EAEU Compliance for Switchgear
Use the actual model specifications and supply scope. Classification inputs: control function, rated circuits, protective coordination and enclosure construction. 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.
Switchgear: Technical scope and market access
Parameters needed for classification
control function, rated circuits, protective coordination and enclosure construction.
Applicable procedure
Assess TR CU 004/2011 at the specified input voltage and within its exclusions, then TR CU 020/2011 for EMC and TR EAEU 037/2016 for listed restricted-substance product categories. TR CU 004/2011 covers 50–1000 V AC and 75–1500 V DC; its certification list and product function determine certificate or declaration. The complete product, separate adapter and industrial-machine integration must be distinguished.
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.

Commencement and transition
Confirm the applicable commencement and transition provisions for the destination country and the shipment date. An adopted regulation and a regulation in force are different stages.
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.

Items requiring exact verification
- TR CU 004/2011
Low-voltage switching and control equipment can fall under TR CU 004/2011, but the conformity form depends on the exact apparatus and list position. Broad HS headings 8536/8537 cover products with different routes, so certificate versus declaration must be verified per product.
- TR CU 020/2011
EMC applicability depends on whether the specific switchgear/control device is capable of creating electromagnetic interference or is performance-sensitive to it. HS 8536/8537 alone does not establish the conformity form.
Cost and timeframe
Final cost and duration depend on the applicable regulation, conformity scheme, testing scope, technical documentation, sample requirements and project configuration.
- •Voltage and electrical safety class
- •EMC test scope
- •Number of models and power variants
- •Availability of IEC/CB or existing laboratory reports
Documents usually requested
For an initial assessment, manufacturers should normally be ready to provide:
- Electrical ratings and circuit diagrams
- BOM and critical component list
- User manual and safety warnings
- IEC/CB, EMC or laboratory reports if available
- Product datasheet and complete model list
- Manufacturer and production-site details
- Proposed HS / TN VED classification (8536, 8537)

Frequently asked questions
Do electrical safety and EMC always use the same regulation?
Not necessarily. The applicable set depends on voltage, product function and technical characteristics.
Can IEC or CB reports reduce testing?
They can be valuable evidence, but their acceptability depends on scope, standards, laboratory status and current certification rules.
Which regulatory procedure applies to Switchgear?
Assess TR CU 004/2011 at the specified input voltage and within its exclusions, then TR CU 020/2011 for EMC and TR EAEU 037/2016 for listed restricted-substance product categories. TR CU 004/2011 covers 50–1000 V AC and 75–1500 V DC; its certification list and product function determine certificate or declaration. The complete product, separate adapter and industrial-machine integration must be distinguished.
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.
