Measuring instruments underly a necessary conformity assessment in form of the EAC Declaration.
Legal metrological control requires conformity with specified performance requirements. These requirements are set out in two technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union:
Application area
The following measuring instruments underly the conformity assessment:
- ampermeter
- voltmeter
- wattmeter
- synchroscope
- ohmmeter
- electrical conductivity meter
Conformity assessment procedure
The manufacturer is to carry out the conformity assessment procedure and to issue the EAC Declaration. Beforehand the samples of the measuring instruments must be tested in the notified laboratory in Russia. For each group of instruments, GOST standards have been developed. These standards contain permissible values of safety indicators. Test results are recorded in reports.
Metrological approval
Beside the EAC conformity statement measuring instruments may need a metrological approval of the Federal Office for Technical Regulation and Metrology – Rosstandart. The metrological approval certificate confirms that the certified measuring instruments meet the minimum requirements of the technical regulation in Russia.
According to the Federal Law of the Russian Federation № 102 "On Assurance of Measurement Uniformity" of 26.06.2008, only certified and approved measuring instruments may be used in many areas which are subject to state surveillance.
These areas include:
- healthcare
- veterinary medicine
- work safety
- environmental protection
- arms industry
- operational safety
- trade
- cartography and geodesy
Metrologial approval for Belarus
The metrological approval is regulated by the Law of the Republic Belarus On Ensuring the Uniformity of Measurements" of september 5, 1995 n. 3848 XII, the resolution of the ministerial council of the Republic of Belarus and by resolutions of Gosttandart.
Metrological approval for Kazakhstan
The approval of measuring equipment (pattern approval) is regulated by the Law of teh Republic of Kazakhstan of June 7, 2000 no. 53 II (with changes of november 26, 2019) "About ensuring unity of measurements".
In Kazakhstan the national meteorological center is responsible for the surveillance of measuring devices and metrological certification.
Authorized representative
The manufacturer, which is not established in one of the Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union, is not entitled to apply for any EAC conformity certificate.
In accordance with applicable law and in accordance with the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union, only an entrepreneur residing in the territory of the Customs Union may be designated as an authorized representative.
In order to get the conformity certificate, the foreign manufacturer must appoint an authorized representative in one of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. He represents the interests in the certifying bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union regarding the safety and quality of products and compliance with technical regulations. Our company - Schmidt & Schmidt - offers you an authorized representative on the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union.
EAC marking
The products declared according to technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union must be marked with the EAC conformity mark before placing on the market. The conformity mark shall be affixed to each unit and (or) shipping documents. The marking must be carried out in such a way that it is easily recognizable and legible throughout the entire shelf life of the product. Appropriate marking may only be made if the corresponding production meets the requirements of all relevant technical regulations.
Time duration and costs of the conformity assessment procedure
Time duration and costs of the conformity assessment procedure depend on many factors such as product type, complexity of tests needed etc.
The exact conditions of the conformity assessment procedure are always determined individually on the basis of the documents received.
The conformity assessment process can take a few weeks.
