Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether I need a certificate or a declaration is enough?
The technical regulation decides this. Annex 3 to TR CU 010 lists the equipment subject to certification. For other equipment a declaration is enough, although the applicant may choose to obtain a certificate. Send us the model and a description, and we will tell you which document you need.
Can a certificate be obtained for equipment made by a Chinese factory?
Yes. For serial production, the applicant can only be an entity registered in an EAEU country – for example, the manufacturer's authorized representative. For a batch, the importer can obtain the certificate.
What if the documentation is only in Chinese?
It needs to be translated. In Kazakhstan, instructions and labelling for imported equipment must be in Kazakh and Russian. We translate documentation using a single glossary of terms.
What changes in TR CU 010 in 2026–2028?
The regulation was amended by Decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission No. 36 of 13 March 2026. Most of the changes apply from 1 September 2026, and the new list of products subject to certification and declaration applies from 1 April 2028. Documents issued earlier remain valid until they expire, but no later than 1 September 2031.
Do I need anything else after the certificate?
If the equipment contains measuring instruments, type approval of measuring instruments is often required. A permit for use at a hazardous production facility (an industrial site classed as hazardous under Kazakhstan law) is not required for a certified device.
