About the EAC certification and declration

EAC (EuroAsian Conformity) - common obligatory certification/declaration system with the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU), Obligatory TR СU certification or declaration is necessary for products entry to the single market of the Eurasian Econimic Union member states. On the moment Eurasian Economic Union incudes such countires as:

01
The Republic of Armenia,
02
The Republic of Belarus,
03
The Republic of Kazakhstan,
04
The Republic of Kyrgyzstan,
05
The Russian Federation.

The process is held based on the list of the products of TR CU, as obligatory EAC certification or EAC declaration. This process is performed by specialised organizations with applicable accreditation that has been issued by EAEU members national accreditation servises - certification bodies (e.g. Russian national accreditation body is RusAccreditation). The conformity assessment schemes, in general, reminds the schemes of the EU's New and Global Approach (CE marking) that has been establshied in the European Union in the beginning of 90th of XX century. Dispite of some similiarities, of course, these systems have a lot of significant differences that must be known for successful entrance to EAEU markets. Import of products and commodities to the market of Eurasian Economic Union member states without certification / declaration (if it is obligatory by the requirements of the relevant TRCU) is strictly prohibited and  is prosecuted according to law. Currently,  40+ approved EAEU TRCU  cover most of the production and commodities importing the  countries of Eurasian Economic Union.

Regulations contain the requirements related to  safety and it's ensurance  and do not cover issues of quality level, consumer properties, etc,

Some products are subjects to obligatory conformity assessment by two or more Technical Regulations, and also requires state registration (e.g. chemicals, including household chemicals). The receipt and registration in a single register of a EAC certificate/declaration of conformity ensures the products unhindered market access to the single market of EAEU.
