Typical time: Maximum 30 calendar days for SGR issuance.
Corrections: The draft mentions a typical time of months to about 1 year, but the official maximum duration for the issuance of a state registration certificate (SGR) is 30 calendar days from the date of the applicant's request.

The technical regulation governing food additives, flavorings, and technological aids is TR CU 029/2012. “Технический регламент Таможенного союза "Требования безопасности пищевых добавок, ароматизаторов и технологических вспомогательных средств" (ТР ТС 029/2012)”	official eec.eaeunion.org
The conformity assessment for food additives is conducted in the forms of declaration of conformity or state registration for new types of products, as per TR CU 021/2011 and TR CU 029/2012. “Оценка соответствия пищевых добавок, в том числе комплексных, ароматизаторов и технологических вспомогательных средств требованиям TP ТС 029/2012 проводится согласно TP ТС 021/2011 в следующих формах: 1) подтверждение соответствия (декларирование соответствия) пищевых добавок... 2) государственная …”	official www.garant.ru
