EAC Negative Certificate for EAEU States

A negative EAC certificate is an official confirmation from a qualified certification service provider that the products in question are not subject to EAC certification requirements. This means that no conformity assessment is necessary for export to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union.

The issuance of a negative EAC certificate is required when it is not clearly defined to which product group and customs tariff number the products belong. This can occur when the products cannot be clearly classified, making it impossible to determine the EAC certification obligation and the certification method.

A negative EAC certificate can be requested by both authorities and companies. Consumers in Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union have the right to view a conformity certificate or a negative certificate.

Types of Negative EAC Certificates

There are three types of negative certificates:

• Negative fire safety certificate
• Negative certificate for customs authorities
• Negative certificate for trade

Negative EAC Fire Safety Certificate

A negative fire safety certificate is an official confirmation that the imported products are not subject to mandatory fire safety certification. Such a negative certificate is required upon import into the customs territory of Russia and EAEU states, as well as for the sale of already imported products.

Negative EAC Certificate for Customs Authorities

A negative certificate for customs authorities is required when exporting products that are difficult to classify, if it cannot be clearly determined whether the products are subject to mandatory GOST certification or EAC certification.

A negative certificate for customs authorities is a confirmation from the accredited certification organization that the imported products are not subject to mandatory EAC certification. Such a negative certificate is needed in cases where a clear classification of products is problematic.

Negative EAC Certificate for Trade
