Certification
In order to import certain goods into the European Union, proof of quality is required. The primary standard that confirms a product’s compliance with the EU's safety, health, and environmental protection requirements is the CE marking. This marking certifies that the product meets all applicable directives and standards of the European Union.
We would be happy to connect you with the right contact person to learn more about the certification requirements in the EU.
CE marking is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985.[1] The CE marking is also found on products sold outside the EEA that are manufactured in, or designed to be sold in, the EEA. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area. It is in that sense similar to the FCC Declaration of Conformity used on certain electronic devices sold in the United States. The CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.

To import and sell goods in the European Union, particularly chemicals, it is necessary to comply with the REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals). This regulation ensures a high level of protection for human health and the environment. Non-compliance with REACH can result in goods being removed from the market or facing significant delays in market entry. Companies must register their products and provide thorough information on substances used. Compliance with REACH is crucial for maintaining access to the EU market and is recognized as a global standard for chemical safety.
Official REACH Information
EAC Certification (Eurasian Conformity) is a mandatory product certification for goods exported to countries within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. This certification ensures that products meet the technical regulations of the EAEU, similar to the CE marking in the European Union. The EAC mark indicates compliance with standards related to safety, quality, and performance, and is necessary for goods to be legally sold or distributed within these markets. For manufacturers and exporters, obtaining EAC certification usually involves product testing, technical documentation review, and factory inspections to confirm conformity. At GTG Logistics, we can assist with navigating this process, ensuring the timely and compliant certification of your goods for the EAEU market, reducing delays at customs and ensuring that your products meet all legal requirements for safe trade.
