The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) between Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia has enacted the Technical Regulation TR CU 037/2016 on the restriction of use of hazardous substances (RoHS) in radio and electronic devices, requiring product testing or assessment.
This regulation (TR CU 037/2016) was implemented based on the European RoHS Directive and follows compliance processes similar to the European standard EN 50581 (now replaced with IEC 63000). The latter is “Technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to the restriction of hazardous substances”.
Within the scope of this regulation are the following products:
Outside the regulation’s scope are the following products:
This Economic Union and the Eurasian Customs Union have agreed to restrict the same 6 first Europe RoHS substances at the homogeneous material level:
The thresholds are the same too, 0.1% by weight except for cadmium which is restricted at 0.01% by weight. Note that phthalates restricted under the EU RoHS are not in the scope of the EAEU RoHS.
The obligation to comply with EAEU RoHS, sometimes called Russia RoHS, came into force on March 1st, 2020. A Eurasia REACH regulation is also being developed, covering a wide range of substances and mixtures (similar to EU REACH).
Compliance as a producer is mandatory. Manufacturers who release their products into the market without compliance, will not receive a valid Eurasian Conformity – EAC mark on their products. No EAC mark means the product will be removed from the market.
