Core Viewpoint - The EAC Declaration of Conformity is a mandatory certification document for products sold in the Russian and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) markets, essential for compliance with EAEU technical regulations. Group 1: EAC Declaration Requirements - The EAC Declaration applies to products listed under EAEU technical regulations, including low voltage equipment, machinery, toys, and textiles. Some high-risk products require EAC certification instead of a declaration [2][3]. - The distinction between Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is crucial. DoC is self-prepared by the applicant for low to medium risk products, while CoC involves third-party testing and is required for high-risk products [3]. Group 2: Application Process - The application process begins with identifying applicable technical regulations and standards relevant to the product [4]. - Required technical documents include a detailed product description, a list of raw materials and suppliers, and test reports from EAEU-recognized laboratories [5][6]. - There are different application schemes: Scheme 1D (self-evidence), Scheme 3D (third-party testing), and Scheme 6D (mass production) [7][8][9]. - An EAC declaration application form must be completed, including details about the applicant, manufacturer, product model, and relevant technical regulations [10]. - The application is submitted to an EAEU-recognized certification body for document review, which may require additional materials or sampling tests [11]. - Once approved, the declaration is registered in the EAEU unified registration system, and a registration number is issued. The validity of the declaration typically ranges from 1 to 5 years, depending on the product type [12][13]. Group 3: Key Considerations - Applicants must be legal entities registered within the EAEU, and Chinese sellers need to apply through local partners or agents [14]. - Certified products must display the EAC mark on the product, packaging, or instructions [15]. - All documents must be in Russian or the language of EAEU member states [16]. - There are ongoing obligations, including retaining technical documents for at least 10 years and undergoing market supervision checks [17]. Group 4: Common Questions - Existing CE or international standard reports may be recognized for certain projects, but regulatory differences must be assessed [18]. - Costs and timelines vary based on product complexity and testing requirements, typically taking 2-4 weeks excluding testing time [18]. - Products without an EAC declaration may face customs detention or fines in the EAEU [18].
