The experiment on labeling radio electronics in Russia may be extended to laptops, smartphones and boards. The corresponding draft resolution, prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, has been published on the portal of regulatory legal acts.
The ministry proposes to conduct the experiment from February 29, 2024 to April 30, 2025. Sockets, conductors, lamps - a total of 15 items - were included in the electronics labeling experiment that started in December 2023.
Labeling will protect consumers from counterfeiting
In addition, the department believes that labeling will help remove manufacturers who pretend to sell goods made in Russia from participating in tenders. The Ministry of Industry and Trade hopes that the experiment will stimulate the production of domestic equipment.
Several electronics manufacturing companies operate in Russia. In November 2023, Aquarius presented Aquarius Cmp NS616 business laptop, which is assembled in Tver. The Ural company Echips showed the laptop of the same name, calling it "reliable and indestructible."
