TR CU 007/2011 – Safety of Products Intended for Children and Teenagers
TR CU 007/2011 is the Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on the Safety of Products Intended for Children and Teenagers within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The regulation defines mandatory safety requirements for products intended for children and teenagers and forms the regulatory basis for EAC conformity assessment in the field of children’s and youth products.
TR CU 007/2011 primarily serves to:
- protect the health and safety of children,
- minimize risks caused by unsafe products,
- establish harmonized safety standards within the EAEU,
- ensure consumer and product safety,
- and guarantee regulatory compliance within the EAEU.
The regulation typically applies to:
- children’s clothing,
- baby clothing,
- children’s footwear,
- toys,
- school supplies,
- strollers,
- children’s furniture,
- hygiene products,
- textile products,
- as well as additional products intended for children and teenagers.
TR CU 007/2011 is particularly relevant for:
- manufacturers of children’s products,
- textile industry,
- toy manufacturers,
- importers,
- trading companies,
- as well as international consumer goods supply chains.
Regulatory requirements are based on:
- TR CU 007/2011,
- GOST standards,
- hygienic requirements,
- product safety regulations,
- technical safety standards,
- as well as supplementary Technical Regulations of the EAEU.
Core requirements of the regulation particularly include:
- product safety,
- material quality,
- chemical safety,
- mechanical safety,
- hygienic requirements,
- age-appropriate design,
- Technical Documentation,
- product marking,
- as well as safety testing.
Within EAC conformity assessment procedures, evaluations typically include:
- hazardous substance content,
- material properties,
- mechanical resistance,
- flammability,
- hygienic properties,
- manufacturing safety,
- marking requirements,
- as well as safety during practical use.
Depending on the product and risk category, procedures may include:
- Technical Documentation review,
- laboratory testing,
- Material Testing,
- chemical analysis,
- safety evaluations,
- Product Testing,
- as well as assessments by accredited Certification Bodies and testing laboratories.
Assessment results are typically incorporated into:
- test reports,
- Material Certificates,
- Technical Documentation,
- Safety Justifications,
- EAC Certificates,
- EAC Declarations,
- as well as regulatory conformity documentation.
Missing or insufficient compliance with TR CU 007/2011 may result in:
- rejection of certification,
- import prohibitions,
- customs clearance problems,
- product recalls,
- regulatory findings,
- or market access restrictions.
Common problems particularly arise from:
- incomplete Technical Documentation,
- missing Material Certificates,
- insufficient laboratory testing,
- incorrect age classification,
- incorrect product marking,
- or exceeding hazardous substance limits.
TR CU 007/2011 is closely connected to:
- EAC certification,
- product safety,
- toy certification,
- Material Testing,
- Product Testing,
- Technical Documentation,
- marking requirements,
- as well as Market Surveillance.
Regulatorily compliant implementation of TR CU 007/2011 is essential for the safe and legally compliant distribution of products intended for children and teenagers within the Eurasian Economic Union.
We support manufacturers, importers and exporters in the regulatorily compliant implementation of TR CU 007/2011 requirements. Our services include Product Classification, material evaluation, testing coordination, preparation of Technical Documentation as well as cooperation with accredited testing laboratories and Certification Bodies. This ensures legally compliant and efficient market access throughout the EAEU.
