Manure treatment equipment, manure removal vehicles/manure removal systems: Automated pig manure removal EAC certification (CUTR certification)
I. Mandatory certification basis and scope of application
Legal basis
Manure removal vehicles and automated manure removal systems are classified as livestock machinery and must comply with the following technical regulations:
TR CU 010/2011 ‘Safety of Machinery and Equipment’: Covers mechanical structural strength, protective design, and operational stability.
TR CU 004/2011 ‘Safety of Low-Voltage Equipment’: If electrical components (such as motors or controllers) are included, additional compliance with electrical safety standards is required.  
TR CU 020/2011 ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’: Ensures the interference resistance of electronic control systems.
Special circumstances: Self-propelled manure removal vehicles with cabs must be certified as wheeled vehicles and comply with TR CU 018/2011 (vehicle safety regulations).
Scope of applicable products
Manure removal vehicles: Hand-pushed, self-propelled manure scrapers, spiral manure removal vehicles, manure shovels, etc.
Automated systems: conveyor belt manure removal equipment, chain scraper systems, integrated control units, etc.

II. Certification Process and Key Steps
Certification Mode Selection
EAC Certificate of Conformity (mass production): Requires factory audit and sample testing, valid for 1–5 years.
EAC Declaration of Conformity (single batch): No factory audit required, but a complete test report must be provided.

Core Process  
A[Submit Application] --> B[Provide Technical Documents]  
B --> C[Laboratory Testing]  
C --> D{{Does it contain electrical/hydraulic components?}}  
D -->|Yes| E[Additional TR CU 004/2011 or Pressure Testing]
D -->|No| F[Factory audit (batch certification)]  
F --> G[Issue EAC certificate]  

Timeline: Typically 2-4 weeks; extended to 6-8 weeks for complex components or factory audits.  

Required Document Checklist  
Technical drawings (material list, electrical schematics);  
Russian-language manual (including safety warnings, operating instructions);
ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certificate (if applicable);  
Importer Cooperation Agreement (within the EAEU).  

III. Core Technical Requirements and Testing Focus  
Mechanical Safety (TR CU 010/2011)  
Structural Stability: Vibration testing to verify impact resistance;  
Protective Design: Moving parts must be equipped with protective covers;  
Environmental Adaptability: Testing within the temperature range of -30°C to +50°C.
Electrical Safety (TR CU 004/2011)  
Insulation resistance testing (applicable to humid environments);  
Grounding protection verification (safety of metal casings).  
Material Hygiene Requirements  
Components in contact with faeces (e.g., scrapers, conveyor belts) must provide food-grade material certification (compliant with TR CU 005/2011).

4. Common risks and mitigation recommendations
Material compliance risks
Non-food-grade plastics (e.g., recycled PVC) are prone to excessive chemical migration and require a material safety declaration.
Labelling and customs clearance issues
The following must be labelled: EAC mark, Russian safety warnings (e.g., ‘Mechanical movement hazard’), and importer information.
Factory Audit Focus  
Production line consistency verification (e.g., scraper blade dimensional tolerances);  
Traceability records for critical components (motor and hydraulic pump supplier qualifications).
5. Recommended Certification Bodies  
Russian Certification Centre (GOST R): Official background with extensive experience in vehicle certification.  
Shanghai Jinghe Testing: Supports pre-review of Chinese-Russian bilingual documents and provides anti-freeze testing solutions for manure scrapers.

6. Reference Cases  
Case 1: Shandong *** Hydraulic Manure Removal Vehicle  
Certified under TR CU 010/2011 + 004/2011, key improvements: scraper material upgraded to 304 stainless steel (corrosion-resistant).
Case 2: Hebei **** Conveyor Belt-Type Manure Removal System  
Certification Body: Shanghai Jinghe Industrial Equipment Testing Co., Ltd., specialising in product certification and testing for Russia and Eurasian Economic Union countries, is the Chinese representative office of the Russian Testing and Certification Group.
