TR CU 020/2011 Certification Guide

Overview

This Technical Regulation applies to the certification of technical devices which may cause electromagnetic disturbances and/or the performance of which can be affected by exterior electromagnetic disturbances when operated in Russia and in the common customs territory of the EAEU (EurAsian Economic Union).

The document defines the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility of technical devices to protect human life, health and property.

The requirements of TR CU 020/2011 have been coordinated with the requirements of the EU Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility, although they are not identical.

Application

At Rustek we specialise in TR CU 020/2011 Declarations of Conformity for electric and electronic equipment for oil & gas, chemical and energy industries, such as:

• Packaged equipment (pumps, compressors, etc.)

• Control panels

• Instruments

• Switchgears

It should be noted that TR CU 020/2011 is not applicable to:

• components used as parts of other equipment and not intended for individual use;

• electromagnetically passive devices (cables, plugs, outlets, fuses, electric batteries and battery powered lights);

• emergency switches;

• high-voltage (HV) equipment without active electronic parts (inductors, transformers);

• induction electric motors.

A Certificate of Conformity to TR CU 020/2011 is required for domestic electric appliances, PC’s and related devices (printers, monitors, scanners, UPS) and electric hand tools. However Rustek does not offer certification of such devices.

Main declaration schemes for equipment subject to TR CU 020/2011

• 1d: for serially produced equipment (manufacturer’s own test report is accepted)
