The EAC mark is the common circulation mark for covered products on the Eurasian Economic Union market. It indicates that the product has completed the required conformity assessment and meets all applicable EAEU technical regulations. Apply the mark when the product has met those requirements, following the placement and labelling rules for the particular product.
Confirm the product is ready for EAC marking
Begin with the exact model and its supply configuration. List the regulations that apply and check the required procedure under each one. If the product is covered by separate rules for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility, for example, check both before releasing the artwork. The mark represents conformity with all applicable regulations.
Confirm that the issued certificate, registered declaration or other applicable evidence covers the model and actual manufacturer. Review the product description and any annex. A conformity document for another model with a similar name is a reason to check the scope before applying the mark.
Check the product-specific placement rules
Decision 711 sets out the common design and use of the mark. The applicable technical regulation determines where to apply it, such as on the product, packaging or accompanying documentation. Check the required locations before designing the label. A carton, an instruction leaflet and a product nameplate serve different purposes and may have different requirements.
Use the official artwork and preserve its square proportions. Check that the mark is clear, visible and legible against its background in the actual printed or engraved version. A clean proof on a screen can look different on textured plastic, a curved surface or small packaging. Review the size requirements in Decision 711 and the placement provisions for the product before approving the artwork.
Match the mark and the rest of the label to the product
Check the product-specific requirements for information such as model, manufacturer details, warnings and language. Compare the label, packaging and instructions with the identifiers used in the conformity file. If the manufacturer uses a different local sales name, keep a record linking that name to the exact model covered by the assessment.
Use a printed or production sample for the final check. Confirm that labels for different models are distinguishable, that required information stays visible after packaging and that the mark remains legible in the intended location. Keep the approved artwork and record who releases it for use.
Verify the document and traceability requirements separately
The EAC artwork does not contain the registration details of a specific certificate or declaration. To verify one of those records, use the official register and check its status and product scope. Compare the model, manufacturer and applicant with the shipment. Where the record refers to an annex, check it before deciding whether it covers the item.
Traceability codes serve a separate purpose. Where a product needs a digital identifier under a programme such as Russia's Chestny ZNAK, check that obligation for the product and market in addition to EAC marking. Allocate space for each required element in the artwork and assign responsibility for its use.
Approve the label before the shipment is released
- Record the model, factory and configuration that the conformity evidence covers.
- Check the applicable rules for placement, visibility and accompanying information.
- Compare the production label, instructions and packaging with the approved artwork and conformity scope.
- Check separate traceability identifiers when required for the product.
- Review label changes when the model, configuration or manufacturer changes.
Frequently asked questions
What does EAC stand for?
EAC stands for Eurasian Conformity. It is the common circulation mark used for products that meet the relevant EAEU conformity requirements.
Can the EAC mark go only on the carton?
Check the marking clause of the applicable technical regulation. It specifies the required location and any permitted alternatives.
Does the mark prove that a certificate is active?
Use the relevant official register to check the status of a specific certificate or declaration and confirm that it covers the model and manufacturer.
Can I reuse artwork for a new model?
Check the new model's conformity scope, identifiers and applicable marking rules before approving the artwork. Review differences in the label location or materials as well.
Compare the certificate and declaration routes and check what evidence applies to your product.
