Full Step-by-Step Guide to Apply for EAC (TR CU) Certification (2026 Latest Rules)
There are two types of EAC documents with different workflows:
EAC CoC (Certificate of Conformity) – high-risk goods (machinery, low-voltage electrics, explosion-proof gear, toys, pressure vessels)
EAC DoC (Declaration of Conformity) – low/medium-risk consumer goods (textiles, furniture, hand tools, small accessories)
Pre-Application Mandatory Rule (Non-negotiable)
Chinese/overseas manufacturers cannot apply or hold EAC documents directly.
You must appoint an EAEU registered legal entity as your Authorized Representative (AR).
For Russia customs clearance priority: Choose a Russian LLC (ООО) as AR (2026 Order 1669 bans Kazakhstan/Belarus AR as valid holders for Russian border)
Sign a notarized power of attorney between factory and Russian AR; AR becomes the official applicant & certificate holder, bears joint legal liability
Step 1: Product Classification & Confirm Certification Type (1–3 working days)
Provide your full product name, model series, HS/TN VED customs code, technical parameters
Match the applicable TR CU Technical Regulation(s) (e.g. TR CU 004/2011 low voltage, TR CU 020/2011 EMC, TR CU 010/2011 machinery)
Confirm if you need CoC (lab test + factory audit) or DoC (self-declaration, no factory audit)
Choose certificate validity mode:
Batch certificate: Valid for one single shipment only
Serial production certificate: 1/3/5 years (multi-batch export)
Step 2: Appoint a Qualified Russian Authorized Representative
Select a legitimate Russian LLC with full official registration (ОГРН, ИНН, EGRUL records verifiable online)
Sign formal manufacturer authorization agreement
Notarize the proxy by Russian notary public
Complete AR registration in the official URAR unified representative registry (mandatory from July 2026)
Step 3: Prepare Full Russian-Language Technical Dossier
All technical files must be translated into Russian, key documents notarized; model numbers, brand, specs must be consistent across all papers.
Universal Documents for both CoC & DoC
Application form (filled & signed by Russian AR)
Manufacturer business license + ISO 9001 certificate (notarized copy)
Notarized authorization contract with Russian AR
Russian user manual with full safety warnings
Technical passport, product datasheet, complete BOM
Assembly drawings, circuit diagrams (electrical products)
Safety risk assessment report
Product photos + draft label layout (EAC mark, QR code, model, manufacturer info)
Free sales certificate / OEM agreement (if private label)
Extra Documents for EAC CoC Only
Sample customs declaration (GTD) for lab test samples
Test protocols from Rosaccreditation-accredited Russian labs
Factory quality control documents for audit
Extra Documents for EAC DoC Only
Manufacturer internal test reports (or third-party lab test records)
Draft EAC Declaration template to be filed into FGIS registry
Step 4: Sample Testing (Mandatory for EAC CoC; Optional for DoC)
EAC CoC (High-risk goods – 2026 strict local test rule)
Deliver product samples to Rosaccreditation accredited Russian laboratories (no overseas lab test exemption accepted by Russian customs)
Declare test samples with special customs code, issue GTD customs document
Labs conduct full testing per matching TR CU standards (safety, EMC, mechanical, temperature, explosion protection etc.)
Receive official Russian test protocol after passing all items

EAC DoC
No mandatory Russian lab testing; manufacturer’s internal test data or CE/CB reports can be used as supporting evidence.
Step 5: Factory Audit (Only for Serial EAC CoC)
If you apply for a 1–5 year serial CoC certificate:
Certified body sends auditor to your factory (on-site physical audit; video audit allowed under limited conditions)
Auditor inspects production lines, QC process, raw material control, batch traceability
Issue audit report; non-conformities require corrective actions before approval
Batch CoC (single shipment): No factory audit required
Step 6: Document Review, Issuance & Official Registry Filing
Certification body reviews full technical file, test reports, audit records
Draft certificate/declaration for your confirmation
After approval:
EAC CoC: Issue official electronic certificate registered in the unified FGIS EAEU database
EAC DoC: Russian AR submits declaration data to FGIS for electronic filing
Retrieve registry number + official QR code linked to the federal database (mandatory marking element in Russia 2026)
Step 7: EAC Marking Before Shipment
Permanently print the EAC mark on product body / outer packaging:
EAC symbol minimum height ≥5 mm
Attach dynamic traceable QR code
Next to mark: model name, manufacturer name, EAC registry number, origin info
Unmarked goods will be detained at customs.
Step 8: Post-Certification Compliance (Serial Certificate)
CoC: Annual surveillance factory audit required to maintain certificate validity
Update technical files if product model/design/material changes
Keep full Russian technical dossier on file for at least 10 years for authority inspection

Timeline Comparison: CoC vs DoC
Item    EAC CoC    EAC DoC
Total cycle    4–12 weeks (sample test + audit)    7–15 working days (document review only)
Factory audit    Yes (serial version)    No
Lab testing    Mandatory Russian lab test    Not mandatory
Max validity    5 years    5 years
Common Rejection Risks to Avoid (2026 Customs Hot Checks)
Using Kazakhstan/Belarus AR as certificate holder (rejected by Russian customs)
Incomplete or non-notarized Russian authorization proxy
Mismatched model numbers across drawings, manuals, test reports
Missing QR code on EAC labels
Test reports from non-Rosaccreditation labs for CoC products
Unregistered AR in URAR database
