Certification Introduction

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, comprising five member states: Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan) implements unified mandatory EAC certification for market access of construction machinery. One certification is valid for all five member states, replacing the original national certifications of each country, and it is a legally required document for the lawful customs clearance, sales, and use of products. Construction machinery is classified as high-risk products: the vast majority of self-propelled, powered construction machinery are required to obtain an EAC Certificate of Conformity (CoC), and only a very small number of unpowered, non-self-propelled simple construction machinery attachments can use the Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

Laws and Regulations

The core regulation is TR CU 010/2011《Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on Safety of Machinery and Equipment》, and the following special regulations shall be applied additionally in accordance with product characteristics: 1.TR CU 004/2011《Safety of Low Voltage Equipment》 (for construction machinery with 36V-1000V electronic control) 2.TR CU 020/2011《Electromagnetic Compatibility》 (for construction machinery with electronic control systems) 3.TR CU 012/2011《Safety of Explosion-Proof Equipment》 (for explosion-proof construction machinery for mining/chemical applications) 4.TR CU 032/2013《Safety of Pressure Equipment》 (for construction machinery with hydraulic/pneumatic systems) 5.TR EAEU 037/2016《Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products》 (for construction machinery with electronic components)

Technical Requirements

Product structural stability and braking performance meet the standards, with safety protection functions such as anti-rollover and anti-extrusion; The cab must meet ROPS anti-rollover and FOPS falling-object protection requirements; noise and vibration emissions comply with the limit values, and hydraulic systems meet pressure resistance and sealing requirements; Electronically controlled products must meet the requirements for insulation, electric shock prevention, and electromagnetic compatibility; All nameplates, instruction manuals, warning marks and technical documents must be in Russian and notarized; Applying enterprises are mandatorily required to hold an ISO 9001 quality management system certificate; Large construction machinery can undergo witness testing at the production factory.

Certification Process

Appoint an authorized representative registered within the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union, complete product classification, and confirm applicable regulations and certification modes;

Prepare a full set of Russian technical documents, including application form, translated business license, ISO 9001 certificate, Russian instruction manual, technical drawings, risk assessment report, etc.;

After submitting the application, the sample testing will be completed by a laboratory accredited by the Eurasian Economic Union;

For EAC CoC certification, on-site factory audit is required, and annual supervision audits are required for certificates with a validity period of 3-5 years;

After passing the audit and testing, the certificate will be entered into the unified database of the Eurasian Economic Union, and the product shall be affixed with the EAC mark.
