Russia is introducing a point system to confirm the Russian status of microchips. The authorities' initiative aims to combat "re-stickering" — the practice of relabeling imported components.
The Russian government plans to replace the level-based assessment of integrated circuits (ICs) with a point system. According to the draft amendments, the status of "Russian" microchips will be assigned based on criteria such as: development in the country, the use of domestic software, and complex functional blocks (SF-blocks).
We have done this to support our integrated circuit manufacturers on the one hand, and to block unscrupulous colleagues who are engaged in re-stickering on the other
Currently, ICs are divided into two levels. The first requires a full cycle of development and production in Russia without foreign circuit solutions. The second allows manufacturing in foreign factories, but subject to Russian design documentation.
