Certification Introduction
When exporting electronic and electrical products to the Russian Federation, most products are included in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) mandatory certification catalog, and EAC certification is required for customs clearance and market sales. Products not included in the EAEU catalog need to obtain Russian GOST R national certification. EAC certification has two forms: high-risk products (such as industrial high-power electronic and electrical equipment) require an EAC Certificate of Conformity (COC), while medium- and low-risk products (such as small household appliances, electronic accessories, etc.) can apply for an EAC Declaration of Conformity (DOC). All valid certificates must be registered in the EAEU FGIS unified registration system.
Laws and Regulations
The core applicable regulations are Eurasian Economic Union technical regulations: TR CU 004/2011 Safety of Low-Voltage Equipment, TR CU 020/2011 Electromagnetic Compatibility. In 2026, Russia completed localized revision of relevant regulations, clearly stipulating that only Russian local authorized institutions can issue certificates. Non-EAEU enterprises must appoint a legally registered Russian legal entity as the certificate holder, and the holder agreement must be notarized by a Russian notary office. All certificates must be entered into the FGIS system; unregistered certificates are deemed invalid. Non-compliant products may be fined 20%-100% of the product value and even banned from the market. Products not in the EAEU catalog are subject to Russian GOST R national safety certification regulations.
Technical Requirements
- Safety testing: Low-voltage equipment must complete all full IP protection tests, high-low temperature cycle tests, and provide MTBF reliability data;
- EMC requirements: Test frequency is extended to 2.4GHz, and radiated emission limits are tightened;
- Marking requirements: All labels and instruction manuals must be in Russian, EAC mark must be compulsorily affixed (minimum height not less than 5mm), some product categories require an additional traceability QR code;
- Special requirements: Electronic and electrical products in contact with human body need supplementary health and epidemic prevention appraisal, and provide Russian-version technical documents.
Certification Process
Confirm the applicable technical regulations and risk level of the product via HS code, prepare materials including Russian product manual, technical drawings, enterprise qualification documents, appoint a Russian legal entity as certificate holder and complete notarization of the holder agreement. For high-risk products, after application submission, send samples to an EAEU accredited laboratory for testing and pass the factory consistency audit. For medium- and low-risk products, declaration of conformity is issued based on qualified test data. A Russian local authorized institution reviews materials and test results, issues the certificate/declaration after approval, and registers it in the FGIS unified registration system. Products can be cleared for customs and launched on the market after affixing the compliance mark. As a professional technical service institution,
