Covering 70 percent of the world’s population, 75 percent of
energy resources and 70 percent of GDP, Eurasia
is emerging as one of the top geopolitical and economic forces of the
world.
Starting from the west of Europe, the contagious continent
extends to the Eastern coast of China. This incredible connection has been made
possible by the creation of the New Silk Road. A large chunk of success of the
New Silk Road project can be attributed to President Xi Jinping, who not only formalized
the creation of the new route, but also made heavy funding towards the project.
Opportunities for the EAEU Market
The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), previously known as the
Customs Union (CU), offers manufacturers incredible opportunities to expand
their businesses to the Eurasian landscape.
The terrain of the EAEU’s market includes the following
counties: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia. With a population
of around 173 million people, selling goods in this region can be great investment.
A Bit about EAC or Eurasian Conformity Mark
It is required by law for all products entering any part of
the Eurasian landscape to have the EAC mark.
Introduced in 2013, the EAC mark shows the products’
compliance with the EAEU regulations.
One of the major advantages for manufacturers obtaining the
EAC mark is that it works in all the member nations. This means that they would
not have to waste time and money getting EAC certified separately for each
country.
Products that Require the EAC Mark
Here are some product categories that require the EAC mark:
- Low-voltage equipment
- Lubricants and oils
- Protective devices
- Vehicles
- Light industry devices
- and more…
Conformity Testing for EAC
Getting EAC certification can be a tricky process. Depending
on the product type you are looking to export, the technical regulation requirements
might include:
- Certificate of Conformity
- Declaration of Conformity
For countries outside of the Eurasian landscape, it is not
possible to attain the EAC mark independently. The company or organization will
need a local representative.
Here are some necessary steps that will need to be taken for
EAC mark:
- Product testing in validated laboratories
- Submission of applications, test reports, and documentation
- Factory inspection,
- Quality management certification, if required.
