Eurasia RoHS (EAEU TR 037/2016)

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Technical Regulation 037/2016 ‘On Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products’ is the RoHS-equivalent regulation for EAEU member states: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. TR EAEU 037/2016 entered into force March 1, 2018, and restricts the same six hazardous substances as EU RoHS 1 (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr⁶⁺, PBBs, PBDEs) at the same concentration limits. Compliance requires a conformity declaration or certificate of conformity, and products must bear the EAC (Eurasian Conformity) mark.

EAEU Technical Regulation 037/2016; Eurasian Economic Commission.

Manufacturers exporting EEE to EAEU member states must obtain EAC conformity certification for their products under TR EAEU 037/2016. Certification requires testing by EAEU-accredited laboratories and registration of a conformity declaration or certificate with the relevant EAEU national authority. EU RoHS technical documentation and test reports can support the EAC certification process, but local accreditation requirements must be met. EAC mark application on products is mandatory for EAEU market access.
