Tableware Certification for the EAEU:

Learn all about tableware certification for EAEU countries: the regulatory framework, product list, application stages, required documents, and deadlines.

Certification of tableware for the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) countries is a mandatory procedure confirming product compliance with safety and quality requirements. To import, manufacture, and sell tableware within the EAEU countries (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan), documents such as a certificate of conformity or declaration of conformity must be obtained. In this article, we will examine in detail the key aspects of tableware certification, including the regulatory framework, product list, and the certification process.

Tableware certification in the EAEU countries is governed by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU). The main regulations applicable to tableware include:

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

– TR CU 007/2011 “On the safety of products intended for children and adolescents”

– TR CU 008/2011 “On the safety of toys” (in the case of children’s tableware)

– TR CU 010/2011 “On the safety of machinery and equipment” (if there are mechanical parts, for example, in thermoses)

– TR CU 021/2011 “On the safety of food products”

– TR CU 025/2012 “On the safety of furniture products” (if we are talking about tableware with furniture elements).

The type of document (certificate or declaration) depends on the product’s characteristics and its HS code. For example, metal or glassware typically requires a declaration of conformity, while children’s tableware typically requires a certificate.

The following types of tableware are subject to certification or declaration:

1. Ceramic tableware.

2. Glassware.

3. Metal utensils (pots, pans, teapots).

4. Plastic tableware (including disposable).

5. Children’s dishes.

6. Dishwashing accessories.

7. Thermoses and thermo mugs.

8. Cookware with non-stick coating.

The certification process consists of several stages:

1. Determining the type of document (certificate or declaration).

2. Identification of products by TN VED code.

3. Selection of a certification scheme (e.g. for serial production or batch).

4. Conducting tests in an accredited laboratory.

5. Preparation of documentation and registration of the certificate or declaration in the EAEU register.

The average time for issuing a certificate is from 5 to 20 business days, depending on the complexity of the product and the scope of testing.

To certify or declare tableware, the following documents are required:

– Application for certification.

– Product description (technical specifications).

– Copies of contracts or invoices (for imported products).

– Documents for raw materials and supplies (if required).

– Test reports (if they have already been carried out previously).

– Product samples for testing.
