Customs Union - EAC

 Customs Union - EAC



I. Certification Introduction


The Eurasian Customs Union (EAC) certification, also known as the Customs Union certification, currently comprises five member states: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. To facilitate trade among the member states and to avoid technical regulatory barriers to import and export products within this customs union, the Customs Union has legislated to issue mandatory Customs Union Technical Regulation (TR) certificates.


The five member states adopt a unified certification: EAC certification, also known as CU-TR certification. Certificates can be issued from any of the five member states.


EAC certificates/declarations issued by any country are managed on the unified Eurasian Customs Union government website and enjoy the same customs union treatment and responsibilities.


- Regulatory Bodies: Official and designated bodies in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan


- Issuing Bodies: Third-party certification bodies authorized by the Customs Union


- Controlled Products: Scope of products controlled by various directives


- Reference Regulations: EN standards


- Technical Requirements: AC 220V, 50Hz (other 4 countries); AC 230V, 50Hz (Armenia)


- Certification Modes:


COC: Testing + Factory Audit + Certification


DOC: Registration + Declaration


II. Scope of Certification


The EAC mandatory list is determined based on the directives that the product needs to meet. The determination principle is: referring to the scope of products controlled by the directives, providing product specifications and HS CODE for joint confirmation.


III. Certification Cycle:


- COC: 4-6 weeks


- DOC: CE + 2 weeks


IV. Sample Quantity:


- COC: 1 unit


- DOC: N/A


V. KC Certification Nameplate Requirements


After obtaining EAC certification, the EAC logo and related information must be affixed to the product as follows:


1) Must include the following information:

- Application form


- POA authorization letter


- Local agent information


- HS CODE


- Instruction manual (Russian)


- Specification (Russian)


- Label (Russian)


- CB report and certificate (for reference if necessary)


- Sample unit: 1 unit (may vary depending on the product)


- Factory information (name, address, contact person, email, GLN code)


The following is the DOC document list:


- CE EMC, LVD report


- Instruction manual (Russian)


- Label (Russian)


- Factory information (name, address, contact person, email, GLN code)


VIII. Important Notes:


1) The COC certificate method requires a factory inspection. A video application can be arranged, but a fee applies.


2) Due to the international situation, sending prototypes to Russia is difficult. Please consult international certification bodies for details.


3) If the product has RF functionality, additional FAC certification is required. Please refer to the FAC FAQ for details.


4) Most electronic products also require EAEU RoHS certification. Please refer to the RoHS FAQ for details.


5) Products with encryption functionality require an FSS (also called FSB) certificate, often referred to as encryption certification. This is generally required for servers, etc. Please refer to the FSS/FSB FAQ for details.

Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued

图片
 Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued my country's first mandatory national standard, the "Technical Specification for Safety of Power Banks," was published on March 31, 2026, and will officially take effect on April 1, 2027. This standard aims to end long-standing problems in the power bank industry, such as falsely advertised capacity, substandard battery cells, and frequent safety incidents. The new regulation introduces several stringent technical requirements, mandating that battery cells pass a needle penetration test (without catching fire or exploding), and strengthening thermal abuse testing; it also adds tests for whole-device drop and crushing, requires products to be labeled with a safe service life, and improves various protection mechanisms.

EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2 EU Electronics Standards

图片
To reduce e-waste, the EU is committed to promoting a unified charging technology and interface that supports a variety of electronic products. On November 23, 2022, the EU issued Directive EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2, requiring electronic product manufacturers to use USB-C charging interface technology in their products. It also requires small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras, as well as laptops, to comply with the USB-C charging interface requirement by 2024 and 2026, respectively. The IEC 62680 testing equipment GRL-USB-PD-C2-EPR, formerly the USB-IF Association's USB PD certification testing instrument, performs PD protocol certification testing. IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 62680-1-3 incorporate the USB-IF USB PD and Type-C specifications and are currently used for protocol testing and certification corresponding to IEC 62680. IEC 62680-1-2 primarily defines the USB PD power supply specification; IEC 62680-1-3 is a specification ...

 What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration? I. What is the FDA? The FDA, authorized by the U.S. Congress (the federal government), is the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug regulation. Its full name is the Food and Drug Administration. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as FDA certification; the FDA itself has stated this. Generally, when people talk about FDA certification, they are referring to the following three types: FDA registration, FDA testing, and FDA approval. ① FDA Registration: Companies exporting food, drugs, and medical devices to the United States must register with the FDA, listing their company and products. Otherwise, customs clearance will be denied; this is a mandatory requirement. ② FDA Testing: FDA testing primarily refers to safety testing of food contact materials, testing of product contact packaging, biocompatibility testing of medical products, and clinical safety testing. ③ FDA Approval: This usually appli...
