According to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Technical Regulation TR EAEU 048/2019 on energy efficiency requirements, the following are the key points for EAC certification of energy efficiency for tumble dryers, vacuum cleaners, computers and servers, water pumps, air conditioners, and indoor fans.
I. Scope of Application and Core Requirements
Scope of Products Covered
✅ Tumble dryers: Must indicate energy efficiency class (A+++ to D), annual energy consumption (kWh/year), and water consumption per programme cycle.
✅ Vacuum cleaners: Assessed based on dust pick-up rate per unit time, annual energy consumption, and standby power consumption. The energy efficiency label must indicate noise levels and filter efficiency.
✅ Computers and servers:  
Desktop/laptops: Power consumption in standby mode (S3-S5) is restricted;  
Servers: Idle state power consumption and energy efficiency metrics (e.g., SPECpower benchmarks) are evaluated.
✅ Pumps: Must meet energy efficiency index (EEI) requirements, covering circulation pumps, submersible pumps, etc., with power ranges from 1 to 1500 kW.
✅ Air conditioners and indoor fans:  
Air conditioners: Label seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER/SCOP), cooling capacity, and noise levels;  
Fans: Must indicate energy efficiency rating, airflow (m³/min), and power consumption.

General mandatory requirements
Energy efficiency label: Must include a QR code (linking to the product database), energy efficiency class in the official languages of the Eurasian Economic Union (Russian, etc.), annual energy consumption, and other core parameters.  
Technical documentation: Must provide a declaration of conformity, test reports (issued by an EAEU-accredited laboratory), product design drawings, and energy efficiency calculation basis.

II. Certification Process and Steps
Submit Application  
Submit the application form, product technical documents, and sample information to an EAEU-authorised institution (e.g., Russian GOST-R, Kazakhstani ST QAZTEST).  
Laboratory Testing  
Complete energy efficiency testing at a designated laboratory (e.g., programme energy consumption for dryers, EEI value for pumps).  
Factory Audit (applicable to certain products)  
Production processes and quality management systems may be inspected for mass-produced equipment such as computer servers and air conditioners.
Issuance of EAC Certificate  
Upon approval, obtain the EAC energy efficiency certification certificate, valid for up to 5 years.  
Product Labelling and Market Access  
Certified products must be affixed with the EAC mark + energy efficiency label (e.g., A++), and may then enter the markets of member states such as Russia and Kazakhstan.

III. Key Points for Market Compliance  
Product Category    Core Energy Efficiency Indicators    Special Requirements  
Tumble Dryers    Annual energy consumption ≤ 150 kWh/year (A+++ class)    Condensate recovery efficiency must be specified
Vacuum Cleaner    Dust removal efficiency ≥ 85% (hard floor mode)    HEPA filter grade must be declared
Computer    Idle power consumption ≤ 0.5W (desktop)    Power adapter must comply with the ErP Directive
Water Pump    EEI ≤ 0.20 (high-efficiency class)    Flow-head curve diagram must be provided
Air conditioner    SEER ≥ 6.1 (temperate climate zone)    Refrigerant environmental friendliness (GWP value) must be declared
⚠️ Note: Starting in 2027, computer equipment must be upgraded to IE3 energy efficiency motors; air conditioners must meet the recycled material proportion requirements of the ErP Ecodesign Directive.

4. Common issues and solutions
Issue 1: How to certify multiple product models?
→ Apply for series certification (requires main model testing + model difference explanation).
Issue 2: Are existing EU ErP/Energy Star certifications mutually recognised?
→ No mutual recognition! Separate EAEU energy efficiency testing is required.
Issue 3: Label language errors causing customs clearance failure?
→ Ensure labels include Russian, Kazakh, or Belarusian language parameters.
