EAC-EX-Certification for export to the Customs Union
For
import to Customs Union products that are marked ATEX need a TR-CU-EX-Certificate. Customs is
entitled to check that and can block the goods if the Certificate is not provided.
Technical devices used in hazardous production-facilities should be certified to prove their conformity to the industrial safety requirements set by the Russian Federation/Customs Union Law. All explosion proof electrical equipment is subject to obligatory TR-CU-EX-Certification because it falls within the category of dangerous equipment. In order to issue a TR-CU-EX-Certificate already existing ATEX-Certificates are required.
Certification will be done according to CU TR 012/2011 "On safety of the eqipment for work in explosive environments".
For an EAC-EX-Certification a factory-audit at producer's site, sample-tests (by an accredited Russian laboratory) and annual inspections are obligatory. Besides, a good documentation is requested.
A
TR-CU-EX-Certificate does not replace the TR-CU-/EAC-Certificate, but generally a TR-CU-Certificate
is not required if a TR-CU-EX-Certificate is available.
There are different classes of
hazardous areas. Normally these have to correspond with the existing ATEX-Certificates and TR-CU-EX-Certificates.
Since 15.03.2015 the TR-CU-EX-Certificate replaces the previous TR-EX resp. Gost-R-EX-Certificates.
It is necessary for import to the Customs Union.
TR = Technical Regulation
CU = Customs Union
Unlike previous Certificates, which were valid only in Russia, a TR-CU-EX-Certificate is valid in all countries
of the Customs Union (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan).
It should be
noted that the applicant/certificate-holder for TR-CU-EX-Certificates always has to be a Russian company, resp. a company that is registered in the Customs Union (a company that must have registration
and is considered as legal entity in Russia/Customs Union)! Of course, nevertheless, the exporter or producer
can order the EX-Certification himself like before. Then the exporter or producer also receives the Original
EX-Certificate.
Since many
companies do not have an own Russian company/branch or fixed contract-partner/client/importer
in the Customs Union, we can offer the exclusive possibility, to use our Russian partner-company as applicant/certificate-holder for serial Certificates (not possible for 1-lot Certificates).
That company was
founded especially for this purpose.
This unique
system guarantees export-companies, after the changes from 15.03.2015, customs-clearance without problems, sale to
different clients and commissioning on the market. As marketing advantage it
may be mentioned that the certificate-holder in this case is am independent third party.
The certified products have
to be provided with the EX-Sign. Further information you can find in chapter
“EAC-Sign Information”.
Like before,
there is the possibility to issue TR-CU-EX-Certificates for contract-based resp. 1-lot deliveries
or also with a validity of 1 – 5 years.
A 1-lot EX-Certificate can be issued
only based on documents, if the ATEX-documentation is sufficient.
For serial Certificates (with 1 – 5 year validity), a company-visit
at producer’s/exporter’s plant and
sample-tests are obligatory. Since 2019 also inspection-controls every 1-2 years have to be done.
