In 2021, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) established a working group on plant-based products. This allowed the approval of the ISO 23662:2021 standard, which sets out the definitions and technical criteria for food products and ingredients suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Thus, at the international level, it was recognized that plant-based products are a separate, independent type of food product.

Russian producers of vegetarian products began to actively undergo certification in certification bodies of the European Union and the United States. However, in mid-2022, foreign bodies stopped certifying and inspecting enterprises from Russia, and it became necessary to create our own infrastructure for this developing market.

In connection with this trend, in 2024, a national standard for vegetarian products was developed in Russia, harmonized with international requirements, and in the summer of 2024, a subordinate certification body, Roskachestvo – Vegan, was created on the basis of Roskachestvo and today received accreditation.

The certificate issued according to the new GOST R 71528–2024 certifies that the manufactured products fully comply with the requirements and principles of vegetarianism. This will allow Russian manufacturers to enter the global market with products that meet international quality and safety standards for vegetarians and vegans.

Products that have successfully passed certification in the certification body subordinate to Roskachestvo will be marked with a special sign. As of today, the sign in the form of a green letter "P" with a leaf in a green pentagon has been entered into the register. The sign may subsequently be changed as a result of marketing research.
