| Energy Efficiency Requirements — EAEU Lighting Energy Regulation | China's equivalent is GB 30255-2019 (Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires), defining three grades: Grade 1 ≥90 lm/W; Grade 2 ≥80 lm/W; Grade 3 ≥70 lm/W, with Grade 3 the minimum for CN market entry. China Energy Label (CEL) registration is mandatory for GB 30255-covered products and administered by SAMR. GB 30255 grades use absolute lm/W thresholds and the CEL scheme is distinct from the EAEU lighting energy framework; there is no mutual recognition.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (SAC/SAMR) China Energy Label (CEL) scheme — administered by SAMR |
Lighting products on the Armenian / EAEU market are subject to the EAEU energy-efficiency framework for lighting devices (the Customs Union / EAEU requirements on energy efficiency of energy-consuming devices, implemented through EEC decisions on lighting). Where applicable, minimum luminous efficacy and performance criteria are assessed against GOST IEC 60598 / GOST IEC 62612 (self-ballasted LED lamps) and related GOST standards. The efficiency requirement is enforced together with the EAC conformity framework, but the EAEU lighting energy regime is less prescriptive on a single binding lm/W floor than the EU Ecodesign Regulation, and the specific applicable thresholds depend on the product sub-category — verify the current EEC lighting energy-efficiency decision and the referenced GOST standard for the exact product type. Armenia's 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, so rated input does not require redesign.EAEU / Customs Union energy-efficiency requirements for lighting devices (EEC decisions on energy efficiency of energy-consuming devices) GOST IEC 62612 — Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services — Performance requirements (GOST adoption of IEC 62612) |
The EAEU lighting energy-efficiency framework and China's GB 30255 both build largely on IEC-derived performance metrics, so a product meeting a reasonable CN grade (e.g., Grade 2 ≥80 lm/W) is generally well-positioned for the EAEU lighting energy criteria. The gap is mainly procedural: efficiency is assessed inside the EAC conformity route under the EAEU framework, not under the CN CEL scheme — the two are non-mutual, and a CN CEL registration does not transfer. The EAEU lighting energy regime is also less prescriptive on a single binding lm/W floor than the EU, so the exact applicable threshold depends on the product sub-category and the referenced GOST standard. Manufacturers should confirm the current EEC lighting energy-efficiency decision and the GOST performance standard for their specific product type; documentation is typically required in Russian.[INFORMATIONAL] Lighting energy efficiency in Armenia is governed by the EAEU framework within the EAC conformity route, assessed against GOST IEC performance standards. It is less prescriptive on a single binding lm/W floor than the EU Ecodesign Regulation, and the applicable threshold depends on the product sub-category. A product meeting a reasonable CN GB 30255 grade is generally well-positioned, but the CN CEL scheme and the EAEU framework are non-mutual and CN registration does not transfer. Verify the current EEC lighting energy-efficiency decision and the referenced GOST standard for the specific product type. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Energy efficiency2026-06-15 · reference |
| EAC Conformity Process, Importer & Marking vs CCC / CQC | In China, the primary mandatory certification for luminaires sold in the residential market is CCC (China Compulsory Certification), administered by CNCA, requiring mandatory third-party certification by a CNCA-authorized body (e.g., CQC). CQC voluntary certification is available for products outside mandatory CCC. For wireless-enabled luminaires, SRRC type approval is additionally required in China. CCC/CQC certification bodies are not recognised for EAC conformity purposes, and CN documentation is in Chinese rather than Russian.CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires (CNCA/CQC) SRRC type approval — required for wireless-enabled luminaires in China |
Placing an LED luminaire on the Armenian / EAEU market requires: (1) determining the applicable Technical Regulations (TR CU 004/2011 low-voltage, TR CU 020/2011 EMC, TR EAEU 037/2016 hazardous substances) and the referenced GOST/IEC standards; (2) conformity assessment via either an EAC certificate of conformity or an EAC declaration of conformity, issued through an accredited EAEU conformity-assessment body, supported by test reports from a laboratory accepted within the EAEU accreditation system; (3) a registered in-country importer / applicant established in the EAEU who holds the certificate or declaration and bears market-placement responsibility; (4) applying the single EAC conformity mark to the product and packaging; (5) compiling a technical file and product documentation typically in Russian. Armenia is landlocked, so goods arrive by rail/road; the EAC mark grants access across the whole EAEU customs territory.TR CU 004/2011 (Low Voltage), TR CU 020/2011 (EMC), TR EAEU 037/2016 (hazardous substance restriction) — applicable EAEU Technical Regulations EAEU conformity-assessment procedures — EAC certificate or declaration of conformity issued through an accredited EAEU body |
EAC and CCC are parallel, non-mutual frameworks — separate technical files, test reports, and conformity processes are needed for each market. Key EAC-specific requirements with no CN equivalent: (1) a registered in-country importer / applicant established in the EAEU must hold the EAC certificate or declaration and bear market-placement responsibility (China relies on the domestic CCC holder instead); (2) conformity assessment must run through an accredited EAEU body with test reports from a laboratory accepted in the EAEU system — CN CCC reports are not transferable; (3) the single EAC mark replaces CCC marking; (4) product documentation is typically required in Russian. Hazardous-substance restriction (TR EAEU 037/2016, see ledam-rohs) is an additional EAC obligation not covered by CCC. The matching 220/380 V 50 Hz grid means no electrical redesign is needed; the practical burden is the EAC conformity and importer setup.[INFORMATIONAL] Market access to Armenia runs through the EAEU EAC conformity framework: determine the applicable TR CU / TR EAEU regulations, obtain an EAC certificate or declaration through an accredited EAEU body, appoint a registered in-country importer/applicant established in the EAEU, apply the single EAC mark, and compile a Russian-language technical file. EAC and CCC are parallel and non-mutual — CN certification and reports do not transfer. The matching 220/380 V 50 Hz grid removes electrical redesign; the main burden is the EAC conformity process and importer setup. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation2026-06-15 · reference |
| EMC Emissions — TR CU 020/2011 + GOST CISPR 15 | China's equivalent is GB 17743-2017 (Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment), technically aligned with CISPR 15. For luminaires sold in China, GB 17743 compliance is required as part of CCC certification (which covers both safety and EMC for relevant categories). Testing is conducted at CNAS/CMA-accredited laboratories in China. Chinese CCC EMC test reports are not accepted under the EAEU TR CU 020/2011 conformity-assessment pathway.GB 17743-2017 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (SAC/SAMR, aligned with CISPR 15) | LED luminaires placed on the Armenian market must comply with the EMC Technical Regulation TR CU 020/2011 (Electromagnetic compatibility of technical means). Radio-disturbance (emission) requirements for lighting equipment are demonstrated against GOST CISPR 15 (the GOST adoption of CISPR 15: Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment), covering conducted emissions on the mains terminals (150 kHz–30 MHz) and radiated emissions (30 MHz–300 MHz). Conformity is shown via an EAC certificate or declaration of conformity issued through an accredited EAEU body, and the EAC mark is applied. Luminaires with integrated radio functionality (e.g., Bluetooth or Wi-Fi smart lighting) may additionally fall under EAEU radio-equipment requirements (TR EAEU 018 and related radio-frequency authorisation).TR CU 020/2011 — Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on electromagnetic compatibility of technical means GOST CISPR 15 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (GOST adoption of CISPR 15) |
GOST CISPR 15 and GB 17743 both derive from CISPR 15, so emission limits are largely harmonized and the matching 220/380 V 50 Hz mains removes any supply-related re-design. The gap is procedural and documentary: (1) Armenia requires conformity under the EMC regulation TR CU 020/2011 with an EAC certificate or declaration through an accredited EAEU body, separate from the TR CU 004 safety route; (2) testing should be against the GOST CISPR 15 text by a laboratory accepted within the EAEU accreditation system — CN CCC reports are not transferable; (3) an in-country registered importer and Russian-language documentation are required; (4) if the luminaire incorporates radio functionality, EAEU radio-equipment requirements (TR EAEU 018 / radio-frequency authorisation) additionally apply.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaires entering Armenia require EAC EMC conformity under TR CU 020/2011, with emissions assessed against GOST CISPR 15. Emission limits are broadly harmonized with China's GB 17743 (both CISPR 15-derived) and the 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, so the burden is primarily procedural — a separate EAC EMC assessment through an accredited EAEU body, an in-country importer, and Russian-language documentation. Smart luminaires with radio functions may additionally require EAEU radio-equipment compliance. Chinese CCC EMC reports do not satisfy the EAC pathway. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR CU 020/20112026-06-15 · reference |
| EMC Immunity — TR CU 020/2011 + GOST IEC 61547 | China's equivalent is GB/T 18595-2014 (General requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of lighting equipment), technically equivalent to IEC 61547. GB/T 18595 is a recommended standard (T = tuijian, recommended) and is less strictly enforced than the CN emissions standard GB 17743; CCC for CN luminaires generally focuses more on safety and emissions than on immunity. A product tested to IEC 61547 immunity levels will generally meet or exceed the CN GB/T 18595 requirements due to the shared IEC technical base.GB/T 18595-2014 — General requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of lighting equipment (SAC/SAMR — recommended standard, aligned with IEC 61547) | TR CU 020/2011 (EMC) also covers immunity: technical means placed on the Armenian / EAEU market must maintain adequate immunity in their intended electromagnetic environment. For lighting equipment, immunity is demonstrated against GOST IEC 61547 (the GOST adoption of IEC 61547: Equipment for general lighting purposes — EMC immunity requirements). Tests include electrostatic discharge (IEC 61000-4-2), electrical fast transient/burst (IEC 61000-4-4), surge (IEC 61000-4-5), conducted RF disturbances (IEC 61000-4-6), power-frequency magnetic field (IEC 61000-4-8), and voltage dips/interruptions (IEC 61000-4-11). Immunity evidence forms part of the EAC EMC conformity assessment under TR CU 020/2011.TR CU 020/2011 — Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on electromagnetic compatibility of technical means GOST IEC 61547 — Equipment for general lighting purposes — EMC immunity requirements (GOST adoption of IEC 61547) |
GOST IEC 61547 and GB/T 18595 both derive from IEC 61547, so the immunity content is largely harmonized. The difference is mandatory status and procedure: in Armenia, immunity is part of the binding EAC EMC conformity assessment under TR CU 020/2011, whereas in China GB/T 18595 is a recommended standard not universally enforced for all luminaire categories. Practically the gap is documentary — the EAC EMC technical file must contain immunity evidence (GOST IEC 61547), while CN CCC documentation may not include equivalent immunity reports. Testing should be by a laboratory accepted within the EAEU accreditation system; CN reports are not directly transferable, and Russian-language documentation plus an in-country importer are required.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaires must satisfy the EMC immunity requirements of TR CU 020/2011, demonstrated against GOST IEC 61547. Unlike China — where GB/T 18595 is a recommended standard not universally enforced — immunity is part of the binding EAC EMC assessment in Armenia. The technical content is largely harmonized with IEC 61547, so products already tested to GB/T 18595 may have a reduced re-testing burden, but the EAC technical file must contain adequate immunity evidence, testing must be within the EAEU accreditation system, and Russian-language documentation plus an in-country importer are required. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR CU 020/20112026-06-15 · reference |
| Photobiological Safety — Blue Light Hazard (GOST IEC 62471 Risk Groups) | China has adopted GB/T 20145-2006 (Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems), technically equivalent to IEC 62471:2006. GB/T 20145 is a recommended standard (T = tuijian, recommended) and is not universally mandatory for all LED luminaires in the Chinese market; enforcement and testing obligations are less prescriptive for residential luminaires. Both the CN and EAEU adoptions trace to the same IEC 62471 base, so the risk-group methodology is consistent.GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (SAC/SAMR — recommended standard) | For LED luminaires on the Armenian / EAEU market, photobiological safety is assessed against GOST IEC 62471 (the GOST adoption of IEC 62471: Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems), which classifies products into risk groups from RG0 (Exempt — no hazard) to RG3 (High risk) based on blue-light-weighted radiance and irradiance limits. The photobiological risk-group classification supports the EAC safety assessment under the low-voltage / luminaire safety route (TR CU 004/2011 with GOST IEC 60598-1) and the supporting technical file. RG2 and RG3 products carry usage restrictions and must be documented; most general-purpose LED luminaires fall in RG0 or RG1 with no usage restriction, but the classification should be recorded in the technical file.GOST IEC 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (GOST adoption of IEC 62471) TR CU 004/2011 — applicable low-voltage / luminaire safety framework supporting the technical file |
GOST IEC 62471 and GB/T 20145 both trace to IEC 62471, so the risk-group methodology is consistent and a product assessed in China can usually be re-expressed in the EAEU framework without re-engineering. The gap is procedural: in Armenia the photobiological risk-group classification supports the EAC safety technical file, whereas CN GB/T 20145 is recommended-only and not routinely enforced for residential luminaires. Manufacturers exporting to Armenia should document a defensible risk-group assessment (commonly by testing to GOST IEC 62471) within the EAC technical file; RG2 luminaires need warnings and usage instructions, and RG3 products face significant restrictions. Testing should be acceptable within the EAEU accreditation system, and documentation is typically required in Russian.[INFORMATIONAL] Photobiological risk-group classification for LED products in Armenia is assessed against GOST IEC 62471 and documented within the EAC safety technical file. The methodology shares the IEC 62471 base with China's GB/T 20145, so a CN assessment can usually be re-expressed for the EAEU framework. CN GB/T 20145 is recommended-only; for Armenia the classification should be formally recorded, with RG2/RG3 products requiring additional warnings and usage restrictions. Testing should be acceptable within the EAEU accreditation system and documentation provided in Russian. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR CU 004/2011 framework2026-06-15 · reference |
| Product Marking & Labelling — EAC Mark, Russian-Language Markings vs CN Labels | In China, luminaires carry the CCC mark (where in scope), GB-standard ratings markings, and the China Energy Label (CEL) under GB 30255 showing the efficiency grade (1–3). The CEL is an energy label only and does not include a blue-light-hazard class. CN markings and documentation are in Chinese. There is no Russian-language requirement, no EAC mark, and no in-country EAEU importer identification on CN-market products.GB 30255-2019 — China Energy Label for LED room luminaires (efficiency grade only, no blue-light class) CNCA-C10-01 — CCC marking for in-scope luminaires |
LED luminaires placed on the Armenian / EAEU market must carry the single EAC conformity mark and the markings required by the applicable Technical Regulations: manufacturer and importer identification, model/type, rated voltage and frequency (220/380 V, 50 Hz), rated power, protection class, and relevant safety/photobiological warnings where the product is RG2 or above. Markings and accompanying documentation (user manual, safety information) are typically required in Russian, and an in-country importer registered in the EAEU is identified on the product or packaging. Unlike the EU energy-label regime, the EAEU does not impose a directly equivalent rescaled A-G energy label with a printed blue-light-hazard class as a separate consumer label for lighting; the photobiological classification is handled within the technical file and product safety markings rather than as a mandated EU-style label.EAC conformity mark and marking requirements under the applicable EAEU Technical Regulations (TR CU 004/2011, TR CU 020/2011, TR EAEU 037/2016) EAEU labelling/markings — manufacturer/importer identification and product safety markings, typically in Russian |
The marking and labelling gap is mainly format and language rather than a missing physical performance: a CN-market luminaire carries the CCC mark and a Chinese-language CEL, while an Armenia-market product must carry the EAC mark, Russian-language safety markings and documentation, and identify a registered in-country EAEU importer. The matching 220/380 V 50 Hz rating means the rated-voltage marking is already correct for Armenia. Unlike the EU, the EAEU does not mandate a separate consumer-facing rescaled A-G energy label with a printed blue-light-hazard class for lighting; the photobiological classification is documented in the technical file and reflected in safety markings/warnings where applicable. Manufacturers must therefore re-artwork packaging and labels for the EAC mark and Russian-language content, and ensure the importer details appear on product/packaging.[INFORMATIONAL] For Armenia, the marking and labelling change is mainly format and language: the EAC mark, Russian-language safety markings and documentation, and a registered in-country EAEU importer identification replace the CN CCC mark and Chinese-language China Energy Label. The matching 220/380 V 50 Hz rating means the rated-voltage marking is already correct. Unlike the EU, the EAEU does not mandate a separate consumer A-G energy label with a printed blue-light-hazard class for lighting; the photobiological classification is documented in the technical file. Manufacturers should re-artwork packaging for the EAC mark and Russian-language content. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation marking requirements2026-06-15 · reference |
| Restriction of Hazardous Substances — TR EAEU 037/2016 (EAEU RoHS) | China's equivalent is GB/T 26572-2011 (Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in electrical and electronic products), covering the original 6 RoHS substances (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI), PBB, PBDE) with the same concentration thresholds. China RoHS 2 (SJ/T 11364-2014) requires a hazardous-substance disclosure label (orange for above-threshold / green for below-threshold) on EEE sold in China. As of 2026, the 4 phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) are not yet in the CN mandatory restricted list under GB/T 26572.GB/T 26572-2011 — Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in EEE (SAC/SAMR — covers original 6 substances) SJ/T 11364-2014 — Marking for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products (China RoHS 2 disclosure label) |
Armenia, as an EAEU member, applies TR EAEU 037/2016 (On restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products) — the EAEU's RoHS-style technical regulation. It restricts hazardous substances in homogeneous materials of electrical and electronic products (which includes LED luminaires) and requires conformity assessment (a declaration of conformity) plus the EAC mark. The restricted-substance set broadly mirrors EU RoHS: lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and the four phthalates DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP, with maximum concentration values aligned to the EU RoHS approach (generally 0.1% by weight, 0.01% for cadmium). This is a present, applicable obligation for the Armenian / EAEU market — not an absence.TR EAEU 037/2016 — Technical Regulation of the EAEU on restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products (EAEU RoHS) GOST standards referenced for hazardous-substance testing of EEE under TR EAEU 037/2016 |
TR EAEU 037/2016 is a present, mandatory obligation for Armenia, not an absence — and its restricted-substance set broadly mirrors EU RoHS, including the four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) that are NOT yet in China's GB/T 26572 mandatory list. The key material gap is therefore the phthalates: CN-compliant products have not necessarily been tested for them under CN RoHS, so for the Armenian market manufacturers must test all relevant homogeneous materials (plastics, cables, insulation, gaskets) for the four phthalates in addition to the original six substances. Procedurally, the EAEU route requires a declaration of conformity and the EAC mark (vs China's disclosure-label approach), testing acceptable within the EAEU accreditation system, an in-country registered importer, and Russian-language documentation.[INFORMATIONAL] TR EAEU 037/2016 is a present, mandatory RoHS-style restriction for LED luminaires entering Armenia — not an absence. It broadly mirrors EU RoHS, including the four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) that are not yet in China's GB/T 26572 mandatory list, so CN RoHS compliance alone is insufficient and the four phthalates must be tested. A declaration of conformity and the EAC mark are required, with testing acceptable within the EAEU accreditation system, an in-country importer, and Russian-language documentation. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR EAEU 037/20162026-06-15 · reference |
| Hazardous-Substance Conformity Assessment & Technical File vs CN Disclosure Label | China's approach under SJ/T 11364-2014 (China RoHS 2) is disclosure-based rather than a market-access gate: products carry a hazardous-substance disclosure label (orange logo with an environmental-protection-use-period number if any restricted substance exceeds the threshold, or a green logo if all are below threshold) and a materials table. GB/T 26572-2011 sets the concentration limits for the original 6 substances. China RoHS does not require a third-party conformity certificate to place general EEE on the market, and the 4 phthalates are not yet in the mandatory list. CN documentation is in Chinese.SJ/T 11364-2014 — Marking for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products (disclosure-based) GB/T 26572-2011 — concentration limits for 6 original restricted substances |
Under TR EAEU 037/2016, demonstrating restricted-substance compliance for an LED luminaire is a positive market-access gate: the manufacturer (via a registered in-country importer/applicant) must hold a declaration of conformity supported by a technical file — material declarations, supplier data, and test reports for the restricted substances on homogeneous materials — and apply the EAC mark. Test reports should come from a laboratory acceptable within the EAEU accreditation system. The hazardous-substance conformity is part of the overall EAC dossier alongside TR CU 004/2011 (safety) and TR CU 020/2011 (EMC). Documentation is typically required in Russian, and the importer bears responsibility for keeping the dossier available to EAEU market-surveillance authorities.TR EAEU 037/2016 — declaration of conformity and technical file for restriction of hazardous substances in EEE EAEU conformity-assessment procedures — EAC declaration supported by accredited-laboratory test reports |
The structural gap is the nature of the obligation: China RoHS is disclosure-based (label what is present), while TR EAEU 037/2016 is a positive conformity gate (demonstrate compliance via a declaration of conformity and technical file before market placement, with the EAC mark). For Armenia, manufacturers must assemble a substance-compliance dossier — material declarations, supplier data, and accredited test reports including the four phthalates — held by a registered in-country importer/applicant, rather than simply affixing a disclosure label. Test reports must be acceptable within the EAEU accreditation system; CN disclosure-label data and CN test reports are not directly transferable. Documentation is required in Russian, and the dossier must be retained and available to EAEU market-surveillance authorities.[INFORMATIONAL] TR EAEU 037/2016 is a positive conformity gate — a declaration of conformity plus a technical file (material declarations, supplier data, accredited test reports including the four phthalates) and the EAC mark — whereas China RoHS is disclosure-based. For Armenia, a registered in-country importer/applicant must hold the substance-compliance dossier; CN disclosure-label data and CN test reports are not directly transferable, testing must be acceptable within the EAEU accreditation system, and documentation must be in Russian. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR EAEU 037/20162026-06-15 · reference |
| Overall EAC Dossier Integration & Importer Responsibility vs CCC / CQC | In China, the comparable market-access gate is CCC (China Compulsory Certification) administered by CNCA, requiring mandatory third-party certification by a CNCA-authorized body such as CQC, with the CCC mark on in-scope luminaires. The China RoHS disclosure regime (SJ/T 11364) runs alongside but is separate from CCC. SRRC type approval is additionally required for wireless-enabled luminaires. The domestic CCC certificate holder bears responsibility in China; there is no equivalent requirement for a separate EAEU-established importer, and documentation is in Chinese. CCC/CQC results are not recognised for EAC purposes.CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires (CNCA/CQC) SJ/T 11364-2014 + SRRC type approval — separate CN RoHS disclosure and wireless approval regimes |
Placing an LED luminaire on the Armenian market requires an integrated EAC dossier that combines the three applicable Technical Regulations: TR CU 004/2011 (low-voltage safety, GOST IEC 60598-1 / 61347-2-13), TR CU 020/2011 (EMC, GOST CISPR 15 / IEC 61547), and TR EAEU 037/2016 (hazardous substances). Conformity is shown via the appropriate certificates and/or declarations of conformity issued or registered through accredited EAEU bodies, and the single EAC mark covers all applicable regulations. A registered in-country importer/applicant established in the EAEU holds the documents and bears market-placement responsibility, must keep the dossier available to market-surveillance authorities, and provides Russian-language documentation. The EAC mark grants access across the whole EAEU customs territory; Armenia being landlocked, goods arrive by rail/road.TR CU 004/2011, TR CU 020/2011, TR EAEU 037/2016 — combined applicable EAEU Technical Regulations covered by the single EAC mark EAEU conformity-assessment procedures — certificates/declarations through accredited EAEU bodies; registered in-country importer/applicant |
EAC and CCC are parallel, non-mutual market-access frameworks. EAC consolidates safety, EMC, and hazardous-substance conformity under a single mark and a single integrated dossier, whereas China splits these across CCC (safety/EMC), China RoHS disclosure, and SRRC (wireless). Key EAC-specific obligations with no direct CN counterpart: (1) a registered in-country importer/applicant established in the EAEU must hold the documents and bear market-placement responsibility; (2) conformity must run through accredited EAEU bodies with reports acceptable in the EAEU system — CN CCC and CN RoHS data do not transfer; (3) the single EAC mark replaces CCC marking; (4) Russian-language documentation is required. The matching 220/380 V 50 Hz grid means no electrical redesign, and the EAC mark grants access across the entire EAEU customs territory (relevant given Armenia is landlocked and supplied by rail/road).[INFORMATIONAL] Armenia market access consolidates safety (TR CU 004), EMC (TR CU 020), and hazardous substances (TR EAEU 037) into a single integrated EAC dossier under one EAC mark, with conformity through accredited EAEU bodies and a registered in-country importer/applicant established in the EAEU. EAC and CCC are parallel and non-mutual — CN CCC, China RoHS disclosure, and SRRC data do not transfer. The matching 220/380 V 50 Hz grid removes electrical redesign, and the single EAC mark grants access across the whole EAEU customs territory; Russian-language documentation is required. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation2026-06-15 · reference |
| Electrical Safety — General Luminaire (TR CU 004/2011 + GOST IEC 60598-1) | China's current general luminaire safety standard is GB/T 7000.1-2023 (Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests), replacing GB 7000.1-2015 from 1 January 2026, with the designation changing from mandatory GB to recommended GB/T. CCC obligations for in-scope luminaires remain governed by the applicable CNCA rules. Both GB 7000.1 and GOST IEC 60598-1 derive from the same IEC 60598-1 base, so the technical content is broadly aligned, but the conformity-assessment process, documentation language, and the EAC marking obligation are separate and non-mutual with CCC.GB/T 7000.1-2023 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (replaces GB 7000.1-2015 from 1 January 2026; recommended GB/T designation) CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires |
LED luminaires placed on the Armenian market fall under the EAEU / Customs Union framework. Electrical safety is governed by TR CU 004/2011 (On the safety of low-voltage equipment), which applies to equipment rated 50–1000 V AC. Conformity is demonstrated against GOST IEC 60598-1 (Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests), the GOST adoption of IEC 60598-1, which covers protection against electric shock, insulation resistance, creepage and clearance distances, thermal protection, mechanical strength, and wiring terminals. A successful assessment results in an EAC certificate or declaration of conformity issued through an accredited EAEU body and the EAC conformity mark on the product. Armenia's grid is 220/380 V, 50 Hz — a genuine match to China's 220/380 V 50 Hz nominal, so no supply-voltage redesign is required.TR CU 004/2011 — Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on the safety of low-voltage equipment GOST IEC 60598-1 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (GOST adoption of IEC 60598-1) |
Both Armenia (GOST IEC 60598-1) and China (GB 7000.1) build on the same IEC 60598-1 base, so the core safety content is largely aligned and the matching 220/380 V 50 Hz grid removes any supply-voltage redesign. The gap is procedural and documentary: Armenia requires conformity under TR CU 004/2011 with an EAC certificate or declaration issued through an accredited EAEU body, an in-country registered importer, and the EAC mark on the product — none of which a Chinese CCC certificate satisfies. Existing CN test reports cannot be directly reused for the EAC pathway; testing should be against the GOST IEC 60598-1 text by a laboratory accepted within the EAEU accreditation system. Documentation is typically required in Russian.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaires entering Armenia require EAC conformity under TR CU 004/2011, demonstrated against GOST IEC 60598-1, with a certificate or declaration from an accredited EAEU body and the EAC mark on the product. The technical content is largely harmonized with China's GB 7000.1 via the common IEC 60598-1 base, and the 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, so the burden is primarily procedural — EAC assessment, an in-country importer, and Russian-language documentation. Chinese CCC certification does not satisfy the EAC pathway. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR CU 004/20112026-06-15 · reference |
| LED Driver / Control Gear Safety (TR CU 004/2011 + GOST IEC 61347-2-13) | China's equivalent is GB 19510.14-2014 (Control gear for lamps — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules), technically aligned with IEC 61347-2-13. CCC certification may be required for LED drivers in certain power ranges sold in the Chinese residential market. Chinese CCC test reports under GB 19510.14 are not accepted under the EAEU TR CU 004/2011 conformity-assessment pathway.GB 19510.14-2014 — Control gear for lamps — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules (SAC/SAMR) | LED drivers (control gear for LED modules) intended for the Armenian market fall under TR CU 004/2011 (low-voltage safety) where they are within its voltage scope. Conformity is demonstrated against GOST IEC 61347-2-13 (Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules), the GOST adoption of IEC 61347-2-13, which specifies isolation class, dielectric strength, thermal endurance, and safety marking. If the driver is sold as a separate product (not integrated into the luminaire), it requires its own EAC conformity assessment and the EAC mark in addition to luminaire-level compliance.TR CU 004/2011 — Technical Regulation of the Customs Union on the safety of low-voltage equipment GOST IEC 61347-2-13 — Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules (GOST adoption of IEC 61347-2-13) |
GOST IEC 61347-2-13 and GB 19510.14 both derive from IEC 61347-2-13, so the driver safety content is largely harmonized and the matching 220 V 50 Hz input rating removes supply-side redesign. Key EAC-specific gaps: (1) a standalone driver sold separately from the luminaire needs its own EAC conformity assessment and EAC mark under TR CU 004/2011; (2) testing should be against the GOST IEC 61347-2-13 text by a laboratory accepted within the EAEU accreditation system, since CN CCC reports are not transferable; (3) an in-country registered importer and Russian-language documentation are required. Where the driver is integrated and not sold separately, its evidence forms part of the luminaire EAC technical file.[INFORMATIONAL] LED drivers placed on the Armenian market as standalone products require EAC conformity under TR CU 004/2011, assessed against GOST IEC 61347-2-13. The technical content is largely harmonized with China's GB 19510.14 via the common IEC 61347-2-13 base, and the 220 V 50 Hz rating matches China. Chinese CCC certification does not satisfy the EAC pathway. When the driver is integrated into a luminaire and not sold separately, its safety evidence forms part of the luminaire EAC technical file alongside the GOST IEC 60598-1 evidence. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR CU 004/20112026-06-15 · reference |
