Smoke removal systems are classified as high-risk equipment, which is why their certification is subject to special requirements. This article examines the full list of certificates required for supplying smoke exhaust valves to the EAEU countries.
Mandatory EAEU certificates
Voluntary but recommended certificates
Certification Procedure 1. Application to an accredited certification body 2. Submission of documentation (drawings, technical specifications, passports) 3. Testing of samples in an accredited laboratory (fire resistance, tightness, actuation) 4. Production analysis (factory inspection) 5. Issuance of the certificate 6. Inspection control (once a year)
Timeline and cost • Time to obtain EAC certificate — 4-8 weeks • Cost — from $3000 to $8000 (depending on the equipment type and certification scheme) • Inspection control — from $1000 per year
What should be included in the accompanying documents When supplying smoke exhaust valves, the customer must receive: • A copy of the EAC certificate (with the manufacturer's seal) • Fire resistance test report • Product passport in Russian • Installation and operation manual • Electric actuator wiring diagram • Packing list and commercial invoice
Typical errors during certification 1. Use of an expired certificate (check the validity period) 2. Missing test report (a certificate without a report is invalid) 3.
