As a member state of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Kyrgyzstan follows the Customs Union CU-TR certification (EAC certification) system for product certification. The following is a detailed explanation of EAC certification in Kyrgyzstan:
I. Overview of EAC Certification
Nature of Certification
EAC certification is a mandatory certification system of the Eurasian Economic Union (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia), used to prove that products comply with the safety, health, and environmental standards of the Union's unified technical regulations (TR CU/TR EAEU).
Scope of Application

Mandatory certification products: including machinery and equipment, low-voltage/high-voltage equipment, children's products, toys, light industrial products, packaging materials, electromagnetic compatibility products, etc., totaling 61 categories (e.g., TR CU 004/2011 Low-Voltage Equipment, TR CU 020/2011 Electromagnetic Compatibility, etc.).
Exemptions: Some products (e.g., automotive parts, medium/high-voltage equipment) may require application for Kyrgyzstan national certification (e.g., TR KG or GOST-KG).

II. Certificate Types and Differences
EAC Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
Issuing Authority: Issued by certification bodies accredited by the EAEU, requiring laboratory testing and factory audits (ISO 9001 system requirements).
Applicant: May be an overseas manufacturer or importer, but must apply through a representative within the Union.
Validity Period: Single batch, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years (5-year validity requires annual supervisory audits).  
EAC Declaration of Conformity (DoC)  
Issuance Method: Self-declared by the applicant (must be an enterprise within the Union), with certification bodies reviewing the documents.  
Applicable Products: Covers 90% of mandatory list products (e.g., children's products, light industrial goods, etc.), without requiring sample testing.  
Validity Period: Same as CoC, but without supervisory audits.

III. Application Process and Document Requirements
Core Steps
Confirm product classification: Match the applicable technical regulations based on the customs code (HS Code).
Submit the application: Complete the Russian application form, provide the business license, technical documents (Russian manuals, drawings, etc.), and test reports (CE/GOST can simplify the process if available).
Testing and Review:
CoC requires sample testing at an EAEU-accredited laboratory, with some requiring factory audits.
DoC requires only document review.  
Certificate Issuance and Marking: Upon approval, the product must be affixed with the EAC mark (minimum 5mm, black and white square).  
Key Documents  
Business License (notarised and translated into Russian)  
Product Technical Passport (Technical Passport)  
Supply Contract (must be signed with a customer within the EAEU)  
ISO 9001 Certificate (required for CoC with a validity period of over one year).

IV. Special Notes  
Local Representative Requirements  
Non-EAEU companies must apply through a legal entity within Kyrgyzstan (such as an importer or authorised representative) and provide their business licence, tax registration certificate, and authorisation agreement.  
Language and Compliance  
All documents must be translated into Russian or Kyrgyz, and the EAC mark must be permanently and clearly displayed.
Other Certification Supplements  
TR KG Certification: For special goods such as used vehicles and medical equipment.  
Exemption Letter: Non-mandatory products may apply for exemption, but technical documents must be provided.  
5. Frequently Asked Questions  
Differences from GOST Certification: EAC is valid across five countries, while GOST is limited to a single country; EAC requires applicants within the alliance, with longer processing times and higher costs.
Customs clearance requirements: A copy of the EAC certificate and a verified paper copy must be provided.
For specific product certification solutions or agency services, it is recommended to consult local certification authorities (e.g., Shanghai Jinghe Industry).
