Does anybody know or know where to find the requirements for Russian ice axe tests?

As I bought an ice axe from Russia some 10-15 years ago and cannot remember their ratings, I just wondered if somebody knew (or knew where to find) descriptions of the Russian ice axe test requirements?

For example, UIAA B/"Basic" axes can take 250kg sideways shaft/head interface load; UIAA T/"Technical" axes can take 400kg etc.

As far as I know, there are no specific ice axe test requirements in Russia. I didn't find any GOST standard for an ice axe as well. So, if your ice axe isn't UIAA certified you can just guess about whether it's reliable or not.
