Rospotrabendzor's control over compliance with the licensing regime at checkouts made it possible to prevent the sale of 2 million packages of illegal motor oils. This mechanism began to operate on October 1, 2026 for the retail sale of motor oils, lubricants and special vehicle fluids subject to mandatory marking. During the season of preparing the vehicle for winter, Rospotrabendzor recommends that drivers check the label of engine oil and pay attention to compliance with the rules of its sale:
The sale must be made through an online cash register.
The DataMatrix marking on the packaging is scanned.
The name of the purchased product is indicated on the receipt. Do not purchase car fluids in retail stores where they do not issue a cash receipt and the service is performed only in cash. Rospotrabendzor continuously monitors compliance with the licensing regime at 80,400 retail establishments that sell automotive fluids. Of these, in October 2026, 77.2% did not commit a single violation of the permit regime at the checkout. In relation to systematic violators, the territorial bodies of Rospotrabendzor carry out preventive measures and checks that reduce the number of counterfeits. The buyer can test the oil himself before the purchase: 1. Open the free Simen Ishar mobile app and scan the data matrix code on the package.
2. Check the name and manufacturer in the appendix with the information on the label. 3. If the code cannot be read, is missing, the app reports a problem, or the data does not match, decline the purchase.
4. You can report a violation please: specify the address of the store, describe the situation and attach a photo of the product and the labeling. Controlling products in circulation and protecting the consumer's rights to high-quality and safe products remain the top priority in Rospotrabendzor's work. Rospotrabendzor in MAX.
