Smartwatch Certification for EAEU Countries

Introduction
Smart watches are a modern device that is actively used in everyday life. However, for their legal import and sale in the territory of the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) countries, certification or declaration procedures are required. In this article, we will talk about the key aspects of smart watch certification, the necessary documents and stages of registration.

Regulatory and legislative framework
Product certification in the EAEU countries is governed by the technical regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU). The main regulations applicable to smart watches include:

1. TR CU 004/2011 – On the safety of low-voltage equipment.
2. TR CU 020/2011 — Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment.
3. TR CU 037/2016 – On the safety of products intended for children and adolescents (if there are additional functions for children).
4. TR CU 017/2011 – On the safety of light industry products (if the product contains textile elements).

The type of document (certificate or declaration) depends on the parameters of the product and its HS code. For example, devices with a data transfer function may require additional checks.
