Certification of wood products for EAEU countries:

Learn about wood product certification for EAEU countries: regulatory requirements, product list, application process, and required documents. Details are available on the MASTCERT website.

Certification of wood products in the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) countries is a mandatory process confirming product compliance with established safety and quality requirements. An EAC certificate or declaration of conformity is required for the legal import and sale of products within the union. In this article, we will examine in detail the key stages of certification, the list of products and documents required, and the regulatory framework.

Wood processing products are certified in accordance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU). The main regulations governing these products are:

1. TR CU 025/2012 – “On the safety of furniture products”.

2. TR CU 043/2017 – “On requirements for fire safety and fire extinguishing”.

3. TR CU 005/2011 – “On the safety of packaging”.

4. TR CU 009/2011 – “On the safety of perfumery and cosmetic products” (in the case of wooden packaging).

5. TR CU 032/2011 – “On the safety of equipment operating under excess pressure” (for specialized equipment in woodworking).

The type of document (certificate or declaration) depends on the product’s characteristics and its HS code. For example, a certificate of conformity is required for furniture, while a declaration is required for wooden packaging.

Wood processing products subject to certification or declaration in the EAEU countries include:

1. Furniture (upholstered, cabinet, office).

2. Wooden panels (chipboard, MDF, plywood).

3. Lumber and beams.

4. Wooden windows and doors.

5. Parquet board and laminate.

6. Wooden packaging (boxes, pallets).

7. Wooden stairs.

8. Building structures made of wood (e.g. rafter systems).

Each category has its own certification features depending on its purpose and characteristics.

The certification process consists of several stages:

1. Determining the type of document (certificate or declaration) depending on the characteristics of the product and the TN VED code.

2. Submitting an application.

3. Testing of samples in the laboratory to check for compliance with the requirements of the TR CU.

4. Preparation of documents based on test reports.

5. Registration of the certificate or declaration in the unified register of the EAEU.

Processing times depend on the complexity of the product and the scope of testing, but on average the process takes between 5 and 20 business days.

To certify wood processing products, the following documents are required:

1. Application for certification.

2. Description of products (technical characteristics, composition).

3. Supply contract or invoice.

4. A copy of the enterprise registration certificate (for the applicant).

5. Protocols of previous tests (if any).

6. Product samples for testing.

Depending on the certification scheme, the list may be supplemented.

Certification of wood products for EAEU countries is a complex process that requires compliance with all regulatory requirements and the preparation of a comprehensive documentation package. The type of document (certificate or declaration) depends on the product’s parameters and its HS code.
