Official-source check
- Regulator
- EAEU accredited certification bodies and testing laboratories (monitored by national accreditation services like RosAccreditation in Russia)
- Legal basis
- TR CU 005/2011 On Packaging Safety
- Typical time
- Up to 6-7 months (including mandatory testing for biodegradability)
- Corrections
- The draft is partly correct but incomplete. While TR CU 005/2011 is the correct regulation, it requires a declaration of conformity, not a certificate. Furthermore, if the packaging is marketed as 'biodegradable' or 'compostable', additional testing according to GOST R 54530-2011 is mandatory to substantiate these claims, which significantly extends the timeline. Foreign companies cannot register directly; they must use a Russian legal entity as the applicant.
| The technical regulation governing packaging safety in the EAEU is TR CU 005/2011. “Регламент ТР ТС 005/2011 «О безопасности упаковки» не обязывает упаковку быть биоразлагаемой. Его главная цель — обеспечить безопасность для потребителя и продукта.” | sertiftrade.ru |
| For polymer packaging, a declaration of conformity is required, not a certificate. “Для полимерной упаковки (коды ТН ВЭД из группы 39) предусмотрено декларирование. Сертификат не требуется.” | sertiftrade.ru |
| To substantiate claims of biodegradability, testing according to GOST R 54530-2011 is required. “Ключевой документ: Протокол испытаний от аккредитованной лаборатории ЕАЭС, подтверждающий соответствие и ст. 5 ТР ТС 005/2011, и ГОСТ Р 54530-2011 (если заявляется биоразлагаемость).” | sertiftrade.ru |
| The total duration for testing and registration can take up to 6-7 months. “Итого: до 6-7 месяцев.” | sertiftrade.ru |
