Livestock Water Supply Equipment: Livestock Automatic Waterers, Watering Towers EAC Certification (CUTR Certification)  
I. Mandatory Nature and Scope of Certification  
Legal Basis  
EAC certification is a mandatory entry requirement of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), covering the markets of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan.  
Uncertified products will be detained or returned by customs and are prohibited from sale.
Scope of Applicable Products  
All livestock automatic waterers (e.g., nipple drinkers, water bowls, automatic water supply lines) and water towers (water storage equipment) must be certified under 1231519.  
Equipment containing electrical components (e.g., water level controllers, pumps) must additionally comply with electrical safety standards.  

2. Core Technical Regulations and Standards  
Multiple Union Technical Regulations (TR CU) must be met simultaneously:
Regulation Number                                      Requirements                                                                   Example of Applicable Components
TR CU 010/2011    Mechanical Equipment Safety (Structural Strength, Protective Design)    Drinking waterer brackets, valve mechanical components 
TR CU 004/2011    Low Voltage Electrical Safety (≤1000V AC)    Water pumps, thermostats, sensors 
TR CU 020/2011    Electromagnetic Compatibility (Interference Resistance/Radiation)    Electronic Control Modules 
TR CU 005/2011    Hygiene Safety for Metal/Plastic Materials    Water Supply Pipes, Water Storage Tanks 
Note: If the equipment is used in low-temperature environments (e.g., northern pastures), additional verification of freeze resistance is required (refer to Appendix of TR CU 010/2011).
III. Certification Process and Document Checklist
Certification Process
A[Submit Application] --> B[Provide Technical Documents]
B --> C[Laboratory Testing of Samples]
C --> D{Does it contain electrical components?}
D -->|Yes| E[Additional Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing]
D -->|No| F[Factory Audit (Random Inspection)]
F --> G[Issue EAC Certificate]  
Duration: Standard products require 2-4 weeks; complex equipment or those requiring factory audits may take 6-8 weeks.  
Key Documents  
Product technical drawings (including material list)  
User manual (Russian version)  
ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certificate (if applicable)  
Previous test reports (e.g., CE, RoHS)  
Cooperation agreement with an importer within the Union 

IV. Common Risks and Mitigation Recommendations  
Water Contact Material Risks  
Non-food-grade plastics (e.g., recycled PP) may cause chemical migration exceeding limits; a material safety declaration (compliant with TR CU 005/2011) must be provided.

Labeling and Instruction Manual Issues  
Must include: EAC mark, Russian safety warnings, and importer information. Missing these will result in customs detention.

Factory Audit Key Points  
Key verification points: production line consistency, traceability records for critical components (e.g., seal suppliers).  

5. Certification Body Selection  
Recommended qualified local service providers (to expedite the process):  
Russian Certification Centre (GOST R): official background, high recognition  
Shanghai Jinghe Testing: Chinese-Russian bilingual support, pre-inspection services available  

6. Reference Cases (Livestock Equipment Certification Practices)
Case 1: Shandong *** Machinery's nipple-type drinker  
Certified under TR CU 010/2011 + 005/2011, key improvement: upgrade of drinking valve material to stainless steel (corrosion-resistant)
