What is an EAC Certification?

In our video, we explain what an EAC Certification is and how and where to certify or declare your products for the introduction on the EAEU market.

Frequently asked questions about EAC certificates and declarations

1. What is an EAC certificate?

The EAC certificate of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is an official document, that proofs the conformity of the products with the harmonized technical regulations of the member states of the EAEU. The products, whose conformity with the technical regulations could be confirmed by the certificate of the EAEU, may be moved and sold in the whole customs area of the member states of the EAEU.

2. What is an EAC declaration?

The EAC Declaration of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is an official document that proofs, that the products meet the minimum requirements of the technical regulations of the EAEU. An EAC declaration is issued by the manufacturer, importer or an authorized representative and listed in the official register. Those products, whose conformity with the technical regulations are confirmed by the declaration, have the permission to be freely moved and sold in the whole customs territory of the member states of the EAEU.

3.What is the difference between EAC certificate and EAC declaration?

The EAC certificate can only be issued after a quality assessment, which has to be carried out by a certification body accredited in one of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. The certification is conducted on the basis of technical documentations, company-internal created test reports, or rather test reports provided by accredited test laboratories, as well as on basis of a manufacturing audit on site. The certificate is printed on an official pre-printed form, which has several forgery-proof elements and is authenticated by the signature and seal of an accredited body. The EAC certificate is usually issued for “complex” products that require an extensive control by the authorities.
With the EAC Declaration the manufacturer, importer or authorized representative declares the conformity of his products with the minimum requirements of the technical regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). As distinguished from the EAC certificate, the EAC declaration is issued by the manufacturer or importer himself. All necessary tests and analysis are or made by the manufacturer or in some cases by the laboratory. The applicant issues the EAC declaration himself on a usual piece of paper. The EAC declaration has to be listed in the uniform register of the EAEU by an accredited certification body of one of the member states of the EAEU.

Preparation of technical documentation for EAC certification

The technical documentation plays a major role in introducing new products to the Eurasian Economic Union. They not only provide the basis for conformity assessment, but are also crucial when commissioning, for example, a new machine. Especially the following documents are important:

Technical Passport

Safety justification

Instruction Manual

Safety Data Sheet

Test Report

Ignition Hazard Assessment

Technical expertise, diligence and accuracy in the preparation of the documents are one prerequisite for problem-free distribution and use of the products, machines or plants in the area of the EAEU. It is also mandatory to write the technical documentation in Russian or in the official language of the respective member country in which the product is to be distributed or used.

To avoid any problems, we will be happy to help you create new technical documents or check existing documents for completeness, as well as for linguistic and terminological correctness in Russian.

Type examination for EAC conformity assessment

An important step in the conformity assessment procedure is the testing of product samples, during which the conformity of the products with the respective Technical Regulations of the EAEU is verified. In the case of EAC certification, this may only be carried out in accredited laboratories and must follow specific rules. If it is an EAC declaration, the tests can also be carried out in non-accredited laboratories. A test report is then prepared, which contains the test results as well as information about the manufacturer and the test method.

There are some important points to consider in both the shipment of the samples and the testing process itself. Unfortunately, some unserious certification bodies have also gained access to the market, so great care must be taken when choosing a certification body. To ensure that the sample examinations run smoothly, we support you in

the selection of suitable samples for testing,
customs clearance
and referral to trusted certification bodies and testing laboratories.
