The CUTR Certificate of Conformity (EAC Certificate) certification process for medical devices in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) generally involves the following steps:
1. Determine product classification and applicable regulations
Product classification: First, it is necessary to determine the specific category and risk level of the medical device. The EAEU has its own classification system for medical devices, which helps to identify the appropriate regulatory requirements. For example, different classes of medical devices (such as Class I, IIa, IIb, III) may have different certification procedures and requirements, similar to the EU's medical device classification.
Identify relevant regulations: Identify the specific EAEU technical regulations (TR CU) applicable to the medical device. For medical electrical equipment, TR CU 004/2011 "On Safety of Low - Voltage Equipment" may be relevant; for electromagnetic compatibility, TR CU 020/2011 "On Electromagnetic Compatibility" may apply. In addition, there may be other specific regulations for certain types of medical devices.
2. Select a certification body
Qualified body: Select an EAEU - recognized certification body (Certification Body, CB) that has the relevant product category certification qualifications and a rich experience and technical team. The certification body is responsible for conducting the entire certification process, including document review, product testing, and factory audit (if required).
3. Prepare certification documents
Technical documentation: Prepare a series of technical documents, including product manuals, technical drawings, parts lists, circuit diagrams, test reports, quality management system documents (such as ISO 9001 certificates). These documents should prove that the product meets the technical requirements of the EAEU. For example, the product manual should be in Russian or the official languages of the EAEU member states and provide detailed information about the product's design, manufacturing, and usage.
Other documents: In addition to technical documents, other relevant documents may also be required, such as the manufacturer's business license, authorization representative agreement (if the manufacturer is not from the EAEU), and product quality assurance documents.
4. Submit the application
Fill in the application form: Fill in the application form provided by the certification body, providing detailed information about the product, manufacturer, and other relevant information.
Submit documents: Submit all prepared technical documents and the application form to the selected certification body.
5. Document review and assessment
Initial review: The certification body conducts an initial review of the submitted documents to check their completeness and compliance. If there are any deficiencies or additional information requirements, the certification body will notify the applicant to supplement or modify the documents within a specified time.
Detailed assessment: After the initial review, the certification body will conduct a more in - depth assessment of the documents, including evaluating the product's compliance with the relevant technical regulations, the effectiveness of the quality management system, and the reliability of the test reports.
