Certified products are marked with an EAC Mark. With this, EAC Conformity with the Technical Regulations (TR CU) of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is confirmed. Cosmetic products declared to be in accordance with the provisions of TR CU 009/2011 must be labelled with the EAC Marking before being placed on the market.

The marking must be applied to each packaging unit of EAC certified perfumes and cosmetic products and/or shipping documents. The EAC Marking must remain visible and legible throughout the shelf life of the product. The marking may only be applied when the requirements of Technical Regulation TR CU 009/2011 are met.

The label must contain the following information:

Product Name
Information about the Manufacturer
Information about the Importer
Information about Special Precautions

Duration and Costs of EAC Certification

The preparation time for the EAC Declaration according to Technical Regulation TR CU 009/2011 varies greatly depending on the type of product. In most cases, about 30 working days are required in order to apply for the EAC Declaration. For detailed information about the EAC Declaration according to TR CU 009/2011, please contact us. We will be glad to help you.

After the successful certification process, you will first receive a digital version of the EAC Approval by e-mail. The original EAC Approval will be sent to the customer via document shipment.

Authorized Representation for EAC Certification

According to the regulations of the EEU States, it is required that the manufacturer must have a registered office in the Common Economic Territory in order to apply for EAC Certification. Thus, a representative of the manufacturer is required if the manufacturer does not have an establishment in the Eurasian Economic Union.

The representative must be located in one of the member states of the Customs Union. Often, a business partner or a distributor of the manufacturer from one of the states of the Eurasian Economic Union acts as the applicant. It is necessary to take into account that afterwards only this partner has an exclusive right of distribution for the entire certification period and must issue an authorization of sales activity for all other distributors.

In such situations, the manufacturer becomes dependent on his business partner, who acted as the manufacturer's contractual person during the EAC Declaration. If you wish to remain independent of individual distributors, we can provide you with a contract person. This task can be carried out by our Russian branch.

After successful EAC Certification, we will an authorization of sales activity to all your business partners. If, over time, you decide to part with certain distributors, we will support you in your decisions and withdraw the authorization accordingly.

Legal Basis of EAC Certification

The establishment of the Customs Union between the individual States of the EEU has harmonized the norms and standards of individual states into a single system. EAC Certification processes are applied for and carried out in all participating states of the Eurasian Economic Union according to the same principle. The establishment of the standard forms for the preparation of documents within the Customs Union N896 provides the legal basis for these processes.

In addition, the legal framework of EAC Certification was laid by the decision on Technical Regulations in the Customs Union N319 and the decision on unified standardization within the Customs Union N620. The minimum safety requirements for cosmetics, care products and perfumes are contained in the Technical Regulation TR CU 009/2011 On the Safety of Perfumes and Cosmetic Products.
