Certification Procedure
A Certification Procedure is the structured process used to evaluate and confirm a product’s compliance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It includes all stages from product classification and technical assessment to the issuance of an EAC Certificate or the registration of an EAC Declaration. The Certification Procedure is a core element of EAC conformity assessment and a prerequisite for legal market access in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
The Eurasian Economic Union has established a unified system of Technical Regulations (TR EAEU / TR CU) that defines safety, quality and marking requirements for a wide range of product categories. The applicable Certification Procedure depends on the product type, its risk level and the relevant Technical Regulation.
A typical Certification Procedure includes:
- product classification,
- identification of applicable Technical Regulations,
- selection of the appropriate certification or declaration scheme,
- review of Technical Documentation,
- performance of required product testing,
- evaluation of test reports,
- factory audits or production controls where applicable,
- and issuance of an EAC Certificate or registration of an EAC Declaration.
Depending on the product category, additional requirements may apply, including Type Examination, Pressure Testing, EMC Testing, Explosion Protection Assessments or Material Testing.
Certification Procedures are conducted by accredited Certification Bodies and testing laboratories listed in the official EAEU accreditation system. The assessment results are documented and form the basis for the final conformity decision.
Incorrect product classification, incomplete Technical Documentation or missing test reports are among the most common causes of delays and non-conformities during the certification process.
The Certification Procedure is closely related to:
- Conformity Assessment,
- EAC Certificate,
- EAC Declaration,
- Technical Documentation,
- Product Testing,
- Certification Body,
- Proof of Conformity,
- and EAEU Technical Regulations.
We support manufacturers, importers and exporters throughout the entire Certification Procedure for the EAEU, including product classification, documentation review, testing coordination, communication with Certification Bodies and complete project management through to successful certification.
