The scheme of the EAC declaration 1d is very common and confirms compliance with the technical regulations of the EAEU. It is often considered to be one of the simplest conformity assessment schemes, as it requires the least effort. This article will outline what the scheme of the EAC declaration 1d is, what its features are, what are the difficulties with its use can occur and also how it differs from other schemes (particularly scheme 3d).
Scheme 1d
The selection of the scheme depends on the specificity of the products, production or delivery.
Scheme 1d includes the following procedures:
- Creation and analysis of technical documentation
- Execution of production control
- Examination of samples
- Acceptance and registration of an EAC declaration
- Marking with EAC mark
With scheme 1d, the entire conformity assessment procedure is entirely the responsibility of the applicant: he must collect the documents himself, carry out the tests himself, accept the EAC declaration on the basis of his own evidence and enter it in the register. This is the key feature of Scheme 1d - the full independence of the applicant and the ability NOT to perform testing in an accredited laboratory. A similar situation is also provided to the applicant by scheme 2d, however, it will not apply to a serial but to a batch delivery.
It should be noted that the tests for scheme 1d must be carried out. The applicant is obliged to carry out the tests, but has the right to choose the location.
Possible issues related to Scheme 1d
- Increased responsibility. Since the process of collecting documents, conducting tests and registering an EAC declaration lies with the applicant, this implies an extended area of responsibility
- Foreign test reports. For a foreign manufacturer and authorized representative, foreign test reports can be used as evidence, but the applicant must carefully check whether the test methodology meets all the requirements of the technical regulations
- Customs control. Control over the provision of test reports and the import of samples is currently being tightened
Products covered by scheme 1d
There is no clear list of products that fall under scheme 1d as the EAC declaration scheme depends on many factors. You can find out which schema of the EAC declaration is suitable for a specific product type here as well as in the text of the technical regulations applicable to the respective product.
Applicant and Authorized Representative
Only a company resident in the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union may be the applicant for the EAC certification or the EAC declaration. You can get around this problem by hiring the services of an Authorized Representative in the Eurasian Economic Union. You can find out who an authorized representative is, what role they play in the conformity assessment process and what their responsibilities are in this article.
Scheme of the EAC declaration 1d and 3d
The main difference between schemes 1d and 3d, as mentioned above, is the need for testing in an accredited laboratory. Choosing a scheme is always an individual process that depends on many factors and the importance of these factors to the applicant.
