TR CU 020/2011 | Electromagnetic Compatibility Requirements

TR CU 020/2011 is the Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on Electromagnetic Compatibility of Technical Equipment within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The regulation defines mandatory requirements for limiting electromagnetic interference and ensuring the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment against electromagnetic disturbances.

TR CU 020/2011 forms the regulatory basis for EMC conformity assessment within the EAEU and is mandatory for numerous electrical and electronic products.

The regulation primarily serves to:

prevent electromagnetic interference,
ensure functional safety of technical systems,
minimize mutual interference between electrical devices,
guarantee operational reliability,
and ensure regulatory compliance within the EAEU.

TR CU 020/2011 typically applies to:

electrical equipment,
electronic systems,
industrial installations,
machine control systems,
automation technology,
IT and telecommunication equipment,
household appliances,
measuring and control devices,
as well as electrical components.

Regulatory requirements are based on:

TR CU 020/2011,
GOST standards,
EMC standards,
technical safety regulations,
as well as supplementary Technical Regulations of the EAEU.

Core requirements particularly include:

limitation of electromagnetic emissions,
electromagnetic immunity,
safe operation under electromagnetic influence,
protection against unacceptable interference,
Technical Documentation,
test reports,
as well as regulatorily compliant marking.

Within EAC conformity assessment procedures, testing typically includes:

conducted emissions,
radiated emissions,
immunity against electromagnetic disturbances,
voltage resistance,
electrostatic discharge testing,
radio frequency behavior,
as well as operational performance under real conditions.

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

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

TR CU 020/2011 is frequently applied together with:

TR CU 004/2011 (Low Voltage Equipment),
TR CU 010/2011 (Machinery Safety),
as well as additional product-specific Technical Regulations.

The testing results are typically incorporated into:

test reports,
Technical Documentation,
Safety Justifications,
risk assessments,
EAC Certificates,
or EAC Declarations.

Missing or insufficient EMC compliance may result in:

rejection of certification,
customs clearance problems,
import prohibitions,
functional malfunctions,
regulatory findings,
or market access restrictions.

Common problems particularly arise from:

insufficient EMC testing,
missing technical evidence,
inadequate shielding,
incorrect design,
or incomplete Technical Documentation.

TR CU 020/2011 is closely connected to:

EAC certification,
electromagnetic compatibility,
EMC testing,
low voltage equipment,
Product Testing,
Technical Documentation,
risk assessments,
as well as electrical safety.

Regulatorily compliant implementation of TR CU 020/2011 is essential for the safe and legally compliant operation of electrical and electronic products within the Eurasian Economic Union.

We support manufacturers, exporters and plant engineering companies in the regulatorily compliant implementation of TR CU 020/2011 requirements. Our services include technical analysis, EMC 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.
