History

On the 19th (6th in the Julian calendar) of October 1917, the Provisional Government passed the statute “On Chambers of Commerce and Industry.” The new legislation initiated the creation of territorial chambers, compulsory membership of all managing subjects, rigid boundaries for activities within one province, liabilities on performance of state functions, and the payment of a membership fee equal to four percent of annual tax payments.

On the 3rd of April 1923, the North-West Regional Chamber created the first Russian bureau of goods expertise, responsible for the determination of the quality of goods, evaluation of their cost, and the definition of normal losses, sizes of damage caused, and other services.

After the 1943 introduction of a new set of regulations, all power over independent expertise became the purview of the National Chamber of Commerce. In the post-war period, the number of surveys carried out grew significantly, and international trade connections strengthened. From 1958 the number of surveys initiated by foreign organisations grew. In 1964, a test centre, GEAZ SOEX, belonging to the expert organisation Soyuzexpertisa CCI RF, was created. The centre was accredited by the Federal Service for accreditation and added to the United register of test laboratories and centres of the Customs union.

In June 1999, the External Economic Union, Soyuzexpertisa CCI RF, was reformed into the autonomous non-profit organisation Soyuzexpertisa CCI RF, a wholly owned subsidiary of CCI RF.
