EAC certification of pressure vessels pressure equipment TR CU032/2013

According to TRCU 032/2013 EAC product certification of pressure vessels, pipelines, boilers, fittings for pressure equipment is mandatory and includes major pipelines for the transport of natural gas, oil and other media pressure products. Excluded are: equipment for the use of pressure control stations or compressor stations; equipment for gas distribution/consumption networks; equipment for nuclear energy and radioactive environments; equipment for use in marine, river vessels and aircraft; braking devices for railway rolling stock; military equipment; mechanical components, not separate containers; cylinders for medical pressure chambers; dispenser equipment for aerosols; high-voltage electrical equipment; equipment with non-metallic movable enclosures; exhaust or gas mufflers; carbonated gas dispensers; and equipment for the use of gas. gas mufflers; carbonated beverage containers or siphons. Pressure equipment EAC certification using two types of certification: EAC certificate of conformity (EAC certificate) and EAC Declaration of Conformity (EAC Declaration)

Pressure equipment EAC certificate of conformity (EAC certificate)
The EAC certificate applies to pressure equipment of categories 3 and 4. The following schemes are available for EAC conformity certification of pressure equipment:
Programme Certification scheme Application
 Product testing Evaluated production Inspection control  
1C       +        +        +            +         Batch production
3C       +            -        -           Single batch for parties
4 C          +       -          -         Single batch
7C Type of study - + + For set sequences and mass production

To issue an EAC certificate of conformity (EAC certificate), the applicant provides the following documents:
1. safety justification;
2. product technical passport;
3. user manuals/instructions;
4. project documentation;
5. strength test report;
6. manufacturing standards technical regulations and relevant technical information
7. relevant test reports.
8. factory test reports;
9. specific manufacturer's documentation confirming expert and personnel qualifications;
10. spare parts certificates (if any).
11. ISO certified (if any).

The applicant must be any legal entity or individual business within the Customs Union area. The applicant may choose to have the EAC conformity certification of pressure equipment according to TR CU032/2013 carried out at any accredited certification centre, and the applicant must must provide the required company registration documents, as well as the documents needed to apply for certification. The certification body after document analysis, determine the certification scheme, selection of test samples and analysis of production conditions, after testing and production status audit compliance requirements (according to the programme 1C and 7C), the issuance of EAC certificate of conformity (EAC certificate). The EAC certificate is valid for a maximum of 5 years; under 7C it is valid for the lifetime of the product.

EAC Declaration of Conformity for Pressure Equipment (EAC Declaration)
An EAC Declaration of Conformity (EAC Declaration) shall be applied for pressure equipment of categories 1 and 2. In accordance with TRCU 032/2013, the applicant has the right to choose any of the following schemes:

Programme Certification scheme Application
 The product is tested and passed Production control  
1D Manufacturer + mass production
2D Applicant - Contracting Party
3D Laboratory + mass production
4D Laboratory - Contracting Party Single Product
5D Type of research + for pressure equipment of categories 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the product must be assembled only at the site of use using non-removable place of installation
Application for EAC Declaration of Conformity requires the applicant on the territory of the Customs Union and requires the submission of a package of documents (technical specifications, technical passports, safety reasons, operating manuals, test data, manufacturer's test reports, reports of laboratory tests (if any), qualification of the manufacturer's welders, trade contracts), etc. The certification body analyses the application documents and arranges sample tests. After passing the test, the certification body issues an EAC Declaration of Conformity and registers it with the government. The EAC Declaration of Conformity is valid for a maximum period of 5 years. The applicant (legal entity in the territory of the Customs Union) is obliged to keep the evidence for more than 10 years after the registration of the EAC Declaration of Conformity. Each single product that has received the EAC Declaration of Conformity must be labelled with the EAC mark before it can be placed on the market and used.
