The EAC Certificate for agricultural machinery is a confirmation of product conformity. Agricultural machines, such as tractors and trailers used for agricultural purposes, are subject to EAC conformity assessment.
Agricultural machinery must be certified or declared in accordance with the technical regulations of the EAEU member states before being imported into these countries.
The following conformity confirmations are provided for agricultural machinery:
The conformity confirmation for agricultural machinery and equipment is carried out in accordance with the regulations of the technical regulations of the EAEU states.
The following guidelines are relevant for certification or declaration:
Annex NR 3 to the technical regulation TR CU 010/2011 lists all agricultural and forestry machines and equipment that are subject to certification or EAC declaration in accordance with the provisions of the technical regulation TR CU 010/2011.
The EAC certification of agricultural and forestry tractors and trailers is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the technical regulation TR CU 031/2012.
The regulations of TR CU 031/2012 only provide for the certification of agricultural and forestry machinery. The certification of pressure equipment is carried out in accordance with the provisions of TR CU 032/2013; any machine operating at a pressure of 0.5 Bar is considered a pressure device.
In the approval of agricultural and forestry machinery, various characteristics are examined, such as technical and mechanical safety, fire hazards, or noise hazards…
The EAC certification of agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment, such as machines and equipment for gardening, animal husbandry, or animal feed, requires mandatory certification and must occur before importation into the EAEU states.
According to TR CU 010/2011, there are two types of approval for agricultural and forestry goods: EAC certification and EAC declaration. The choice of approval procedure is always product-specific and is prescribed by the regulation TR CU 010/2011.
In the certification of agricultural machinery, a mandatory inspection control is provided. This checks whether the machine continues to comply with the provisions of TR CU 010/2011. Mandatory inspection controls must be conducted annually.
EAC declaration according to the provisions of the technical regulation TR CU 010/2011 is required for the confirmation of EAC conformity of tractors (Part 9, TR CU 010/2011).
The EAC certification of agricultural and forestry tractors, their trailers, and their components is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the technical regulation TR CU 031/2012 - Safety of Agricultural and Forestry Tractors and Trailers.

The certified agricultural and forestry machines, equipment, and installations are marked with the EAC marking of the Eurasian Economic Union. The EAC mark confirms conformity with the Eurasian Economic Union.
Requirements for EAC Marking:
The certification of agricultural and forestry machinery is highly product-specific and usually takes about 10 to 20 working days. The EAC declaration of agricultural machinery is significantly faster and typically only takes 5 to 7 working days.
The EAC certificates and EAC declarations for agricultural or forestry machinery, equipment, and installations can be issued for 1 to 5 years.
The costs of EAC certification for agricultural and forestry machinery, equipment, and installations are very product-specific and cannot be calculated in a lump sum. The cost structure arises from the mandatory prescribed tests and audits.
