The EAC Certificate for cables, wires, and cords is a conformity confirmation for export to the EAEU states. The EAC certification for cables and wires is carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Technical Regulations (TR CU/EAEU) of the EAEU states.
The regulations contain safety requirements regarding the manufacture, transport, storage, and disposal of cables. The aim of the regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union is to protect life and health in the EAEU states.
The following guidelines are relevant for the certification of cables:
The EAC Certification of cables is carried out in accordance with the regulations of the EAEU states. Cabling and wire connections with a voltage over 1000V are subject to mandatory EAC declaration. All other cabling and wire connections are subject to EAC certification.
According to the regulations of the Technical Regulation TR CU 004/2011 - EAC Certification for Low Voltage Equipment, mandatory EAC certification is required for cabling with a voltage of 50V to 1000V for alternating current and from 75V to 1500V for direct current.

Certain cabling and wire connections are not subject to mandatory certification. Therefore, it makes sense to conduct voluntary certification; EAC certification and EAC marking are clear proofs of safety and quality.
Furthermore, it must be considered that all cable lines require an EAC Fire Safety Certificate in addition to the EAC certificate and GOST certificate. The fire safety certification of cables is carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Technical Regulation TR EAEU 043/2017 and GOST standard 31565/2012.
The following properties of cables are examined during EAC fire safety certification:
Through fire safety certification, the manufacturer of cables obtains an official confirmation that the cable meets the minimum safety requirements of the EAEU states.
It is also possible to obtain GOST certification and GOST declaration for certain types of cables. The EAC certification of cables is required for heating cables, certain power cables, and non-insulated copper wires. The GOST declaration is carried out for power cables with paper insulation or plastic insulation.
The execution of an EAC conformity assessment is a time-consuming and costly process. The exact costs depend on several factors. The specific approval conditions are always calculated based on the product.
The following factors can influence the prices of certification:
