Russian RFC certificate (RadioFrequency Compliance certificate)
is the conclusion about compliance of the characteristics of goods containing radio electronic equipment and high-frequency devices, obligatory when importing to the customs territory of the Russian Federation. The
RadioFrequency Compliance certificate should be made out for various wireless means of communication:
- Satellite stations and phones (portable, transportable or fixed) VSAT, ABS, Iridium/Inmarsat;
- Wireless control & alarm systems, including:
- vessel management systems,
- traffic control systems, wireless road infrastructure, intelligent transport systems,
- ship & shore automatic identification systems,
- remote control devices (ZigBee, Z-Wave);
- Relay stations;
- Mobile communications equipment GSM/GPRS, UMTS, LTE, WiMAX, etc .;
- Short-range devices, including:
- IEEE 802.15.x (Bluetooth, ZigBee, NanoNet),
- standards IEEE 802.11.x (Wi-Fi),
- radio frequency identification devices (RFID).
- Equipment for voice transmitting, including various radiostations, wireless microphones etc.
- GPS, GLONASS, COMPASS navigation receivers.
It is also necessary to make out the
RFC certificate on devices with built-in modules of wireless communication or radio modems:
- PCs, laptops, tablets and mobile phones;
- Printers & copiers;
- Cameras, camcorders & DVRs.
In some cases the
RFC certificate does not need to be made out. Usually this concerns goods using non radio frequency energy for wireless work. Thus, there is no need for registration of the
RadioFrequency Compliance certificate for goods with ultrasonic radiation (often medical equipment), infrared radiation or acoustic waves.
RFC certificate is not issued for x-ray machines and other types of products with ionizing radiation. In addition, the
RadioFrequency Compliance certificate is not required for goods, the characteristics of which are specified as operating frequencies of rotating or moving parts, the clock frequency of processors orREFresh rate matrices.

The provisions of international agreements take precedence over the relevant Russian laws and regulations do not supersede national legislation in this area. Therefore, the
RadioFrequency Compliance certificate is usually not the only necessary permit. According to international or national legislation, the
Russian EAC certificate, the
Russian CCC certificate, the
Russian FSS notification or a
Russian EAC license can be demanded in addition.
