In social networks, some individuals and legal entities offer the services of issuing an accreditation certificate and a certificate of origin in the field of conformity assessment.

The State Service for Antimonopoly and Consumer Market Control under the Ministry of Economy urges entrepreneurs facing such offers to be careful and recommends not to use the services of intermediary individuals and legal entities offering these services. Entrepreneurs encountering such incidents are requested to inform the State Service.
