Here is a comprehensive overview of the Kazakhstan GGTN Permit to Use.
🔍 What is the GGTN Permit to Use?
The GGTN (Государственная лицензия на применение технических устройств на опасных производственных объектах) is a Kazakhstan Industrial Installation Use Permit. It is an official document issued by the Industrial Development and Industrial Safety Committee under Kazakhstan's Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development, certifying that specific technical equipment meets Kazakhstan's industrial safety requirements and is authorized for installation and operation at hazardous production facilities within the country.
📜 Legal Basis
Civil Defense Law of Kazakhstan (No. 188-V)
Law on Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities (No. 314, dated April 3, 2002)
Under these laws, organizations must obtain a Use Permit before deploying any technical equipment, technologies, or materials in hazardous industries.
⚙️ Equipment Scope
The GGTN applies to special industrial equipment used at hazardous production facilities, including but not limited to:
Pressure vessels (working pressure > 0.07 MPa or water temperature > 115°C)
High-pressure / high-temperature processing equipment & boilers
Pumps, valves, compressors, turbines, burners
Toxic/hazardous gas storage tanks
Lifting equipment (cranes, elevators, escalators, cable cars)
Automation and control systems
All electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres (Ex-proof equipment)
Oil & gas equipment
🆚 GGTN vs. EAC Certification
These are two separate and non-interchangeable compliance systems:
Comparison EAC Certification GGTN Permit to Use
Function Market access (customs clearance) Local installation & operation authorization
Scope Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Kazakhstan only
Core question "Can it be imported into Kazakhstan?" "Can it be installed and operated at the plant?"
Consequence of non-compliance Goods seized/returned at customs Installation, commissioning & operation prohibited
Key principle: EAC certification handles customs clearance first; GGTN is required afterward before the equipment can go live at the facility.
📋 Permit Types
Single Batch Permit: Issued for a specific batch of goods under a contract. It applies only to that batch but remains valid for the equipment's lifetime.
Series Permit: A long-term permit for batch/series equipment, valid throughout the certificate's term.
⏳ Validity
The GGTN Permit to Use is unlimited in duration (no expiration). However, any newly added equipment requires a fresh safety assessment.
📄 Required Documents
Applicants typically need to submit:
Application form & cover letter with brief equipment description
Equipment technical passport / product manual / technical specifications
Technical drawings
Material certificates & strength calculations
Pressure test reports & non-destructive testing (NDT) reports
Welding diagrams & electrical circuit diagrams
Operation manual & maintenance manual
Other certification (e.g., CE, ATEX, EAC) and test reports
ISO 9001 certificate, manufacturing license
Expert opinion on industrial safety compliance
📌 All technical documents, operation manuals, and nameplates must be provided in Russian or Kazakh.
⏱️ Processing Time & Cost
Processing time: Generally 3–4 months from submission of complete documentation, depending on equipment complexity.
Cost: Varies by equipment type and complexity; base service fees typically start from approximately 20,000 RMB.
🌍 Foreign Companies
The GGTN Permit to Use can be issued to foreign companies. However, non-Kazakh entities are generally required to designate a local authorized representative to assist with the application process.
⚠️ Penalties for Non-Compliance
Operating equipment at hazardous production facilities without a valid GGTN Permit is illegal and may result in:
On-site equipment seizure
Production shutdown
Substantial administrative fines
Criminal liability in severe cases
