The EAC declaration and the EAC certificate of conformity are documents introduced first in 2011, consequently to the creation of the technical regulations TR CU of the Eurasian Economic Union (Evrases).

EAC Certification centers
The EAC certification bodies, according with the technical regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU), assess the conformity of given products to the relevant regulations TR CU. The quality assessment, followed by the awarding of the necessary EAC certification, allows access to the markets of the 5 members of EAC certification system. The legislation does not provide any discrimination between goods produced within or outside of the EAC certification area. Nevertheless, the presence of a representative registered in one of the three member countries, to formally require the document, is required. Furthermore it is necessary that one or more samples, of the very product that is going to be certified, enter the territory of one of the EAC members, in order to attain the certification.
The Declaration and the certificate of conformity EAC confirm the strong dedication of the members of the Eurasian Economic Union to the unitary project. Especially it exposes the determination of the Russian Leadership that, against the expectations of the international critic, was able to engage in a close economic union Kazakhstan and Belarus, as well as later Armenians and Kyrgyzstan. The development of the Eurasian Customs Union is rapidly evolving, not only in the field of quality assessment and technical regulations TR CU.

EAC certifications issuance process
In order to have the needed compliance documents issued, it is necessary to provide a series of documents intended to add up to product file. This package of documents differs depending on whether it is a Declaration of conformity EAC or a Certificate of Conformity EAC.
An additional variable, with regard to the required documentation, is the chosen certification center. Both the EAC certifications are not issued by institutions or state agencies, but the assessment and emission are delegated to private laboratories accredited to one of the five state agencies (Russian, Belorussian, Armenia, Kirghiz and Kazakh) for the overview of certification bodies. This differentiation is also perceived throughout certification procedures, although in the end, the same result is to be achieved. For customers, this translates into large pricing, timing and procedural differences.
Generally, however, the Certificate TR CU (according to Technical Regulation of the Custom Union, interchangeable to the EAC reference that instead appear on the standard marking) compared to the Declaration TR CU requires more time, higher costs, a much more extensive documentation, inspections of manufacturing facilities and the presence of an ISO certificate.
