Product Certification for Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union

One EAC certificate or declaration opens all five Eurasian Economic Union markets – Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. PCN coordinates testing, the EAEU applicant and the certification body for Indian and international manufacturers.

How product regulation works in Eurasia

Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan share one set of technical regulations under the Eurasian Economic Union. Regulated products need an EAC certificate or declaration of conformity issued to an applicant registered in a member state, after which the EAC mark is valid across the whole Union.

Which EAEU technical regulations apply to your product?

EAEU technical regulations are organised by product type. Many products fall under more than one, so a single EAC document often covers several regulations at once.

RegulationCovers
TR CU 004/2011Low-voltage electrical equipment (50–1000 V AC, 75–1500 V DC)
TR CU 020/2011Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of technical equipment
TR EAEU 037/2016Restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products
TR CU 010/2011Safety of machinery and equipment
TR CU 032/2013Equipment operating under excess pressure
TR CU 012/2011Equipment for explosive atmospheres
TR CU 008/2011Safety of toys
TR CU 017/2011Light-industry products (textiles, footwear, leather goods)

EAC Certificate vs EAC Declaration

Higher-risk products need an EAC Certificate of Conformity, issued by an accredited EAEU certification body after testing and, in many schemes, an assessment of production. Other products can use an EAC Declaration of Conformity, which the applicant issues on the basis of test reports and registers in the EAEU unified register. For serial production, both are usually issued for up to 5 years.

In every case, the applicant must be a legal entity registered in an EAEU member state, either the manufacturer’s authorised representative or the importer. PCN can help arrange a reliable applicant if you do not yet have one.

Step-by-step EAC process

  1. Classification: map the product and HS code to the applicable regulations and the certificate or declaration route.
  2. Applicant: appoint the EAEU-registered applicant or authorised representative.
  3. Technical file: specifications, drawings, user manual (in Russian), risk assessment and existing test reports.
  4. Testing: samples tested in an EAEU-accredited laboratory.
  5. Issue and registration: the certificate or declaration is issued and entered in the unified register.
  6. Marking: EAC mark and Russian-language labelling on the product and packaging.

Is one EAC certificate valid in all member countries?

Yes. An EAC certificate or declaration registered in the unified register is valid across Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
