TR CU 017/2011 – Safety of Light Industry Products
TR CU 017/2011 is the Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on the Safety of Light Industry Products within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The regulation defines mandatory safety and quality requirements for textiles, clothing, footwear and additional consumer goods of the light industry sector and forms the regulatory basis for their EAC conformity assessment.
TR CU 017/2011 primarily serves to:
- protect consumers,
- minimize health risks caused by materials and hazardous substances,
- establish harmonized quality and safety standards within the EAEU,
- ensure product safety,
- and guarantee regulatory compliance within the EAEU.
The regulation typically applies to:
- textiles,
- clothing,
- footwear,
- leather goods,
- home textiles,
- knitwear,
- carpets,
- fur products,
- as well as additional light industry products.
TR CU 017/2011 is particularly relevant for:
- textile manufacturers,
- clothing manufacturers,
- footwear manufacturers,
- trading companies,
- importers,
- brand owners,
- as well as international consumer goods supply chains.
Regulatory requirements are based on:
- TR CU 017/2011,
- GOST standards,
- hygienic regulations,
- product safety requirements,
- technical standards,
- as well as supplementary Technical Regulations of the EAEU.
Core requirements of the regulation particularly include:
- material quality,
- product safety,
- hygienic requirements,
- chemical safety,
- hazardous substance limits,
- marking requirements,
- Technical Documentation,
- product identification,
- as well as conformity assessment.
Within EAC conformity assessment procedures, evaluations typically include:
- material composition,
- hazardous substance content,
- color fastness,
- mechanical properties,
- skin compatibility,
- flammability,
- marking requirements,
- as well as product quality under real operating conditions.
Depending on the product group and risk classification, 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,
- EAC Certificates,
- EAC Declarations,
- as well as regulatory conformity documentation.
Missing or insufficient compliance with TR CU 017/2011 may result in:
- rejection of certification,
- import prohibitions,
- customs clearance problems,
- regulatory findings,
- product recalls,
- or market access restrictions.
Common problems particularly arise from:
- incomplete Technical Documentation,
- incorrect product marking,
- missing Material Certificates,
- insufficient laboratory testing,
- or exceeding permitted hazardous substance limits.
TR CU 017/2011 is closely connected to:
- EAC certification,
- light industry products,
- textiles,
- clothing,
- footwear certification,
- Material Testing,
- Technical Documentation,
- marking requirements,
- as well as Market Surveillance.
Regulatorily compliant implementation of TR CU 017/2011 is essential for the safe and legally compliant distribution of textiles, clothing and light industry products within the Eurasian Economic Union.
We support manufacturers, importers and exporters in the regulatorily compliant implementation of TR CU 017/2011 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.
