Certification for export to Russia, Kazakhstan and EAEU

The certification and authorisation procedure for the Russian and Kazakh market is an extensive process, which requires both specialist knowledge of the law and experience interacting with national authorities. We work exclusively with certification bodies accredited by the Russian Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology and organise the entire certification process directly in Russia or Kazakhstan.

We provide all the necessary certificates for your products fast and reliably at a reasonable price!

Technical documentation for EAC conformity assessment

In order to carry out the EAC certification or EAC declaration successfully, certain technical documents must be submitted. They are the prerequisite for carrying out the conformity assessment. Some technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union such as TR CU 10/2011 On safety of machinery and equipment or TR CU 032/2013 On safety of pressure equipment require certain technical documents that confirm the conformity of the product with the requirements of the technical regulations.

Consultancy on EAC conformity assessment

Our consultants have been working with export-oriented companies of various sizes from the DACH region for years and support them in the conformity assessment of their products. They therefore have skills and experience in the following sectors, among others: plant construction, mechanical engineering, metal construction, measurement technology, electrical engineering, automation technology, medical technology, food technology and furniture.

We provide you with the necessary assistance in the form of consulting services, seminars, workshops and much more.

Authorized Representative for Russia, Kazakhstan and EAEU for EAC certification

In order to be able to carry out an EAC certification or EAC declaration, the foreign manufacturer must appoint an authorized representative in one of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. This then represents the interest of the foreign manufacturer in the cooperation with the certification bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union in relation to the safety and quality of the products and their compliance with the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Apostille and consular Legalization of foreign documents

The apostille is valid in more than 140 countries who joined the Hague Agreement of 1961, which specifies that a document endorsed in a signatory country does not require consular legalization in another. These countries recognise the legal validity of certificates with an apostille. For documents from all other countries a legalization is required, which is carried out by embassies and consulates in each country. Schmidt & Schmidt offers all forms of legalization of official documents that you may require: apostille, consular legalization or notarization.
