Your challenges
Those wishing to export consumer and industrial goods
to the Eurasian Economic Community countries of Russia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia*, must ensure that their
products meet a wide range of technical regulations to
gain the EurAsian Conformity Mark (EAC Mark).
As the individual national regulations are progressively
replaced with the harmonised standards of the Customs
Union, many manufacturers are left confused about the
correct route to compliance.
What is EAC certification?
The EAC Mark is a mandatory mark that must be affixed on
a product to demonstrate its compliance to the Customs
Union standard. Examples of products that are subject to
a mandatory conformity assessment include electrical
and electronic appliances such as lighting, household
appliances and batteries.

(EAC) Certification

Customs Union market
Why is EAC certification important for your
business?
The Customs Union is a fast growing export market,
representing significant revenue generation opportunities
for overseas manufacturers of industrial and household
equipment. EAC certification allows businesses to
successfully exploit new market opportunities by trading
freely with Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia.
As EAC Mark approval is a single harmonised standard
for EMC and/or safety, it covers all member states in the
Union, saving both time and money for manufacturers
accessing this market.
How can you prepare for EAC certification?
TÜV SÜD provides a complete EAC certification service,
supported by its GMA experts. The process allows you
to maximise market opportunities and meet contractual
timescales, thereby avoiding financial penalties for late
delivery.
How can we help you?
Certification is a complex process and it is vital to have
experts to liaise with all parties involved. TÜV SÜD has in-
depth knowledge of Custom Union requirements, allowing
you to minimise both time and costs while expediting
