TR CU 010/2011 On safety of machinery and equipment

The Technical Regulation TR CU 010/2011 On safety of machinery and equipment stipulates minimum requirements for the safety of machinery and equipment during their entire lifecycle: during their design, manufacture, installation, storage, transport, commissioning, operation, decommissioning, and disposal. The focus is on protecting life, health, property and the environment.

Compliance with the requirements of the technical regulation TR CU 010/2011 On safety of machinery and equipment is a prerequisite for successful access to the Russian and Eurasian market.

Although the requirements of the Technical Regulation TR CU 010/2011 have been coordinated with the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, they are not identical.

Adopted on October 18, 2011
Came into force on February 15, 2013

On March 15, 2015, the Technical Regulation TR CU 010/2011 rendered the national standards of the technical regulation such as GOST or Russian TR invalid.

Area of application of TR CU 010/2011 On safety of machinery and equipment

The Technical Regulation TR CU 010/2011 applies to machines and equipment. According to the Technical Regulation TR CU 010/2011, machines or equipment is

a series of continuous parts or components assembled for a concrete application (e.g. processing, transporting or packaging) into an overall unit, at least one of which is driven by a power source through corresponding driving mechanisms, control chains.

In addition equipment intended for use in industries with increased dangers is subject to conformity assessment under Technical Regulation TR ZU 010/2011.

Used machines as well as components/ spare parts do not fall under any EAC conformity assessments.

Conformity assessment process

The conformity assessment with the requirements of TR CU 010/2011 On safety of machinery and equipment is carried out in the form of an EAC Certification or EAC Declaration.

The EAC certification of machinery and equipment is carried out by an accredited certification body.

The conformity assessment of machinery and equipment prior to commissioning in the form of an EAC Declaration is based on own evidence and with the involvement of an accredited body.

Upon request, the EAC Declaration can be replaced by an EAC Certification.

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.

The EAC Certification and the EAC Declaration are complex procedures that attest your products the conformity with the technical regulations of the EAEU and require a lot of know-how. Schmidt & Schmidt will support you with the certification of your products for the EAEU market.

Frequently asked questions about EAC certificates and declarations

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.
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.
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

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

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.

Technical translation

Technical translation

In order to export goods and equipment to Russia or other EAEU countries, technical documents and their correct translations into Russian or into the official language of the EAEU member must be submitted. To translate such documents, the translator must have extensive knowledge of a specific technical area as well as knowledge of highly specialized terminology.

Our specialists have many years of experience in the translation of technical documents such as operating manuals, technical passports, safety considerations, risk assessments, device passes, test reports, etc. Schmidt & Schmidt's translators speak Russian, English, German, French and Italian.
