The TR will enter into force at the same time the existing TR on footwear labelling (adopted by Decree No. 632 of 9 June 2011) is repealed.
As of 1 March 2020 footwear market participants (manufacturers, sellers, importers, etc.) are prohibited to place on the Russian market or make available on the Russian market any footwear that does not have the required identification marks (signs).
As of 1 October 2018, the amendments to the EAEU Technical Regulation on the Safety of Products for Children and Adolescents entered into force.
