On September 12, the regular meeting of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) was held. The Council meeting considered current issues in the field of technical regulation.

The EEC Council made changes to the Procedure for coordinating standardization work within the EAEU

The changes are of a targeted nature. In particular, when planning the development (amendments, revisions) of interstate standards, it is now possible to take into account the results of the mandatory periodic assessment of the scientific and technical level of the technical regulations of the EAEU that have entered into force and the lists of standards for them.

The changes are also aimed at eliminating cases of duplication of GOST development in programs for the development of interstate standards for technical regulations of the EAEU.

The changes will come into force 30 calendar days after publication.

The EEC Council adopted amendments to the technical regulations for perfumery and cosmetic products

The requirements for the composition of perfumery and cosmetic products have been clarified in terms of updating the lists of substances prohibited for use in such products, permitted for use taking into account the established restrictions, permitted dyes, preservatives and UV filters.

The amendments will come into force 12 months after their official publication.

A transition period is provided until January 1, 2027 for the standards related to formaldehyde:

Currently, the labeling "contains formaldehyde" is required if its theoretical concentration exceeds 0.05%.

From 2027, this threshold will be reduced to 0.001%. The words "contains formaldehyde" will need to be applied to the labeling if the theoretical concentration of formaldehyde exceeds 0.001%.

Amendments to the technical regulations for light industry products have been adopted

The document brings the schemes and procedures for certification and declaration of conformity into line with the standard schemes approved by Decision of the Council of the Commission No. 44, taking into account the practice of applying the said technical regulations. The possibility of using test reports for subsequent batches of similar products during the year is regulated, as well as the possibility of using test reports for materials and components during three years when assessing the conformity of serially produced products manufactured using these materials and components.

The amendments guarantee the application of uniform conformity assessment procedures and the comparability of the results of the assessment carried out in each EAEU country.

Thus, the systemic revision of conformity assessment procedures in the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union continues.
