The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) consists of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia.
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) sold by EAEU must undergo a conformity assurance process to demonstrate compliance with EAEU technical regulations on the restriction of the use of hazardous materials in electrical and wireless electronic products.
The new regulation EAEU TR 037/2016 prohibits the use of six substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers), as in the first EU regulation.
The technical regulations of EAEU 037/2016 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment contain essential safety requirements for the protection of life, health and the environment.
RoHS listed devices in EAEU TR 037/2016 Appendix 1:
- Household electrical equipment
- Electronic computers and devices connected to them, including their combination
- Telecommunication terminal
- Copy machines and office electrical equipment
- Electric power tool
- Lighting equipment, including that embedded in furniture
- Electric music instrument
- Gaming machine and vending machine
- ATM, ticket printing machine, ID card readers, etc
- Cables, wireless and cords for use at rated voltages less than 500 VAC and (or) DC, except fiber optic cables
- Automatic switches and protective devices
- Fire, security and fire-alarm detectors
EAEU TR 037/2016 does not apply to:
- Electrical devices and radio electronics intended for use at a rated voltage of more than 1000V AC and 1500V DC, unless otherwise mentioned in Appendix No 1 to this technical regulation
- Electrical devices intended solely for use as components of electrical equipment not included in the list provided for in Appendix No 1 to this technical regulation
- Electric toys
- Photo voltanic panels (solar panels), which are part of the electrical products and radio electronics
- Electrical devices intended for use as part of ground and orbital space objects
- Electrical equipment intended exclusively for use in air, water, land and underground transport
- Electric batteries and accumulators, including those put into circulation on the territory of the Union as part of electrical roducts
- Electrical devices of second-use
- Measuring instruments
- Medical devices
Electrical and electronic equipment may be manufactured and released into EAEU countries only if they comply with the requirements of this and other technical regulations of the EAEU and the suitability of the product is verified by the EAC mark.
The conformity assessment is carried out in the form of an EAEU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and can be replaced by a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) at the request of the applicant.
Required documents are as follows:
- Technical description and documentation
- Design documents (drawings and diagrams)
- Instruction manual
- List of security features
- Test reports
- Data sheet
