Mandatory Marking of Auto Parts: Preparation for New Requirements from 2026

24.03.2026

What is to be changed

According to the draft resolution:

  • From 1 September 2026, mandatory registration of participants in the auto parts turnover in digital marking system ‘Chestny ZNAK’ will be introduced.
  • From 1 December 2026, the following is planned:
    • beginning of mandatory product marking
    • filing of information on the putting of goods into circulation
  • The requirements apply to certain categories of automotive components, including:
    • vehicle spare parts
    • components for equipment with internal combustion engines
    • components for self-propelled vehicles.
  • The experiment will continue until 31 August 2026, during which certain categories of goods (e.g., spark plugs, filters, glass) are already being marked.

Thus, as early as 2026, the auto parts market will transition to mandatory digital traceability.

How it will influence companies

  • Integration with ‘Chestny Znak’ becomes mandatory
  • ERP systems (primarily 1C) will need to be modified or configured to handle marking codes
  • Warehouse accounting, logistics, and document management processes become more complex
  • The risk of operational errors increases without automation (errors in marking codes, statuses, and disposals).

In practice, the main difficulties are not related to registration in the system, but to restructuring accounting processes and data exchange between systems (ERP, WMS, EDI, ‘Chestny Znak’).

How we can help

SCHNEIDER GROUP has practical experience implementing marking solutions in ‘Chestny Znak’ based on 1C, including projects with high workloads and complex integration architectures.

We view marking not as a standalone regulatory requirement, but as part of a company's operating model, helping:

  • configure marking processes in 1C (putting into circulation, transfer, disposal)
  • integrate 1C with ‘Chestny Znak’, warehouse systems (WMS), and EDI
  • minimize errors when working with marking codes through automation and status monitoring
  • adapt logistics and accounting business processes to new requirements
  • ensure readiness for audits and data accuracy for regulators.

Our experience shows that timely preparation not only helps avoid operational disruptions but also improves the transparency and manageability of product flows.
