Certification Introduction

Agricultural and forestry machinery entering the market of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, including five member states: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan) is required to complete mandatory EAC certification (CU-TR certification) to achieve "one certification, access to five countries". The certification results are mutually recognized among all member states, and uncertified products cannot clear customs or be sold on the market.

Laws and Regulations

According to product properties, certificates are divided into two categories: CU-TR Certificate of Conformity and CU-TR Declaration of Conformity. 1CU-TR Certificate of Conformity: A qualification certificate issued by a certification body uniformly registered by the Customs Union. It is generally applicable to products with high safety requirements, and may involve factory audit or sample submission requirements. 2CU-TR Declaration of Conformity: With the participation of a Customs Union accredited certification body, the applicant issues a declaration of conformity for its own products. It is generally applicable to products with low safety requirements, and only companies registered in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan can act as the certificate holder. (WANVE can provide Russian representative services) Common certification regulations are as follows: 1TR CU 010/2011 "Technical Regulation on Safety of Machinery and Equipment", applicable to most agricultural and forestry operation machinery such as harvesters; 2TR CU 031/2012 "Technical Regulation on Safety of Agricultural and Forestry Tractors", specially designed for agricultural and forestry tractors; 3TR CU 004/2011 "Safety of Low Voltage Equipment", applicable to electrical components within the rated voltage range; 4TR CU 020/2011 "Technical Regulation on Electromagnetic Compatibility", applicable to products with electronic control systems; 5TR CU 037/2016 "Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)", controls the content of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic components.

Technical Requirements

Mechanical Safety: It is required to meet safety requirements including structural strength, anti-tipping stability, protection of dangerous moving parts, braking performance, noise and vibration control; Electrical and Electromagnetic Compatibility: Low-voltage components need to meet insulation and grounding safety requirements, and products with electronic devices need to meet electromagnetic interference limit requirements; Hazardous Substances: Electronic components need to meet RoHS requirements for restricting hazardous substances such as lead and mercury; Identification and Documentation: All technical documents must be provided in Russian, and compliant products must be affixed with the EAC conformity mark before being launched on the market.

Certification Process

Confirm product classification, clarify applicable regulations, and select certification mode based on product risk level and production scale: High-risk mass-produced products need to apply for EAC Certificate of Conformity (CoC), while medium and low-risk small-batch products can apply for EAC Declaration of Conformity (DoC);

Prepare a complete set of application materials: Including Russian version product manual, technical drawings, risk assessment report, enterprise qualification documents, etc.;

[After submitting the application, complete document review, finish sample testing in an EAEU accredited laboratory as required, and CoC for mass production requires additional factory audit;

After passing the review, certification documents are issued and filed in the official EAEU system, and products can be launched to the market after affixing the EAC mark.
