This is Klaus from Germany.
Klaus is an engineer and inventor.
Klaus invented a unique device, and people from all over the world want to buy it.
Klaus gets a lot of requests from Russia, too.
Klaus really wants to sell his device in Russia, but in order to do that, it has to conform
to certain standards.
The conformity assessment is usually carried out by means of certification, declaration
or state registration.
A product that has passed the conformity assessment gets a special marking.
Different countries have different standards and rules for marking.
A marking called EAC was introduced in 2011 in the Eurasian Economic Union (which consists
of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia).
The marking was introduced along with the unified conformity assessment procedure and
technical regulations.
The EAC (short for Eurasian Conformity) is a special marking that confirms that a product
is safe to use and meets all necessary requirements.
There are more than 40 regulations and several thousands of different standards in force
in the EAEU today.
To pass the сonformity assessment, it is necessary to:
• Classify the product and determine the suitable standards
• Prepare the technical documentation in Russian
• Test the product at an accredited laboratory • Conduct a production audit
• Implement a quality management system
There are three different procedures of conformity assessment in the EAEU - certification, declaration
and state registration.
Unlike declaration, certification requires involvement of an accredited certification
body.
The state registration usually applies to children’s products and cosmetics.
Only after the conformity assessment procedure, a can product receive the EAC marking and
be admitted to the Russian market.
Klaus turned to Schmidt & Schmidt.
Schmidt & Schmidt specialists answered all his questions concerning certification in
Russia and allowed him to classify the device, prepare the required documentation, conduct
production audit, organize laboratory tests and, finally, get the EAC marking for the
device in no time and for a reasonable price.
The specialists of Schmidt & Schmidt are professionals who help to organize the EAC certification
procedures all over the Eurasian Economic Union.
Klaus is happy - his device is now duly certified and can finally be sent to the buyers.
