EAC Conformity Assessment for EAEU States

The EAC conformity assessment refers to the requirements and procedures for the certification and declaration of products exported to the Eurasian Economic Union. The EAEU consists of five member states: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan.

When exporting to the EAEU member states, the question often arises as to whether the goods are subject to mandatory EAC certification! In this article, we will explain the mandatory EAC certification regulations in detail. 

Products Subject to Approval in EAEU States 

The EAEU Federal Office for Technical Regulations published a consolidated list of products subject to approval in 2012, which are subject to EAC certification and EAC declaration according to the TR CU/EAEU guidelines of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). 

The list contains information about EAC certification obligations for individual product groups, sorted by customs tariff number, that are imported into the EAEU states. The consolidated list of certification-required goods is regularly updated and expanded. 

Currently, several guidelines exist for the approval processes:

  1. TR CU/TR EAEU guidelines of the Eurasian Economic Union
  2. Guidelines and Federal Laws of the Russian Federation
  3. National GOST guidelines of the individual EAEU states
  4. ISO standards and GOST standards of the EAEU states 

According to Federal Law No. 184 of the Russian Federation on technical regulations, the relevant approval documents, such as TR EAEU guidelines or GOST standards, are used to determine the characteristics of goods for conformity assessment purposes. 

Furthermore, the regulations of the law on technical regulations present requirements for comprehensibility, labeling, and packaging of goods. 

List of Certification Required Products 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to include the content of the complete list of certification-required products in this article, as it would exceed the scope of the article. 

We will only explain the individual product groups here; if you have specific inquiries, please send us the corresponding customs tariff number and product description.
