Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan
Also named CU-TR / TR CU Certification (based on EAEU unified Technical Regulations)
Replaced old national GOST-R (Russia), GOST-K (Kazakhstan) certification; one certificate, valid in all 5 countries
Equivalent to EU CE marking / China CCC certification; compulsory for customs clearance & retail sales in Russia

Machinery: TR CU 010/2011 (Machinery Safety)
Explosion-proof equipment: TR CU 012/2011
Toys: TR CU 007/2011

Only Russian RA/RU numbered certification bodies are valid in Russia; certificates issued by Kazakhstan/Belarus bodies are rejected at Russian customs
No overseas lab test exemption: All high-risk goods must complete full testing in Russia’s Rosaccreditation authorized labs
Local authorized representative mandatory: Chinese manufacturers cannot be certificate holders; RU legal entity with notarized authorization agreement required
EAC Mark upgrade: Minimum height ≥5mm, mandatory embedded QR code linking to official FGIS database; no QR code = cargo detention
Heavy penalties for non-compliance: Cargo seizure, fines up to 10%–20% of goods value, supplier blacklist by customs & e-commerce platforms (Ozon/Wildberries)

Sign notarized legal proxy with local Russian company (mandatory per 2026 rules)
Step 3: Prepare Full Technical Dossier (Russian language required)
Application form, manufacturer business license, ISO 9001 (if available)
Product drawings, user manual, technical specification, BOM
Test protocols (must be Russian lab reports for CoC)
Product photos, label draft with EAC mark layout
Step 4: Lab Testing (CoC only)
Ship samples to accredited Russian lab for full safety/EMC/environmental testing
Step 5: Factory Audit (Serial CoC only)
On-site production audit by Russian certification body
Step 6: Document Issuance & Registry Filing
CoC: Anti-counterfeit official paper certificate; DoC: electronic registry record. Both uploaded to unified EAEU database for customs query
Step 7: EAC Mark Labeling
Print EAC logo + QR code on product body, packaging, or user manual before shipment
6. EAC Mark Labeling Rules
Placement: Visible on product, permanent packaging, or accompanying docs

Customs: Cargo detained, forced return or destruction
Fines: Legal penalties for importer up to 1 million Rubles
E-commerce: Ozon / Wildberries product delisting, store account suspension

Even with EAC CoC/DoC, an extra State Registration (SGR) from Rospotrebnadzor (Russian consumer health authority) is mandatory before sales.
