Power Bank (Portable Charger) Certification for EAEU

Certification of products such as power banks (portable chargers) is a mandatory procedure for their legal import and sale within the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) countries. This process confirms the product’s compliance with safety and quality requirements established by technical regulations. In this article, we will examine in detail all aspects of power bank certification , including the regulatory framework, the registration process, and the list of required documents.

Power banks are certified in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU). The main regulations that apply to this product category are:
TR CU 004/2011 “On the safety of low-voltage equipment” regulates the requirements for the electrical safety of devices.
TR CU 020/2011 “Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment” establishes standards for electromagnetic compatibility.
TR CU 037/2016 “On the safety of products intended for children and adolescents” – applies if the power bank is intended for children.

The type of document (certificate or declaration) depends on the product’s characteristics and its HS code. For example, power banks with certain technical parameters may require a declaration of conformity, while more complex devices may require a certificate.

The most popular products subject to certification according to the specified regulations include:

1. Power banks with USB ports for charging mobile devices.
2. Devices with wireless charging function.
3. Power banks with solar batteries.
4. Chargers with flashlight function.
5. Multifunctional chargers with multiple ports.
6. Power banks with high capacity (more than 20,000 mAh ).
7. Chargers that support fast charging technologies ( Quick Charge ).
8. Devices with integrated cables of various standards (USB-C, Lightning ).

The certification process includes several stages:

1. Determination of TN VED codes and type of documentation (certificate or declaration).
2. Conducting product testing in an accredited laboratory.
3. Preparation and submission of documents to the certification body.
4. Registration of the certificate or declaration in the unified register of the EAEU.

Certification timeframes depend on the complexity of the product and the chosen certification scheme, but on average the process takes between 5 and 20 business days.

To carry out certification, the following documents must be prepared:

• Technical description of the product;
• Product passport;
• Operating instructions;
• Copies of contracts or supply agreements;
• Application for certification;
• Product samples for testing;
• Manufacturer’s documents (ISO certificates, if available).

Power bank certification is an important step to ensure their safe use and compliance with EAEU regulations. The type of certificate depends on the device’s parameters and its HS code, and the process requires careful document preparation and testing.
