A fashion collection can contain products that follow different EAEU conformity procedures. Adult swimwear and adult footwear may appear on the same purchase order, but they are assessed under different product groups. Children’s clothing adds an age-specific route, and footwear sold with occupational protection claims requires a separate scope check. Classify the individual models before commissioning tests, printing labels or booking the shipment.
Reestr Garant helps overseas manufacturers, fashion brands and importers prepare textiles, clothing and footwear for Russia and other Eurasian Economic Union markets. We use the model list to identify the likely conformity routes, check the evidence and flag product labels or traceability steps that need attention before launch.
Adult textiles and garments under TR CU 017/2011
Start with the finished product and its intended wearer. For garments, identify the layer and whether the item is designed for direct contact with skin. A swimsuit and a lined coat provide different evidence about the materials that contact the wearer. Describe the shell, lining and any coating separately and keep the material information consistent with the label.
Article 11 of TR CU 017/2011, as amended by EEC Council Decision No. 75, sets out the certification and declaration groups. The certification groups include underwear, corsetry, swimwear and first-layer hosiery. Use the listed product group to determine the form for the actual item. The garment’s layer is one input to classification. A general description such as “first layer” or “fashion clothing” is too broad to determine the form on its own.
Covered ordinary adult footwear other than felt footwear falls within a declaration group in the same article. Record the type of shoe or boot, upper, lining, sole and sole attachment method. If the product is felt footwear or has an unusual intended use, check its specific entry before assigning it to the same route.
Children’s products and protective equipment
For children’s and adolescents’ products, compare the intended users, type and construction with TR CU 007/2011. The adult garment’s documentation cannot establish coverage for a junior model solely because both use the same fabric. For example, listed first-layer textile underwear for children under three follows state registration and then a declaration under Article 12. Confirm the garment category before ordering one test plan for an adult and children’s range.
Clothing or footwear designed to protect workers from identified hazards needs a scope check against the applicable personal protective equipment regulation, TR CU 019/2011. Send the manufacturer’s instructions and the actual protective claims, alongside the technical specification. A leather boot offered for leisure and a boot marketed for protection against workplace hazards need distinct product records.
Build one assortment file and identify the assessment groups
Use one table for all products in the planned launch, with one row per sellable model. Include the product type, intended age or user, garment layer where relevant, material by component, factory, manufacturing reference, sales article number and destination. For footwear add the construction and size range. Indicate how every technical identifier maps to the article number printed on the box or label.
Compare variants before requesting samples. A lining change may affect the evidence for a coat. A change from a leather upper to a synthetic upper can affect whether a shoe report covers the new model. Two sizes of the same construction may be easier to group than two products with identical trade names from different factories. Ask the laboratory or certification body which differences matter for the proposed scope.
Include the existing test reports and conformity documents with their attachments. To reuse evidence, establish that it covers the actual material, model and site, and that the selected assessment route accepts it. An importer should confirm the identity of each shipment model and check the final document’s scope before release.
Plan the retail label and Russian traceability separately
Review the retail label against the product file. Check model identification, manufacturer information, size, material composition and any care or use information required for the category. For a lined coat, check the label against the shell and lining data. For footwear, compare the size and principal materials printed on the box with the specification of the actual pair.
Russia operates separate digital identification rules for covered footwear and light-industry goods. Screen the relevant product descriptions and classification codes for the actual assortment. For covered products, agree who creates the item records, obtains the identification codes, applies them to the units or packaging and keeps the shipment data aligned. The importer should confirm the rules for the intended movement of the goods before the supplier prints or dispatches them.
What the service covers and how we quote
We review the planned shipment and return a route by product group, with the evidence and labels still needed. After agreement, we can help organise the technical file and coordinate the applicable assessment with the relevant laboratory or body. The certification body decides on certification. For a declaration, the eligible applicant takes responsibility for the declaration and its supporting evidence.
The quotation depends on the number of product groups, fabrics and constructions, production sites and available reports. Specify whether you need a classification review, support for testing and assessment, a label review or a traceability scope check. Separate those items in the requested quotation so you can compare the work for the same assortment. Send one model schedule, one label per group and any previous documents to start. The product guides on adult clothing and footwear explain how to prepare each group’s file.
Frequently asked questions
Can adult swimwear and adult shoes use the same conformity document?
Check each product group in Article 11. Swimwear is in a certification group. Covered ordinary adult footwear other than felt footwear is in a declaration group. Keep the evidence for each route linked to the correct models.
Can we add a children’s size range to an adult product assessment?
First establish the intended wearer and category for the new models. Children’s products have a separate regulatory scope, and age and garment layer can change the applicable form and test evidence.
Which details matter when a supplier changes fabric or footwear materials?
Send the previous and new specifications, the model numbers and the current test reports. Identify where the changed material is used and have the assessment body or laboratory check whether the existing evidence remains representative.
How does Russian digital marking relate to EAC conformity?
EAC conformity is assessed under the applicable product rules. Digital identification applies separately to the covered products under Russia’s traceability rules, with distinct responsibilities for item data and codes.
Compare the certificate and declaration routes and check what evidence applies to your product.
