Certification of painting paints in the EAEU countries

Product certification plays a key role in ensuring the safety and quality of goods entering the market of the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) countries. Paints for drawing, like other goods, are subject to mandatory testing for compliance with the requirements of the technical regulations of the EAEU. In this article, we will examine in detail how the certification of paints for drawing takes place, what documents are required and why EAC marking is needed.

Why is certification of painting paints necessary?

Paints for drawing are products that can affect human health, especially when it comes to children’s art materials. EAC certification guarantees that the product meets the established safety and quality standards. Only products that have passed certification can be marked with the EAC sign, which indicates their compliance with the requirements of the technical regulations of the EAEU.

What documents are required for certification?

To obtain certification of painting paints, it is necessary to prepare the following package of documents:

1. Application for certification – completed in the established form.
2. Technical documentation:

• Technical conditions (TU) or enterprise standard;
• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

1. Test reports – results of laboratory studies confirming the safety and compliance of products with requirements.
2. Information about the composition of the product – a complete description of the ingredients included in the paint.
3. Contract and invoice – if the products are imported from abroad.
   Product samples – for testing in an accredited laboratory.
4. Raw material certificates – if components are used that require confirmation of their quality.

It is important to note that the list of documents may vary depending on the type of product and the requirements of a specific technical regulation.
