EAC Certificate for Pumps

When is an EAC Certificate required for Pumps? 

An EAC certificate for pumps confirms compliance with the technical regulations of the EAEU member states. The confirmation of compliance is achieved through certification or declaration. The form of conformity assessment is carried out according to the safety requirements of the TR CU regulations.

An EAC certificate for pumps is a mandatory EAC approval document. The technical regulations (TR CU/EAEU directives) of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU member states) contain the mandatory safety regulations for the EAC certification of pumps. 

The following regulations are relevant for the certification of pumps:

• TR CU 004/2011 - Safety of Low Voltage Equipment
• TR CU 010/2011 - Safety of Machinery and Equipment
• TR CU 020/2011 - Electromagnetic Compatibility
• TR CU 012/2011 - Safety of ATEX Equipment
• TR CU 032/2013 - Safety of Pressure Equipment 

Depending on the area of application and safety requirements of the products, the EAC approval is carried out through the EAC declaration or the EAC certificate. In the certification of pumps, the sample products are sent to an accredited testing laboratory in the Eurasian Economic Union.

How is the EAC Certification of Pumps carried out?

Depending on the pump characteristics, pump design, and pump application area, the EAC approval of pumps is carried out through EAC certification or EAC declaration. Pumps with a nuclear drive, electric pumps, and chemical pumps are subject to EAC certification. 

All electric pumps are subject to EAC certification according to TR CU directives 004/2011 - Safety of Low Voltage Equipment, TR CU directive 010/2011 - Safety of Machinery and Equipment, and TR CU directive 020/2011 - Electromagnetic Compatibility. 

The following pumps are subject to certification:

1. Electric pumps
2. Chemical pumps
3. Nuclear pumps

How is the EAC Declaration of Pumps carried out?

The EAC declaration of pumps is carried out in accordance with the technical safety requirements of TR CU directive 010/2011 - Safety of Machinery and Equipment. All pumps, pump lines, and pump nozzles must be declared in accordance with the regulations of TR CU 010/2011 on the safety of machinery and equipment. 

The following pumps are subject to declaration:

1. Flow pumps
2. Displacement pumps

What Accompanying Documents are required? 

The accompanying documents for EAC certification and EAC declaration of pumps must be prepared in accordance with the regulations of the technical regulations (TR CU/EAEU). 

The following documents are required for the conformity assessment of pumps: 

• Technical passport
• User manual
• Safety assessment
• ISO quality management
• Manufacturer's test reports
• CE declaration of conformity
• Explosion hazard assessment
• Design documents
• Product drawings
• GOST certification
• Pressure vessel passport

For the approval of pumps used in explosion-hazardous production facilities, special requirements apply. To obtain the conformity confirmation for pumps in hazardous production facilities, an expert report for explosion-hazardous operations is required.

When is Representation for Certification needed? 

The regulations of the EAEU states require that the manufacturer must have a presence in the common EAEU area to apply for EAC certification. This necessitates representation for the application and execution of certifications.

How long are EAC Certifications valid?

The validity period of EAC conformity confirmations for pumps varies depending on the regulations of the technical regulations (TR CU/EAEU directives), approval scheme, type of manufacturing, and type of delivery, ranging from 1 to 5 years. 

The validity period of EAC certificates and EAC declarations is determined by the regulations of TR CU regulations. Detailed information on the validity period of EAC approvals can be found here: Validity period of EAC approvals.

What are the Costs of EAC Certification? 

The costs of EAC certification and EAC declaration depend on several factors: regulations of technical regulations (TR CU/EAEU directives), number of required tests, design of pumps, and composition of pumps. 

The EAC conformity confirmation for pumps can take several weeks to months. Further information on the costs of EAC certification and EAC declaration of pumps can be found here: Costs of EAC certification. 

How long does EAC Certification take? 

The execution of EAC conformity assessments is a time-consuming and costly process. The exact duration of approval depends on several factors, such as the type of pumps and the complexity of required tests and audits.
