EAC Certificate for Machinery and Equipment

EAC Certificate for Machinery and Equipment

An EAC Certificate for Machinery and Equipment serves as confirmation to the manufacturer that the products comply with the Unified Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU/EEU). Conformity is verified with an EAC Certificate or an EAC Declaration. An EAC Certificate is an official confirmation from the Eurasian Economic Community of compliance with standards and allows export to Russia and EEU Member States.

EAC Certification for equipment and machinery is carried out in accordance with legal requirements for newly developed and modernized machinery and equipment and their individual parts.

EAC Certification of Machinery and Equipments

EAC Confirmation of Conformity with the Technical Regulations on the Safety of Machinery and Equipment can be provided by EAC Certification or by EAC Declaration.

The provisions of the Technical Regulations - On the Safety of Machinery and Equipment have certain similarities with the provisions of the European Union Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, but are not completely identical to them.

In the Technical Regulations TR CU 010/2011 - On the Safety of Machinery and Equipment, a machine is defined as a composition of individual parts for a specific use, for example for a packaging or manufacturing process with a corresponding power supply source, a drive unit and a control system.

Relevant Technical Codes:

  • 001/2011 TR CU - EAC Certification for Rail Vehicles
  • 002/2011 TR CU - EAC Certification for High Speed Trains

EAC Certification for the Russian Railway

EAC Certification for the Russian Railway has been carried out since August 2014 in accordance with the Customs Union Technical Regulations, TR CU 001/2011 On the Safety of Rail Vehicles, TR CU 002/2011 On the Safety of High-Speed Trains and TR CU 003/2011 On the Safety of Railway Infrastructure.

The EAC Certification serves as guarantee for meeting the Technical Safety Standards of the EEU States, thus ensuring the life and health of passengers, as well as the proper storage of transported goods.

The Conformity Assessment of Russian Railroads is carried out by the Rail and Railway Transport Authority - Rosszhelesdor. It is carried out by the institutions accredited by Rosszhelesdor. During this process, the requirements for the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union are verified. If the goods comply with the Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union, an EAC Certificate is issued.

EAC Certification for Russian Railways is carried out in accordance with the following Technical Regulations (TR CU):

  • TR CU 001/2011 On the Safety of Rail Vehicles
  • TR CU 002/2011 On the Safety of High-Speed Trains
  • TR CU 003/2011 On the Safety of Railway Infrastructure

An EAC Conformity Assessment in the field of railroad transport according to the Technical Regulations (TR CU) of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is a mandatory measure and is controlled by supervisory authorities.

EAC Certificate for the Russian Railway

  • 2D, 3D, 4D - EAC Declaration for Serial Delivery
  • 5D - EAC Certification for Serial Production

Production Audit for the Russian Railway

When conducting EAC Certification for EEU States or EAC Declaration for EEU States, a production audit is required for the product groups that pose increased risk to the health of citizens and the environment of EEU States. During the production audits, the production and production conditions are examined. After assessment of the product documentation and the results of the production audit, the EAC Certificate for railways is issued and entered into the Unified Register of EEU States.

EAC Marking of Equipment and Machinery

EAC certified products are marked with an EAC Marking of the Customs Union. Thus, EAC Conformity with the Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union is confirmed. When EAC Conformity with the minimum safety requirements of the Unified Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union has been confirmed, the products may be marked with the EAC Mark of the EEU States.

Marketing of products without appropriate EAC Marking will be punished by heavy fine and confiscation of products.

Requirements for the EAC Marking:

  • Monochrome Color Scheme
  • Dimensions of at least 5 mm
  • Clear Color Contrast with the Surface
  • Good Legibility Throughout the Life of the Product

The EAC Marking must contain the following information:

  1. Manufacturer
  2. Company Name
  3. EAC Marking
  4. Registry Number
  5. Headquarters of the Company
  6. Headquarters of the Manufacturer
  7. Date of Issue
  8. Validity of the Certificate

Authorized Representation for EAC Certification 

The Eurasian Economic Union regulations require that the manufacturer must have a registered office in the Common Economic Territory of the Customs Union in order to apply for EAC Certification or EAC Declaration. Thus, a representative of the manufacturer is required to apply for the certification processes in the Customs Union if the manufacturer does not have a branch in the Eurasian Economic Union.

The representative must be based in one of the Customs Union Member States. Often, a distributor of the manufacturer from the states of the Eurasian Economic Union acts as the applicant. It is necessary to take into account that after certification only this partner has an exclusive right of sale for the whole certification period and must issue an authorization of sales activity to all other distributors. The manufacturer's representative must be based in one of the member states of the Customs Union.

If you wish to maintain independence from individual distributors, we can provide you with a legal contract person. This task can be performed by our Russian branch. After successful certification, we will issue an authorization of distribution activity to all your business partners. If, over time, you decide to part with certain distributors or to engage new distributors, we will assist you in all your decisions and withdraw or recreate the authorization accordingly.

Duration and Costs of Certification

The time necessary for the issuance of an EAC Certificate for Machinery / EAC Certificate for Equipment varies greatly depending on the type of product. In most cases, it takes about 30 to 50 working days to prepare the EAC Certificate / EAC Declaration. For detailed information about EAC Certificate of Conformity for export to Russia, please contact us.

Validity of EAC Certification

The EAC Certification or EAC Declaration of machinery and equipment is carried out by different testing procedures, depending on the type of product. Either individual products are sent to the testing agencies or an on-site audit is required. For detailed information, please contact us. The EAC Certificates or EAC Declarations for Machinery and Equipment can be issued for 1 to 5 years.
