 EAC certification is a mandatory certification required for placing products on the market of the Eurasian Union (formerly the Customs Union), an area of free movement of goods, people and capital, consisting of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia. EAC is an acronym for "Eurasian Conformity".
The EAC certification is similar to the European CE marking from which it draws its origins.
The EAC marking provides a modular approach to certification with the formalization of two types of attestation of conformity: EAC certificate and declaration of conformity.
The EAC certificate of conformity is issued by local notified bodies and, depending on the module applied, consists of an initial and periodic inspection visit combined with official product testing.
The EAC Declaration of Conformity is a self-certification issued by the manufacturer (or his authorised representative) or local importer based on internal production control and/or official product testing and/or type examination certificate issued by a local notified body.
Unlike the EC declaration of conformity, the EAC declaration of conformity is subject to registration with the National Accreditation Body of one of the member states of the Eurasian Union.
The most obvious advantage that comes from this type of certification is the possibility of exporting and marketing products in all member states of the Union with a single certification of conformity.
With the introduction of EAC certification, the old approach to product classification, based on certification according to the intended sector and not according to the intended use, has also been abandoned. In the old GOST R system, it was very often necessary to certify the same product several times depending on its intended sector.
Certification bodies issuing this type of certification must be accredited in accordance with GOST ISO/IEC 17065 and testing laboratories in accordance with GOST ISO/IEC 17025.
A certification body is required to implement the impartiality safeguard mechanism, so it cannot offer its clients consultancy services, representation of the manufacturer through subsidiaries or affiliates, act as an importer or distributor of the products, etc.

EAC marking
The EAC conformity marking consists of the graphic symbol in accordance with the model provided in the Decision of the Commission of the Customs Union No. 711 del 15/07/2011.
The different elements of the EAC marking must have the same vertical dimension, which cannot be less than 5 mm.
The EAC conformity marking (where required) is an essential requirement for export (placing on the local market) and putting into service of products in the Eurasian Economic Union.
How and where
Certificatates: Certification Bodies accredited by the National Accreditation Body (Rosakkreditaziya) and registered in the public register of Certification Bodies and Testing Laboratories of the Eurasian Economic Union.
Declarations: National Accreditation Body (Russia) and Certification Bodies (other member States of EAEU).
A Certification Body may issue EAC certificates of conformity / register EAC declarations of conformity within its scope of accreditation.
