The sanctions imposed on Russia: Due to the sanctions imposed on Russia, relevant persons and companies by the UK, the European Union and the US, URS has adjusted its protocols and processes and decided to temporarily suspend the operation of the office that serves customers in Russia.
What does the temporary suspension of the URS Russia office mean:
- The temporary suspension remains in effect until the sanction policy is changed, subject to a review based on the suspension (this notification will include regulatory/accreditation bodies, etc.).
- As you know, NO new clients who are Russian and/or resident in Russia can be accepted for certification.
- Any client who is Russian and/or based in Russia and is eligible for a recertification visit will not be referred.
- Existing clients who are Russian and/or based in Russia under supervision will not be referred.
- A formal list of clients who are suspended and who meet the above criteria, regardless of the URS office to which they are "tagged", will be published
