CM Group

The issue of the EAC certificate, as well as the EAC declaration, are delegated to private certification bodies accredited by the authorities of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, with the help of laboratories also accredited by the same authorities. These structures are located only in the countries listed, but in cases I use resellers in other countries, who in addition to the document provide consultancy services. CM GROUP is an accredited Russian Certification Body and is structured to be close to its customers. When EAC Declaration and when EAC Certified? The legislation clearly specifies which products need a certificate of conformity or declaration. This indication is usually present in the annexes of the TR CU technical regulations applicable to the product for which certification is requested. EAC certification or Gost certificate is required to import to Russia Both are valid certifications in Russia. The Gost certification was introduced at the time of the Soviet Union, while the first EAC certifications saw their origin only in 2012. The Gost R certificate is valid only for the Russian Federation and today concerns only a small part of the products on the market . The EAC certifications, on the other hand, currently cover more than 90% of the products on the market and in addition to Russia, these certifications are recognized and issued by Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia. EAC Certification Procedures Do I need to submit product samples to obtain an EAC certification? Yup! The EAC certification requires these documents to be issued on the basis of test reports performed by laboratories in the Eurasian Economic Union. In addition, all EAC certification schemes, with the exception of the 1D scheme, provide for the use of laboratories accredited by the bodies of the member countries of the EAC union. By way of example, certification for clothing, which does not include the 1d scheme, always requires that the products be sent to accredited laboratories. This has implied, since the end of 2018, that the EAC certification holder must have the documents that prove the sending of the necessary samples to the Russian Federation in the manner specified by the legislation. Is the inspection visit necessary to obtain an EAC certification? It depends on the type of EAC certification and the certification scheme required by law. In the case of EAC certificates of conformity, unlike EAC declarations, according to the legislation in force, periodic inspections (annual or biennial, as well as the initial) are foreseen in all production plants.
