546-FZ: What to Check in Online Store Product Cards

I analyzed the changes introduced by 546-FZ for online stores: which products require links to certificates and declarations, why a PDF alone is insufficient, and what to verify in product cards.

I examined the requirements of 546-FZ and how to place links to certificates in product cards.
In this article

A product card contains photos, specifications, and a PDF of the certificate. It seems all necessary information is present. However, one more detail needs checking: can the buyer open the record for this document in the registry?

I analyzed what changed with the introduction of 546-FZ and what online store owners should pay attention to.

Starting September 1, 2026, when selling products subject to mandatory conformity confirmation via distance sales, the description must include a link to the registry record for the certificate or declaration. This requirement applies to both proprietary online stores.

Why a PDF Is Not Enough

A scan allows you to read the document, but you cannot determine its current status from it. A link to the registry helps verify the information and confirm that the record relates to the selected product.

You can keep the PDF for convenience, but add a clear link nearby: "Check the certificate in the registry" or "View the declaration." The link must open the specific record. A link to the registry's main page, where the buyer would have to search for the document themselves, does not suffice.

Does every product require a certificate?

No, the law does not mandate certification for the entire assortment. Requirements depend on the product: some items require a certificate, others a declaration, and some do not require mandatory conformity confirmation at all.

This must be determined based on applicable technical regulations and lists. If a supplier has not provided a document, you cannot simply mark it as "certification not required." First, you must identify which requirements apply to the specific product.

I would start by checking suppliers' documents: compare models, manufacturers, and details in the appendices with the store's assortment. The same brand does not automatically mean the certificate covers all its products.

How to place links in the product card

I find it convenient to have a separate "Certificates and Declarations" block showing the document name, number, and a link to the registry record. If needed, you can also include a downloadable file nearby.

For a store built on 1C-Bitrix, first check the capabilities of the installed template. The link might already be displayable via a product property or description without major customization.

If the catalog is large, I would set up a central document repository linked to the relevant items. This way, updating a single link would eliminate the need to manually edit dozens of product cards.

What to check after configuration

I would browse the site as a regular shopper and pay attention to several key points:

  • Whether the specific record in the registry opens correctly.

  • Whether the document matches the selected model.

  • Whether the links are visible on mobile devices and without logging into an account.

  • Whether an incorrect document appears when switching product configurations.

  • Whether the information persists after catalog updates and synchronization with 1C.

I would also assign a responsible person to ensure the information remains up to date. New shipments and model replacements are grounds for re-verifying the linked documents.

Start with a few product cards from different categories. If a certificate can only be found via a manager or through an independent search in the registry, this is a specific task for site improvements.
