1. Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC)

The EEC is the central governing body that develops and enforces EAEU technical regulations. It oversees the coordination of conformity assessment procedures, customs, and trade policy across member states.


2. National Regulatory Bodies of Member States

Each EAEU country has its own designated authorities responsible for implementing and enforcing EAEU regulations domestically. These include ministries of health, industry, and standards agencies.


3. Accredited Certification and Testing Bodies

Conformity assessment is carried out by accredited bodies located within EAEU countries. Only these bodies are authorized to issue EAC (Eurasian Conformity) certification.


Product Certification and Compliance Requirements

  • EAC Marking (Eurasian Conformity): Products subject to technical regulations must bear the EAC mark before being sold in any EAEU member state. This mark confirms the product complies with relevant EAEU technical regulations (TRs).

  • Unified Technical Regulations (TR EAEU): Over 50 TRs are in force, covering product categories such as machinery, toys, cosmetics, food, medical devices, textiles, and electrical equipment. These regulations are mandatory and apply uniformly across all member states.

  • Conformity Assessment Procedures:

    • Certification: Required for higher-risk products. Involves testing and factory audits.

    • Declaration: For lower-risk products, manufacturers or importers can declare conformity based on test results.

    • Registration: Some product categories require registration (e.g., medical devices, cosmetics, food supplements).

  • Labeling Requirements: All labels must include the EAC mark, product name, country of origin, manufacturer/importer contact information, shelf life or expiration date, and instructions for use — all provided in Russian and possibly additional local languages depending on the target market.

  • Import Documentation: Products must be accompanied by a certificate or declaration of conformity, test reports (if required), and supporting technical documentation. Customs authorities verify compliance at entry points.

  • Market Surveillance: Each EAEU country monitors products on the market through its own enforcement bodies. Non-compliant products may be recalled, banned, or penalized.

Iraq CMC Type Approval: New QR Code Certificate Format
Iraq's Communications and Media Commission (CMC) has adopted a new type approval certificate format. The updated Iraq CMC type approval certificate now carries a QR code that lets customs officials, importers, and buyers verify authenticity, and it displays the product's key technical specifications directly on the certificate. The change is administrative: it improves verification but does not change testing scope or the obligation to obtain type approval before import or sale.

Egypt NTRA Mobile Phone Activation Compliance Rules
The Egypt NTRA mobile phone activation measure blocks new handsets that fail approved international standards—notably GSMA IMEI rules—from being switched on across Egyptian networks. Effective 1 February 2025 under Telecom Law No. 10 of 2003, it enforces existing type-approval duties at the network layer. For manufacturers and importers, valid IMEI/TAC allocation, NTRA type approval, and Digital Service Platform registration now decide whether a device activates, not just clears import.

Australia AS/CA S042 Standards: 2025 Update & AusAlert
The Australian Telecommunications Alliance (ATA), formerly Communications Alliance, revised the Australia AS/CA S042 standards, issuing 2025 editions of Parts 1, 4 and 5 in June 2025 and adding Amendment No. 1/2026, which renames the National Messaging System (NMS) as AusAlert. These air-interface standards cover addressable customer equipment on mobile and satellite networks and gain mandatory force through ACMA. This analysis sets out scope and the certification actions suppliers should take.

Japan 920 MHz WPT License-Free: MIC Opens Outdoor Use
Japan 920 MHz WPT license-free deployment moves closer as MIC advances its 920 MHz space-transmission wireless power transfer reform. The change lifts the indoor-only restriction to allow outdoor use within a premises and adds a new specified-low-power category, capped at 250 mW, that can run without an individual station licence. Licence-free is not certification-free: transmitters still need Giteki certification. Here is what manufacturers, importers and test labs should plan for.

Mauritius ICTA 5G Spectrum: 2300 & 2500 MHz Bands Opened
The Mauritius ICTA 5G spectrum landscape has shifted. On 4 June 2026 the Information and Communication Technologies Authority opened the 2300-2400 MHz band and freed additional spectrum in the 2500-2690 MHz band for IMT networks, including 5G. The decision repeals the 15 April 2026 instrument, limits eligibility to established 5G operators, sets TDD synchronised technical conditions, references specific ETSI standards, and signals a possible shift to auction-based spectrum awards.

NBTC RF Exposure Rules: Thailand Opens Consultation
Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has opened a public consultation on revising its standards, criteria and regulatory measures for human-health safety from radiocommunications equipment. The proposed changes target the NBTC RF exposure framework: the SAR and EMF limits, assessment methods and labelling that apply to body-proximate radio devices. This is a draft-stage measure, not an enacted rule; comments are open until 14 September 2026.
