EAC / EAEU Market Access
EAC certification for export to the EAEU
EAEU Compliance for Steering Wheels
Use the actual model specifications and supply scope. Classification inputs: braking or steering function, vehicle applications, dimensions, materials and performance limits. The procedure depends on the product function, materials, operating parameters, destination and regulatory exclusions. Check the current list and transition rules before choosing a scheme.
Steering Wheels: Technical scope and market access
Parameters needed for classification
braking or steering function, vehicle applications, dimensions, materials and performance limits.
Applicable procedure
TR CU 018/2011 distinguishes vehicle approval and conformity assessment of listed independently supplied components. Match the component function, vehicle category and applicable Annex 10 or referenced requirements before selecting certification or declaration. Type approval, component evidence and replacement-part application must be kept distinct; not every automotive spare part needs the same EAC document.
Documents and supply scope
Prepare the model list, intended-use statement, technical specifications, materials or formulation, design documents, labels and instructions. Select test reports, safety justification or sanitary evidence for the actual product. Distinguish independently supplied components from the complete product and identify the destination country and supply arrangement.
Check the regulatory scope, exclusions, product lists and commencement and transition provisions before selecting the conformity form and scheme. HS / TN VED is a classification aid; it does not by itself determine certification, declaration, state registration or a national procedure.

- •Vehicle/component classification
- •Application range and number of vehicle models
- •Safety-critical function and test scope
- •Availability of existing international approvals
Documents usually requested
For an initial assessment, manufacturers should normally be ready to provide:
- Type and application list
- Installation drawings
- Performance specifications
- Existing ECE/UNECE or OEM approvals if available
- Product datasheet and complete model list
- Manufacturer and production-site details
- Proposed HS / TN VED classification (8708)

More than a document-issuance service
We can manage the certification cycle from preparation for testing through final issuance, including development or adaptation of most of the technical documentation required for conformity assessment.
Typical EAC conformity assessment process
The assessment identifies the vehicle/component role and applicable approval framework before defining testing and documentation scope.
- 01
Identify the product and intended use
- 02
Check HS / TN VED and applicable EAEU regulations
- 03
Determine the required conformity route
- 04
Prepare technical and commercial documentation
- 05
Arrange samples, testing or production assessment where required
- 06
Issue or register the applicable document and confirm the required marking

Frequently asked questions
Why is the application list important?
The same component can have different approval implications depending on where and on which vehicles it is used.
Can existing ECE approvals help?
They may support the assessment, but equivalence and acceptance must be checked for the exact EAEU requirement.
Which regulatory procedure applies to Steering Wheels?
TR CU 018/2011 distinguishes vehicle approval and conformity assessment of listed independently supplied components. Match the component function, vehicle category and applicable Annex 10 or referenced requirements before selecting certification or declaration. Type approval, component evidence and replacement-part application must be kept distinct; not every automotive spare part needs the same EAC document.
Does the HS / TN VED code alone determine the route?
No. Customs classification is an important input, but the technical product description and the wording of the regulatory lists must be checked together.
