The Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor system is a unified state database of veterinary electronic document management for successful control of the circulation of regulated products.
Why do we need Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor
The Mercury system was created to achieve the following goals:
- Ensuring traceability and control of veterinary products and the entire segment as a whole.
- Increasing the level of product safety, its quality and minimizing counterfeit products.
- Control of tax payments and financial flows in the country's economic sector.
The Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor information system controls the circulation of veterinary accompanying documents or otherwise VSD. If previously VSD were only in paper form, now all document flow is switching to an electronic system. In short, documents in the Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor system are called eVSD.
What is FSIS "Mercury"?
FSIS "Mercury" is an automated information system designed for electronic certification and ensuring traceability of goods subject to state veterinary supervision during their production, circulation and movement across the territory of the Russian Federation in order to create a unified information environment for veterinary medicine, increasing biological and food safety. Thus, the path of the goods can be traced along the entire production chain from field to counter. Moreover, market participants need to prepare veterinary accompanying documents (VSD) at each stage of the movement of goods.
Another challenge is replacing paper certificates. This will reduce the costs of entrepreneurs and reduce the human factor.
What is the Mercury System Rosselkhoznadzor
The Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor system for employees involves registration of three types of VSD:
- production documents (VSD, which are drawn up in the production of, for example, meat sausages);
- transport documents (VSD, issued with each subsequent movement of the same meat sausages);
- return documents (VSD when returning meat sausages from a store back to the supplier, for example, to a warehouse).
The state eVSD system in veterinary medicine is designed to simplify document flow, because paper copies of numerous certificates took a fair amount of time. Due to a unified information base, the procedure for obtaining and processing numerous documents throughout the country has been simplified.
It is now possible to track the entire life cycle of a product. When a buyer comes to the store, he will be able to find out detailed information about the product using a special application. Now you can find out who produced the product and when, whether it is safe for use or not, and much more. All information about the product is recorded in the Mercury system (Vetis subsystem) of Rosselkhoznadzor.
How Mercury works
Creating requests and tracking their status, for example, for transportation of products | Acts of non-compliance (inventory) |
Extinguishing eVSD | Applications for registration of eVSD and other transactions |
Authorized extinguishing of eVSD | Working with items |
Maintaining a product log | Trade turnover tracking |
Is it possible to delay the launch of the Mercury system?
The launch of the Mercury system has already been postponed: from January 1, 2021, it was postponed to July 1, 2021. Before this day, registration of electronic VSD is not necessary, but counting on a further delay after July 1, 2021 is wrong and dangerous for retail: then, in the first days of July, those who did not have time to register will no longer be able to send and receive cargo.
There is still time before July 1, but we recommend not delaying the transition to electronic certification. It will take some time to process your application for registration in the Mercury system. And then you will also need to master the complex system, get used to working in it and, possibly, train employees. Therefore, it is important to register as soon as possible. Don’t put it off until the last day - fill it out and send it to Rosselkhoznadzor right now.
When the Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor system is introduced
Initially, many major players in the market opposed the automated mercury system under the control of Rosselkhoznadzor, as they understood that the undeveloped system still had many inaccuracies and shortcomings and could lead to interruptions in supplies to retail chains. As a result, the program was launched in a voluntary mode. But now, from July 1, 2018, Mercury has become mandatory for all participants. Simply, you will not be able to participate in business if you do not have a personal account. By 2019, a complete transition to mercury for the remaining irresponsible citizens is planned.
Who is required to use
The following list of persons is determined:
- Production entities. Various kinds of meat processing plants, poultry farms and dairies. Everyone is required to make the transition from July 1 of this year, which has passed.
- Enterprises producing various types of seafood.
- Farmers.
- Shops and any other points of sale in the Russian Federation.
- Catering establishments.
- All logistics companies.
Who is obliged to use the Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor system?
Very often you can find the name “Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor information system HS”. In this case, XC is an abbreviation for the concept of an economic entity. What is meant? An economic entity is an individual or legal entity that takes part in any economic activity, in this case taking part in the circulation of veterinary cargo.
Mercury veterinary information system who should register:
- Retail stores are individual outlets and chain stores that sell products that fall under the new order.
- Warehouses, delivery companies in one way or another connected with the products included in the list.
- Kindergartens, schools, catering establishments producing products using regulated goods.
- Manufacturers, plants and factories, farms and others.
List of regulated products
Mercury system for catering. What it is?
From July 1, 2021, the veterinary accompanying document (VSD) will be replaced by eVSD. EVSD is essentially the same VSD, only in electronic format.
A paper VSD is a document on official letterhead with a signature and seal.
Electronic VSD (eVSD) is an electronic document generated in FSIS Mercury. Its main requisite is the UUID identifier.
There are 2 types of electronic VSD:
- Industrial (the raw materials from which the product is made do not need to be quenched).
- Transport (moving goods, extinguishing is required).
The circulation of EVSD will be carried out through the Federal State Information System (FSIS) Mercury. Electronic VSDs are created for each invoice item and stored in Mercury for three years.
FSIS Mercury is a large automated data system specially created to track cargo subject to state veterinary supervision during their production, circulation and movement throughout Russia. Catering enterprises are also required to switch to EVSD and FSIS Mercury.

It is important that from July 1, 2021, the list of products that are subject to veterinary certification will be expanded.
eVSD is issued during the production, movement, transfer of ownership of animals and products of animal origin. For example, on :
The full list of goods that are subject to VSD support is approved by the Order of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture.
What is eVSD damping?
Cancellation of eVSD is a procedure in which the status of a previously issued veterinary certificate is changed. This change can be made by the person who issued this certificate, a person authorized to conduct veterinary supervision, if the process for which the certificate was issued is completed successfully.
If the client has not accepted part of the goods, he can issue a return certificate for part of the arrived products when canceling the EDS. How to extinguish eVSD, read the article - Instructions for extinguishing EVSD.
