In 2021, significant changes were made to the technical way in which the Declaration of Conformity (DOC) and the Certificate of Conformity (COC) were registered in the current Customs Union (TR CU) of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). These changes could greatly affect business activity in Russia, as most importers are not yet ready to be deeply involved in the registration process. CMK International CertificationLet's take a look!
First of all, we should note that now we can use a unified register of declarations of conformity and certificates of conformity issued by Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan (in other words, issued in any country region of the Eurasian Economic Union).
You can find the same registry for certification bodies and laboratories:
First, change the registration process for the TR EAEU Certificate of Conformity
The registration process for the TR EAEU Certificate of Conformity has changed less. The main idea of the change is to allow the certification procedure only after the collection of all the required technical and organizational documents, such as:
This means that the approval starts with the preparation of these documents, which often makes the second part of the process easier.
The second part starts after registering the application, where we can do a factory inspection (if needed) and schedule all the tests.
But,Second, what about the TR EAEU Declaration of Conformity?
As of January 2021, certification bodies do not have the right to register DOC in Russia. Applicants (local representatives) should apply for registration on their own. He should prepare all the documents, test them to meet all the standards, and then upload the application to the Federal Certification System (FAS) through the personal company page.
It is worth noting that the certification bodies of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan still have the right to register DOC with TR EAEU, which may affect the market situation Certification activity in Russia will be reduced, since most local representatives (distributors) are not ready for the change.
