The Government of the Russian Federation has approved new lists: the Unified List of Products Subject to Mandatory EAC Certification and to EAC Declaration.
The new list of products subject to EAC certification includes 26 product groups, including oil products, pipes and fittings, cement, radiators, civilian and service arms and cartridges, and mining equipment. In turn, 67 product groups are subject to EAC declaration, including in particular crockery, mineral and phosphate fertilizers, household chemicals and paints and varnishes, batteries and rechargeable batteries and disinfectants.
Information is added to the lists of products contained in Resolution No. 2425, specifying requirements for these products, rules and methods of tests, as well as the necessary rules for selecting samples. In addition, the products contained in these lists are identified by the customs tariff number.
Resolution No. 2425 will come into force on September 1, 2022, except for the requirements for objects of mandatory conformity assessment, which were included in the lists for the first time, for which the effective date is set for September 1, 2023. This gives product manufacturers and suppliers the opportunity to prepare for the implementation of binding requirements, and certification bodies and testing laboratories to receive appropriate accreditation for working with new items of conformity assessment. Resolution No. 2425 is valid until September 1, 2028.
The Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 1, 2009 No. 982 “On approval of a single list of products subject to mandatory EAC certification and a single list of products whose Conformity is confirmed in the form of an EAC declaration" is valid until September 1st, 2022. Previously issued certificates of conformity and declarations of conformity for products are valid until the expiry date specified therein, but no longer than September 1st, 2025.
