A practical approach is to consult the current product lists under Russian Government Resolution No. 982 and relevant TR CU regulations or work through a certification agency to determine whether your packaging needs mandatory or voluntary certification.

During the pilot, you should track line efficiency, damage rates in transit, color consistency, and feedback from co\u2011packers or distribution centers; if KPIs are stable for several cycles, you can progressively ramp up volume or add SKUs.
