Robotics — Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)

Most robots exported to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, member states include Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia) fall under the scope of mandatory certification, and must obtain EAC certification (the former name of the Customs Union was CU TR, and the two are essentially identical). The certification follows the unified technical regulation system of EAEU, covering mainstream categories such as industrial robots, collaborative robots, consumer-grade electric robots, etc. Exemptions only include: custom-built experimental robots for scientific research, exhibition exhibits that are only for display and not for sale (exemption letter must be applied for in advance, and shipped back after the exhibition), simple mechanical arms with purely manual control and no electrical components. Certification is divided into two categories: high-risk industrial robots need to apply for EAC Certificate of Conformity (CoC), while low-power small auxiliary robots can apply for Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

The Eurasian Economic Union implements unified technical regulations at the union level, and each member state has no separate mandatory requirements. The core applicable regulations include: 1.TR CU 010/2011 "Safety of Machinery and Equipment", the core regulatory regulation for robots; 2.TR CU 004/2011 "Safety of Low-Voltage Equipment", applicable to robots with low-voltage electrical systems; 3.TR CU 020/2011 "Electromagnetic Compatibility", regulates electromagnetic compatibility performance. The new regulation in 2026 adds requirements for radio frequency exposure and OTA upgrade security verification for connected robots. Human-robot collaborative robots need to meet the relevant requirements of TR CU 029/2012 Functional Safety, and intelligent robots with AI systems need to pay attention to the new digital system compliance requirements of TR EAEU 048/2025.

Core technical requirements are centered on safety and compatibility: Mechanical Safety: Emergency stop response and braking performance meet standards, the strength of protective covers for moving parts is qualified, noise limit ≤85dB, and vibration testing is added starting from 2025; Welding robots additionally require high-temperature spark protection; Human-robot collaborative robots need to meet IEC 62061 functional safety requirements and pass ISO/TS 15066 collision force testing. Electrical Safety: Low-voltage electrical systems need to pass the 2500V/1 minute dielectric strength test, and insulation resistance and grounding protection meet the specification requirements. Electromagnetic Compatibility: Meet the requirements of electromagnetic radiation emission and anti-interference, connected intelligent robots add requirements for radio frequency exposure limit verification and firmware upgrade safety verification. Specific harmonized standards can be confirmed by checking the latest published catalog on the official EAEU platform.
