Here’s a detailed overview of the EAC Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for low-voltage electrical equipment under TR CU 004/2011, including its scope, requirements, and application process:
1. Definition and Scope
The EAC DoC under TR CU 004/2011 is a mandatory self-declaration for low-voltage electrical equipment sold in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan). It applies to devices operating at:
AC voltage: 50V–1000V
DC voltage: 75V–1500V .
Covered products: Household appliances, office electronics, lighting, power tools, cables (<500V), and similar devices .
Exemptions: Medical devices, military equipment, elevators, and ATEX products
2. Key Requirements
Safety standards: Compliance with electrical, mechanical, and fire safety requirements (e.g., GOST EN 60204-1) .
Documentation: Technical files, user manuals (in Russian), test reports, and ISO 9001 certificates (if applicable) .
Testing: May use existing reports (e.g., CE LVD/EMC) or require new tests in EAEU-accredited labs .
3. Certification Process
Determine applicable scheme:
1D/2D: Self-testing or importer-provided reports 6.
3D/4D/6D: Mandatory lab testing (+ factory audit for 6D) .
Submit documents:
Application form, product specs, test reports, and importer’s EAEU registration proof .
Register DoC: Upload to the EAEU database via an accredited body .
Labeling: Affix the EAC mark (≥5mm) on products/packaging .
Timeline: 2–4 weeks; Validity: Up to 5 years (for serial production) .
4. Differences from EAC Certificate (CoC)
AspectEAC DoCEAC CoC
IssuerSelf-declared by EAEU-registered entityAccredited certification body
Risk LevelLow-to-medium risk productsHigh-risk products (e.g., machinery)
TestingOptional for 1D/2D Mandatory lab tests + factory audits
CostLower (€500–€2,000)Higher (€3,000–€10,000)
Note: Some products may require both DoC and CoC (e.g., printers needing TR CU 004/2011 CoC + TR EAEU 037/2016 RoHS DoC) .
5. Compliance Tips
Local representation: Only EAEU-registered entities (e.g., importers) can apply for DoC .
Language: All documents must be in Russian or EAEU official languages .
Updates: Monitor amendments (e.g., 2024 expanded scope for welding equipment)
For specific product classifications, consult accredited agencies like EAC Certification Body: Shanghai Jinghe Industrial Equipment Testing Co., Ltd..
