EAC Certification (CU-TR Certification) Guidelines for Automatic Feeding Equipment and Feed Mixers
1. Applicable Regulations
Automatic feeding equipment (such as livestock and poultry automatic feeding systems) and feed mixers (such as silage feed mixers and pellet feed mixers) are classified as agricultural machinery and must comply with the following Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) technical regulations:
Regulation Number    Regulation Title    Scope of Application
TR CU 010/2011    Technical Regulation on the Safety of Machinery and Equipment    Mechanical safety requirements for all agricultural machinery (including automatic feeding equipment and feed mixers), such as structural strength, protective devices, and operational safety.
TR CU 020/2011    Technical Regulations on Electromagnetic Compatibility of Technical Equipment    If the equipment contains electrical components (e.g., motors, control circuits, sensors), it must comply with **electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)** requirements (e.g., interference resistance, radiation limits).
TR CU 004/2011    Technical Regulations on the Safety of Low-Voltage Equipment    If the equipment uses low-voltage power supply (≤1000V AC/1500V DC), it must comply with electrical safety requirements (e.g., insulation, grounding, and protection against electric shock).

II. Certification Types  
According to TR CU 010/2011, agricultural machinery falls under the mandatory EAC certification scope (requiring an EAC certificate) rather than an EAC conformity declaration. Therefore, automatic feeders and feed mixers must obtain EAC certification to enter the EAEU market (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan).

III. Certification Process  
The EAC certification process must be conducted by an EAEU-recognised certification body (e.g., Wote Certification, Rongyida Certification, etc.), with the following specific steps (using a feed mixer as an example):  
Step    Content Description  
1. Application    Complete the ‘CU-TR Certification Application Form,’ providing the equipment name, model, customs code (HS Code), and manufacturer information (business licence, ISO 9001 certificate).
2. Document Review    Submit technical documents:
- Product manual (Russian/English);
- Technical drawings (structural, electrical diagrams);
- Test reports (e.g., mechanical strength, EMC, electrical safety, issued by an EAEU-accredited laboratory);
- Supply contract with EAEU customers (if applicable).
3. Factory Inspection (if applicable)    If the certification body (Shanghai Jinghe Industry) deems it necessary to verify production consistency, experts will be sent to the factory for review (e.g., production processes, quality control systems).
4. Testing (if applicable)    If documentation is incomplete or additional verification is required, samples must be sent to an EAEU-accredited laboratory for testing (e.g., mechanical safety, EMC).
5. Certificate issuance    Upon successful review, the certification body issues the EAC Certificate of Conformity (valid for 1–5 years, with periodic re-evaluation required).
6. Marking Application    The EAC mark must be affixed to the equipment itself, packaging, and technical documents (format: ‘EAC’ + certificate number).

IV. Key Documentation Requirements
Basic Information: Manufacturer's Business License (notarised + double certification), ISO 9001 Certificate (if applicable), Equipment Customs Code (HS Code).
Technical Documents:
Product manual (must include a Russian version, detailing the equipment's purpose, parameters, and operating methods);  
Technical drawings (overall structural diagram, electrical schematic diagram, drawings of key components);  
Test reports (e.g., mechanical safety test report, EMC test report, electrical safety test report, must comply with the requirements of TR CU 010/2011, TR CU 020/2011, and TR CU 004/2011).
Other Documents: Supply contract with EAEU customers (if an export order), Authorisation Letter (if applied for by an agent).

V. Notes  
Electrical component compliance: The motor and control circuit of the automatic feeding equipment must comply with TR CU 004/2011 (low-voltage safety) and TR CU 020/2011 (EMC), and separate test reports for electrical components must be provided.  
Certification body selection: A third-party certification body recognised by the EAEU (e.g., Shanghai Jinghe Industrial Equipment Testing Co., Ltd.) must be selected to avoid certification invalidation due to non-compliant institutions.
Validity Period and Re-inspection: The validity period of an EAC certificate is typically 1–5 years. During the validity period, regular factory re-inspections (every 1–2 years) are required to ensure production consistency.

6. Reference Case
A Chinese feed mixer manufacturer applied for EAC certification, following this process:
Submitted the application form and technical documents (manual, drawings, ISO 9001 certificate) to Wote Certification;
The certification body reviewed the documents and requested an additional EMC test report (as the equipment includes a motor);  
The manufacturer sent the sample to an EAEU-accredited laboratory (e.g., the Russian Certification Centre in St. Petersburg) for EMC testing,  
and obtained a合格 report;  
The certification body issued the EAC certificate (valid for 3 years) and guided the manufacturer on affixing the EAC mark;  
The manufacturer shipped the product to the Russian customer using the EAC certificate and successfully cleared customs.
Summary: EAC certification for automatic feeding equipment and feed mixers requires particular attention to mechanical safety, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Selecting a reputable certification body and preparing complete documentation are key to successfully obtaining certification. For further consultation, contact a professional certification service provider (such as Shanghai Jinghe Industrial) to obtain a customized solution.
Certification body: Shanghai Jinghe Industrial Equipment Testing Co., Ltd. specialises in product certification and testing for Russia and Eurasian Economic Union countries and serves as the Chinese representative office of the Russian Testing and Certification Group.
