Kazakhstan EAC Certification for Snow Blowers and Snow Plows
For exporting snow blowers and snow plows to Kazakhstan, you'll need to obtain EAC (Eurasian Conformity) certification, as Kazakhstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Here's a comprehensive guide to the certification process:
1. Understanding EAC Certification
EAC certification is mandatory for products listed under the EAEU technical regulations and replaces previous national certifications like Kazakhstan's GOST-K for regulated products 410. The certification ensures your equipment meets safety and quality standards across all EAEU member states (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan) .
2. Applicable Technical Regulations
For snow removal equipment, the following technical regulations typically apply:
TR CU 010/2011: Safety of machinery and equipment (primary regulation)
TR CU 004/2011: Low voltage equipment safety (if electrical components are present) 
TR CU 020/2011: Electromagnetic compatibility (for electrical/electronic components) 
3. Certification Types
There are two main types of EAC certification for snow removal equipment:
EAC Certificate (COC)
Required for higher-risk equipment
Involves sample testing and factory audits
Issued by certification bodies
Valid for 1, 3, or 5 years 
EAC Declaration (DOC)
For lower-risk products
Based on manufacturer's self-declaration with supporting test reports
No factory audit required
Applicant must be an EAEU legal entity 
For snow blowers with gasoline engines, typically an EAC Declaration is required, while more complex equipment may need an EAC Certificate .
4. Certification Process
The standard certification process includes:
Application submission: Complete application form with product details 
Document preparation: Technical passport, specifications, existing certificates 
Sample testing: In EAEU-accredited laboratories 
Factory audit (for COC): Production facility inspection 
Certification decision: Review by certification body 
Certificate issuance: Valid for up to 5 years 
5. Required Documentation
Key documents needed include:
Application form with manufacturer/importer details
Product technical description (name, HS code, photos, parameters)
Technical drawings and specifications
User manuals (in Russian or Kazakh)
Existing test reports or certificates (CE, ISO, etc.)
ISO 9001 certificate (if available) 
6. Testing Requirements
Snow removal equipment typically undergoes:
Safety testing of mechanical components
Noise and vibration level assessments
Electrical safety checks (for electric models)
Electromagnetic compatibility tests
Operator safety evaluations
Material quality inspections 
7. Kazakhstan-Specific Requirements
Additional considerations for Kazakhstan:
Documentation must be in Russian or Kazakh
May require local representative for registration
Some cases may need both EAC and GOST-K marks 
8. Costs and Timeline
Costs vary depending on:
Product complexity
Certification type (COC vs DOC)
Number of samples needed
Laboratory testing requirements
Factory audit needs 
The process typically takes 4-8 weeks, depending on documentation readiness and testing requirements 
9. Post-Certification Requirements
After certification:
EAC mark must be affixed to products
Technical documentation must be maintained
Annual surveillance audits may be required (for COC) 
Market surveillance checks may occur
