Compulsory certificationWhat Certifications Are Required for Machinery Equipment? Complete Analysis of Key Standards
I. Core Requirements of Russias Technical Regulation System
GOST R certification system(GOST R): Applicable to mechanical equipment not covered by the Eurasian Economic Union technical regulations, covering basic requirements such as mechanical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and material strength
TR CU/EAC Certification: For products listed in the Eurasian Economic Union unified technical regulations (e.g., TR CU 010/2011 Machinery Safety Regulations), mandatory EAC marking is required
II. Specific Standards Machinery Equipment Must Comply With
1. Basic Machinery Safety Standards
GOST EN 60204-1-2018 Safety requirements for electrical equipment of machines
GOST 12.2.003-2018 General safety standards for production equipment
ГОСТ ISO 12100-2013 Basic design principles for mechanical safety
2. Additional Requirements for Special Equipment
Equipment type
Explosion - proof certification
Pressure vessels
TP TC 032/2013
Explosion-proof equipment
ГОСТ IEC 60079 series
Lifting machinery
TR CU 010/2011 Annex 5
3. Environmental and Energy Efficiency Standards
GOST R 54122-2010 Mechanical vibration measurement standards
GOST R 51388-2019 Energy efficiency rating labeling
TP TC 037/2016 Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive
III. Key Stages of Certification Implementation Process
Product classification confirmation: Determine applicable regulations list through HS codes
Includes risk assessment reports, performance test data, clinical evaluation reports, etc.: Including design drawings, material certificates, risk assessment reports (requires Russian notarization)
Laboratory testing: Complete type testing in Russian accredited laboratories
Production audit: On-site assessment of the quality management system
Certificate registration: File through the FSA (Federal Accreditation Service) official website
IV. Guide to Avoiding Common Compliance Risks
Marking specifications: EAC mark height must not be less than 5mm and must be permanently labeled
Document validity: Single-batch certificates are only valid for the current customs clearance, while series product certificates are valid for 5 years
Update requirements: Product design changes require re-submission of technical documents for review
Expert advice: It is recommended to start the certification process 6-8 months in advance, with special attention to the format specifications of Russian technical documents (GOST 2.104-2006)
V. Latest Regulatory Updates (2024 Edition)
Expanded mandatory certification scope for welding equipment (TR CU 010/2011 amendment)
Digital certification system launched: Electronic applications can be submitted via the GosUslugi platform
Carbon footprint declaration requirements: Carbon emission grading system for heavy machinery to be implemented from 2025
Mastering the key requirements of the Russian technical standards system and planning compliance in advance will effectively reduceEquipment ExportMitigate risks and enhance competitive advantages in the Russian market. It is recommended to establish cooperation with local certification bodies to track regulatory updates in real time.
