The Russian River Register and the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping are organizations that classify and certify ships and various floating objects. They have their own registered voluntary certification systems. These systems confirm conformity of materials, technical devices and other products to normative documents developed by the Registers themselves as well as to various standards, technical specifications, contractual terms and conditions which set requirements to the objects of certification.
Voluntary certification is carried out in order to guarantee the safety of ships during navigation, people and cargoes during their transportation on the sea and inland waterways, to contribute to environmental protection.
