USB Hub Certification for EAEU Countries

Learn about USB hub certification for EAEU countries: the regulatory framework, list of documents, TR CU regulations, application process, and deadlines. Full information from MASTCERT experts.

Certification of USB hubs for EAEU countries is an important process that ensures product compliance with safety and quality requirements. Without the appropriate documentation, products cannot be legally imported and sold within the EAEU countries (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan). Certification confirms that USB hubs are safe to use and comply with all established standards.

The certification procedure for USB hubs in the EAEU countries is governed by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU). The main regulations applicable to this product category are:

• TR CU 004/2011 “On the safety of low-voltage equipment”
• TR CU 020/2011 “Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment”

These regulations define the safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements for USB hubs. The type of document (certificate or declaration) depends on the product’s characteristics and its HS code.

The following types of USB hubs are subject to certification:

1. USB hubs with mains power.
2. USB hubs with additional functions (for example, built-in card readers).
3. Portable USB hubs for laptops and PCs.
4. Industrial USB hubs for server equipment.
5. Universal USB hubs with USB 3.0/3.1 support.

Products that operate within the low-voltage range (up to 1000 V) must be tested for compliance with the requirements of TR CU 004/2011.

The USB hub certification process involves several stages:

1. Determining the type of document: certificate or declaration.
2. Product identification: analysis of product characteristics and its HS code.
3. Select a certification scheme: for example, scheme 1c (for serial production) or scheme 3d (for a batch).
4. Testing: products are tested in an accredited laboratory for compliance with the requirements of the CU TR.
5. Document preparation: issuance of a certificate or declaration.

Certification timeframes depend on the complexity of the product and the chosen certification scheme. On average, the process takes 10 to 30 business days.

To begin the certification procedure, you must prepare the following package of documents:

• Application for certification.
• Product description (technical data sheet or instructions).
• A copy of the contract with the manufacturer (if the applicant is not the manufacturer).
• TN VED codes of products.
• Test reports (if they have already been carried out).
• Product samples for testing.

The exact list of documents may vary depending on the product parameters.
