This EAC labelling checklist is aimed at manufacturers who export products to the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. It compactly summarizes all relevant requirements for conformity assessment in accordance with the Regulations and serves as a practice-oriented aid in the certification process.

Is an EAC Marking required for your Product?

The EAC marking (Eurasian Conformity) is required if a product is subject to the requirements of Technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union and is intended for export to the EAEU countries. These guidelines define the basic safety and quality requirements for numerous product groups, including machinery, electrical equipment, personal protective equipment, cosmetics and many other products.

An EAC marking is mandatory in particular if there is a conformity assessment obligation for the respective product. This means that a certification or declaration procedure must be carried out before exporting or placing it on the market in the EAEU countries in order to prove compliance with the applicable technical regulations.

When is EAC labeling required:

  • The product falls under a specific technical set of rules
  • There is a mandatory conformity assessment for the product

In case of doubt, a professional examination by a specialized service provider is recommended in order to avoid legal risks and delays during export. We check within 24 hours whether your products are subject to the EAC certification obligation and whether there is an EAC marking obligation.

Which EAC Conformity Assessment Methods are there?

  1. EAC certificate: For safety-relevant products
  2. State registration: For cosmetics and food
  3. EAC Declaration: For less risky products

What are the Requirements for EAC Labelling?

The EAC marking confirms the conformity of a product with the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union. It is mandatory for many product groups and a prerequisite for placing it on the market within the EAEU countries (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan). Prerequisite: Only products that have received a valid EAC certification or EAC declaration may be provided with the EAC mark.

Installation requirements for the EAC mark:

  • The EAC symbol consists of the three letters E-A-C
  • It must be permanently, visibly and legibly attached
  • The marking must be monochrome and color-constant
  • It is required on each individual production unit
  • The sign must also be in all accompanying documents
  • The minimum size is 5 mm in height and width
  • Manipulations of the EAC sign are inadmissible

Manufacturers are obliged to check on their own responsibility whether their product complies with the applicable regulations before affixing the EAC mark. An inadmissible marking can lead to market bans, fines or recalls.

When do you need a Representation in the EAEU Countries?

Authorized EAEU representation is required for the implementation of conformity assessment processes such as certification or declaration.

  1. Authorized representative for EAC certification
  2. Authorized representative for EAC declaration

In the EAEU, only one company with its registered office within the EAEU may carry out a conformity assessment or act as an applicant. The representative office assumes legal responsibility for compliance with regulations.

What does an authorized representative do:

  1. Acts on behalf of the manufacturer
  2. Communication with market surveillance authorities
  3. Keeps EAC documentation
  4. Registered EAC Approvals

No legally valid conformity assessment is possible without a designated representative if the manufacturer is based outside the EAEU Member States.

Which EAC Operating Documents are required?

  • Technical passport
  • Security analysis
  • User manual
  • Risk assessment
  • Test report 

As a rule, the operating documents within the framework of an EAC certification must be kept for at least 10 years after the expiry of the validity of the certificate or the last manufacture of the product. Legal basis: Technical regulations of the EAEU states (e.g. TR CU 010/2011) as well as the regulations for conformity assessment such as decision number 293 of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

The operating documents must be kept either with the manufacturer or with the authorized representative based in an EAEU state. The operating documents must be submitted to the market supervisory authorities for examination at any time upon request.
