Case study: EAC Declaration of Swimming Pool Equipment ӏ TR CU 004/2011 LVD, 010/2011 "Machinery and Equipment" & 020/2011 EMC
Pool equipment encompasses a large number of devices that are represented by pool pumps, filters, heaters, cleaner, chemical feeders, and other types of equipment. In this article, we are going to touch upon pool dosing systems and pool measuring units.
The dosing systems are crucial for both private and public pools. They are installed in order to maintain the cleanliness and clarity of the pool water. With pool dosing systems, the chemical composition of the pool water is continuously monitored and necessary chemicals are supplied.
The pool dosing systems imported to the Customs Union countries are subject to the following technical regulations:
- TR CU 004/2011 “On safety of low-voltage equipment”
- TR CU 010/2011 “On safety of machinery and equipment”
- TR CU 020/2011 “Electromagnetic compatibility”
Please note that a document called safety justification is required to obtain a Declaration of conformity with TR CU 010 “Machinery and equipment”. Safety justification is a document that contains an analysis of possible risks as well as technical information on measures taken to ensure the safety of the declarable equipment. Safety justification is mandatory for not only obtaining a TR CU Declaration, but also to pass the customs when importing pool dosing equipment.
In case pool measuring units are imported to the Customs Union, an approval according to the following technical regulations is required:
- TR CU 004/2011 “On safety of low-voltage equipment”
- TR CU 020/2011 “Electromagnetic compatibility”
In both cases, a declaration of conformity will be needed to obtain. The maximum validity of a declaration is 5 years.
Documents needed for certification procedure of swimming pool equipment:
- Application (completed by us, verified by Local representative);
- Articles of incorporation of the Local representative (CU resident) (State Registration Certificate, Tax Registration Certificate, Charter). If we act as the Local representative, these are WWG documents;
- Copy of the valid contract with the Local representative (CU resident) with the Liability Clause (prepared by us, verified by the manufacturer and the Local representative). If WWG is the Local representative, then we prepare and verify it by ourselves and the manufacturer;
- Operating documents (technical passport, description, manual, or user manual) in Russian - we are happy to help with the translation;
- Technical description of all declared products;
- Test reports on the equipment performed by the manufacturer, a person authorized by the manufacturer and/or an accredited testing laboratory (if available);
- ISO Certificates (if available);
- CE Certificates and Declarations (if available).
After passing all the procedures and receiving the EAC declaration of conformity on the swimming pool equipment, the products can be freely sold on the territory of any country that is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan).
Here is how certification process works:
- Application and submission of an application.
- Collection and provision of the required information and samples for examination.
- Carrying out laboratory expertise, drawing up a test report.
- Registration of the declaration.
WWG will be happy to help you certify your swimming pool equipment.
