Mandatory Certification

Mandatory Certification refers to the legally required conformity assessment of certain products before they may be placed on the market within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It determines whether a product legally requires EAC Certification or an EAC Declaration in order to be imported, sold and operated within the EAEU.

Mandatory Certification primarily serves to:

ensure product safety,
protect consumers and operators,
minimize technical risks,
establish harmonized safety standards within the EAEU,
and ensure regulatory compliance.

Mandatory Certification requirements are directly based on:

Technical Regulations of the Customs Union and EAEU (TR CU / TR EAEU),
product categories,
hazard potential,
intended use,
as well as TN VED classification (EAEU Commodity Nomenclature).

Depending on the applicable Technical Regulation, the following may be required:

EAC Certification,
EAC Declaration,
State Registration,
specialized testing,
or additional regulatory approvals.

Mandatory Certification typically applies to:

machinery and industrial equipment,
electrical devices,
pressure equipment,
explosion-protected products,
personal protective equipment,
children’s products,
textiles,
industrial installations,
as well as numerous additional product categories.

Within conformity assessment procedures, evaluations typically include:

product safety,
technical characteristics,
material composition,
safety functions,
Technical Documentation,
risk assessments,
test reports,
as well as marking requirements.

Depending on the product and certification scheme, procedures may include:

Technical Documentation review,
laboratory testing,
Product Testing,
Material Testing,
risk assessments,
production surveillance,
Inspection Audits,
as well as evaluations by accredited Certification Bodies.

Assessment results are typically incorporated into:

EAC Certificates,
EAC Declarations,
test reports,
Safety Justifications,
Technical Documentation,
as well as regulatory conformity documentation.

Missing or insufficient fulfillment of Mandatory Certification requirements may result in:

import prohibitions,
customs clearance problems,
penalties,
product recalls,
regulatory findings,
sales restrictions,
or significant liability risks.

Common problems particularly arise from:

incorrect Product Classification,
incorrect TN VED classification,
incomplete Technical Documentation,
missing testing,
or incorrect assessment of regulatory requirements.

Mandatory Certification is closely connected to:

Regulatorily compliant assessment of Mandatory Certification requirements is essential for legally compliant and reliable market access within the Eurasian Economic Union.

We support manufacturers, importers and exporters in the regulatorily compliant assessment of Mandatory Certification requirements for their products within the EAEU. Our services include Product Classification, analysis of applicable Technical Regulations, testing coordination as well as preparation of required Technical Documentation. This ensures efficient and legally compliant certification processes throughout the EAEU.
