RTN (
ROSTECHNADZOR ) Approvalsrequired in
Industry-hazardous areas,
during flammable and
exploitive processes and usage of related equipment and all other fields
which may cause danger for human being and ecology. These Approvals give
right to the Russian end-user to
start-up the mentioned equipment or facility for exploitation, also, the
facility enables to connect to local energy energy (natural gas,
electricity).
Shortly, RTN
Approval is a kind of governmental permission to use equipment or to perform the
process which is generally defined above. (Permit to Use)
RTN Approvals for
Industrial Safety are provided by governmental organization "Federal
Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision" basis on
the Legislation “Industrial Safety in Hazardous Industrial Facilities"
No: 116-ФЗ (Federal Law) dated 21st of July,
1997.
RTN
Permit to Use known as GGTN
( GOSGORTECHNADZOR )
till the 2004 year, recently carried on to the federal platform of Russia
and its name
changed to the RTN (
ROSTECHNADZOR ).
Main fields
which require RTN Approval :
Valves and similar products used in Oil Industry, Rafineries and gas
systems.
Steam and Gas Turbines
Load and
Passenger Lifts, Escalators
Industrial and Construction
Hoists,
Cranes, Elevators
Air and
Gas Compressors
Pressure
Vessels and other systems under pressure
(Pressure >0,07mPA)
All

Ex-Proof, ATEX
property
Special
storage Units : Liquid Gas and fuel storage, other
storages which contains flammable and
exploitive materials
Heat
Generators by using gas or fuel burners in the process, high temperature resources
Dangerous welding processes and related equipment
All
equipment which is used in Oil Industry, Rafineries
Mining
Industry and underground processes,
relevant
equipment
There is no any different type
of RTN Approval. However, its content is very important and differs
base on the place of the usage which is written in the application. We shall
support you for issuing of the correct application.
RTN Approvals can be issued
for certain equipment or combined industrial systems, or lines (facilities)
overall, this situation depends on the application content.
RTN for Single
Shipment/Object : This permission is provided for certain equipment, for
limited quantity (which is written in the shipment documents) to a certain
object, facility or project.
RTN Approvals are
issued for single shipment or facility according to declared working
LIFESPAN*
Its validity depends on this declaration.
*(Estimated Working
Life of Equipment)
RTN for Serial Production:
This permission is provided for certain equipment, for unlimited quantity
to any object, facility or project in Russia.
RTN Approvals are
issued for serial production for 5
years validation period.
Volume of the work and
time frame to obtain them nearly the same for shipment and serial
production RTN Approvals, so that we offer to apply not for shipment,
but for serial production and highly recommend to any producer to start
RTN procedure as early as possible (at least 6 months until
planned usage of the equipment) to avoid delays of start -up the
facility or getting energy.
RTN Approval process is a long
procedure, and before it, there are some prior certifications and issues
should be solved beforehand; they shown below:
GOST R Certificate,
to get RTN Approval, GOST Certificate should issued as a
prior Certificate. Product content will be the same in RTN Approval and
GOST Certificate.
Commissioning Test,
according to the latest regulation which is valid from September 2008,
published by "Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear
Supervision", after arrival and installation of the equipment or
facility will be visited by Expert and witness of Official RTN Inspector
planned tests should be performed.
Passports and
Instruction Manuals, should be prepared for subject equipment. These
information will be submitted to RTN with other documents all together.
E-marketci prepare (technical translation and re-organization) these
documents as a Consultant.
Very detailed technical
documentation folder, should be prepared
and submitted to RTN, this work also will be performed by E-marketci
Engineers.
Pattern Approval
(Metrology Certificate) for Measuring Equipment,
should be provided by
authorized bodies if they are exist on the equipment or facility. Their
types, models, quantities should be defined before start the work,
because many major companies already may have this certificate
and if you choose such equipment, you do not have to re-issue them. More Information
Ex-proof GOST R
Certificate,
also required if the working location of the equipment designed and
accepted as a Hazardous Area (for Explosive atmospheres). If your
Ex-proof rated equipment have ATEX Certificate, this certification
problem will be solve more easier.More Information
"Federal Service for
Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision"
accepts documents only in 100% RUSSIAN Language for RTN
Application.
All of processes which mention above can be performed in the same
time. For RTN Processes, technical
characteristics and engineering calculations of the product will be
checked by the experts.
1. Fill our
GOST
R
Application Form. One of our
representatives will contact you as soon as possible.
2.
Beside this form, detailed Technical Information is required; to identify,
classify equipment and they will help us to make decision for our future
actions to fulfill your work.
3. Your
commercial requirements and subject products will be evaluated and you will
receive a detailed quotation including all terms, price and process steps
related for your RTN Approval.
4. We shall give you a
"Required Documentation List" and rest of the work depends
on your effort to obtain and sending themto our
engineers.
Sufficient documentary is more important than financial issues.

samples are not required in the beginning. However,
very
detailed technical
documentation and engineering details will be asked during the process.
These material will be evaluated, Passport, Instruction
Manuals and Expertise Report will be prepared by
E-marketci
RTN
experts and Engineers.
