Commercial real estate certification is an important process for confirming the safety, quality, and sustainability of a facility. To obtain certification, you must contact specialized certification bodies, organizations dealing with environmental and quality standards, and government agencies regulating the construction and operation of real estate.

The real estate certification system in the Russian Federation includes:
