Livestock Temperature Control Equipment: Livestock Heating/Cooling Systems EAC Certification (CUTR Certification)
I. Mandatory Certification Basis and Scope of Application
Legal Basis
All livestock temperature control equipment entering the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) must comply with the following technical regulations (TR CU):
TR CU 010/2011 ‘Safety of Mechanical Equipment’: Covers requirements for the mechanical structure and protective design of heating/cooling systems.
TR CU 004/2011 ‘Safety of Low-Voltage Equipment’: Applies to equipment containing electrical components (e.g., electric heaters, temperature controllers).
TR CU 020/2011 ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)’: Ensures that equipment does not generate electromagnetic interference or be affected by external interference during operation.
TR CU 032/2013 ‘Safety of Pressure Equipment’: If the equipment involves steam or high-pressure liquids (e.g., boilers, steam heaters), it must additionally comply with this regulation.

Scope of Applicable Products  
Heating Systems: Electric heating pads, infrared heating lamps, temperature-controlled water baths, steam heaters, etc.  
Cooling Systems: Evaporative cooling fans, spray cooling equipment, chilled water circulation systems, etc.
Integrated systems: automatic temperature-controlled ventilation equipment, livestock shed environmental control systems, etc.  

II. Certification Process and Key Steps  
Certification Mode Selection  
Select the certification scheme based on the equipment type and application:  
EAC Certificate of Conformity: applicable to mass-produced products (factory audit required).  
EAC Declaration of Conformity: applicable to single-batch or small-batch products (manufacturer self-declaration, but test reports must be provided) .

Specific Process
A[Submit Application Form] --> B[Provide Product Technical Documents]
B --> C[Laboratory Test Samples]
C --> D{{Does it contain electrical/pressure components?}}
D -->|Yes| E[Additional TR CU 004/2011 or TR CU 032/2013 Testing]
D -->|No| F[Factory audit (only for batch certification)]
F --> G[Issue EAC certificate]
Timeline: Standard certification takes 2-4 weeks; complex equipment involving factory audits or pressure testing takes 6-8 weeks.

Required Document Checklist
Product technical drawings (including bill of materials, electrical schematics).
User manual (Russian version, must include safety warnings and operating instructions).
ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certificate (if applicable).  
Test reports (electrical safety, EMC, mechanical strength, etc.).  
Importers' cooperation agreement or agency agreement within the Union 1.  

III. Core Technical Requirements and Testing Standards  
Electrical Safety Testing (TR CU 004/2011)
Insulation resistance test: Ensure no current leakage in humid environments.  
Grounding protection test: Verify the effectiveness of grounding for the device's metal housing.  
Overload and short-circuit protection: Check the circuit's automatic power-off function under abnormal conditions.  

Mechanical Safety Requirements (TR CU 010/2011)  
Structural stability: The device must withstand mechanical shocks during transportation and use (e.g., vibration testing).
Protective Design: High-temperature components must be equipped with protective covers to prevent direct contact.  
Environmental Adaptability: Verify the stability of the equipment under extreme temperatures (-30°C to +50°C) and high humidity (>90%).  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing (TR CU 020/2011)  
Radiated Disturbance: Detect the interference level of the equipment on external electronic devices.
Interference resistance: Ensure the equipment can operate normally in an electromagnetic interference environment.  
Additional requirements for pressure equipment (TR CU 032/2013)  
Pressure testing: Steam heaters must pass a 1.5 times rated pressure test.  
Material certification: Pressure vessel materials must comply with GOST standards (e.g., stainless steel 12Х18Н10Т).
IV. Common Risks and Mitigation Recommendations  
Material Compliance Risks  
Non-food-grade plastics (e.g., PVC pipes) may be rejected due to excessive chemical migration; a material safety declaration (compliant with Annex of TR CU 010/2011) must be provided.  
Labeling and Instruction Manual Issues  
The following must be labeled: EAC mark, Russian safety warnings (e.g., ‘High Temperature Hazard’), and importer information. Missing labels will result in customs clearance failure.
Factory Audit Challenges  
Key verification points: production line consistency, traceability records for critical components (e.g., supplier qualifications for temperature controllers).
5. Recommended Certification Bodies and Case Studies  
Authoritative Institutions  
Russian Certification Centre (GOST R): Official background, high recognition.
Shanghai Jinghe Testing: Offers pre-inspection services and supports Chinese-Russian bilingual documents.
Typical Cases
Case 1: *** Company Electric Heating Pad
Certified under TR CU 010/2011 + 004/2011, key improvement: added overheat protection sensor.
Case 2: Hebei *** Sprinkler Cooling System  
Failed EMC testing (pump interference exceeded limits), obtained a 5-year certificate after adding shielding design.  
Certification Body: Shanghai Jinghe Industrial Equipment Testing Co., Ltd. Specialises in product certification and testing for Russia and Eurasian Economic Union countries, serving as the Chinese representative office of the Russian Testing and Certification Group.
