital platform for recording the movement of all pesticide and agrochemical batches. Registration in the system is mandatory for all market participants. We help you complete this stage as part of our comprehensive support.
