Thanks to all who have posted on this subject. It has been most helpful. We are starting to get the "Big Picture".
We have looked over the "TRs" and our type of products are not listed as requiring mandatory testing, so for years our products has breezed right in. But recently, Russia want DoCs from a Russia lab on everything. They just performed EMC testing on a motor driven "prep machine for laboratory equipment" which has no high frequency components at all (which normally wouldn't require any EMC testing). It cost more to get the DoC testing done then what the entire product sold for. If we cannot work with Russia and find a more reasonable way of doing business we might be forced to stop doing business with them all together. I hope it don't come to that but that is the situation we are in. But then again, maybe that is what they want. Thanks again for your comments.

This year we learned that Russia started to reject all EAC certs not issued by a Russian national lab. The other CU nation's certs were being rejected. I believe that Belarus has been working on legal action against Russia with the position that Russia is violating agreements. But I had to obtain a 2nd EAC cert from a Russian lab so that this company could resume their exports to Russia. The big-name labs with global market access groups that I spoke with are aware of this. This was the status as of mid-summer. Best regards, Carl On 11/29/2017 2:25 PM, Kunde, Brian wrote: Greetings. I would love to hear your story about dealing with the EAC mark and shipping products to Russia. Though most all countries have laws, acts, or directives on the books, most are not enforced across the board, yet focuses primarily on mass produced consumer electronics, computers, etc.. Individual or custom built equipment, such as scientific/laboratory equipment generally gets in such countries without much trouble. However, our department has been asked to looking into the current status of the EAC marking and what it takes to get single built instruments into Russia. Any information on this would be helpful. We have talked to a couple 3rd party labs and of course they want the entire gambit including full certification testing for Safety, EMC, and RoHS by an accredited lab and a full certification program with factory inspections, the works, blah blah blah. This approach is totally out of the question for the few products that we sell into this market. Let's be reasonable here. So far we haven't had any issues (unless we include a PC in the shipment) but if things are changing we would like to stay on top of things. I would love to hear from you. Thanks for all comments and stories.
