TR EAEU 037/2016 – RoHS
TR EAEU 037/2016 is the Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment. The regulation defines mandatory requirements for limiting hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
TR EAEU 037/2016 is functionally comparable to the European RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), although it represents an independent regulatory system of the EAEU without automatic mutual recognition.
The regulation primarily serves to:
- reduce environmental impact,
- minimize health risks,
- restrict hazardous substances in electronic products,
- promote sustainable product standards,
- and ensure regulatory compliance within the EAEU.
TR EAEU 037/2016 typically applies to:
- electrical equipment,
- electronic products,
- household appliances,
- IT and telecommunication equipment,
- industrial control systems,
- lighting systems,
- electrical components,
- consumer electronics,
- as well as industrial electrical equipment.
The regulation particularly restricts substances such as:
- lead (Pb),
- mercury (Hg),
- cadmium (Cd),
- hexavalent chromium (Cr VI),
- polybrominated biphenyls (PBB),
- as well as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
Regulatory requirements are based on:
- TR EAEU 037/2016,
- GOST standards,
- hazardous substance regulations,
- technical safety requirements,
- as well as supplementary Technical Regulations of the EAEU.
Within EAC conformity assessment procedures, evaluations typically include:
- material composition,
- hazardous substance content,
- Material Certificates,
- laboratory analysis,
- supplier documentation,
- Technical Documentation,
- as well as regulatory limit values.
Depending on the product and certification scheme, procedures may include:
- Technical Documentation review,
- Material Testing,
- chemical analysis,
- laboratory testing,
- risk assessments,
- conformity evaluations,
- as well as assessments by accredited testing laboratories and Certification Bodies.
TR EAEU 037/2016 is particularly relevant for:
- electronics manufacturers,
- machinery producers,
- automation technology,
- industrial control systems,
- electrical components,
- as well as international supply chains.
Assessment results are typically incorporated into:
- test reports,
- Material Certificates,
- Technical Documentation,
- Safety Justifications,
- EAC Declarations,
- as well as regulatory conformity documentation.
Missing or insufficient compliance with TR EAEU 037/2016 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 Material Certificates,
- missing supplier declarations,
- incorrect material specifications,
- insufficient laboratory testing,
- or incomplete Technical Documentation.
TR EAEU 037/2016 is closely connected to:
- RoHS,
- Material Certificates,
- Material Testing,
- Product Testing,
- Technical Documentation,
- EAC Declaration,
- conformity assessment,
- as well as environmental and product safety.
Regulatorily compliant implementation of TR EAEU 037/2016 is essential for the safe, environmentally compliant and legally compliant distribution of electrical and electronic products within the Eurasian Economic Union.
We support manufacturers, exporters and electronics companies in the regulatorily compliant implementation of TR EAEU 037/2016 requirements. Our services include material evaluation, Material Testing, 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.
