Rosstandart told about the tricks of certification of Chinese trucks

Vehicles that do not meet the mandatory requirements of the Russian technical regulations, in some cases, may receive certification documents with "golden samples" of equipment. This was reported to Izvestia on February 12 by the press service of Rosstandart, commenting on the ban on sales and import of Shacman SX3258 trucks in Russia.

"In practice, there are cases of submitting "golden samples" for certification purposes, meeting all safety requirements. Unfortunately, subsequently, changes are made to the design of the subsequently sold vehicles, reducing production costs and, as a consequence, the level of safety", - explained in Rosstandart.

The federal agency emphasized that in the process of certification Shacman SX3258 for importation into the territory of the Russian Federation all mandatory requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union CU 018/2011 were confirmed.
