| EAEU Energy Efficiency Requirements for Light Sources | China's equivalent is GB 30255-2019 (Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires), which defines three energy-efficiency grades: Grade 1 ≥90 lm/W, Grade 2 ≥80 lm/W, Grade 3 ≥70 lm/W, with Grade 3 as the minimum for CN market entry. China Energy Label (CEL) registration is mandatory for GB 30255-covered products, administered by SAMR/CQC/CECP. The CN grade is set against absolute lm/W thresholds and is assessed and registered separately from any EAEU energy-efficiency determination — 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/CQC/CECP |
Lighting products placed on the Kazakhstan / EAEU market are subject to EAEU energy-efficiency requirements, implemented through the EAEU energy-efficiency framework and the corresponding GOST standards on lighting performance and efficacy. Within this framework, regulated light sources must meet minimum efficacy and performance thresholds and carry energy-efficiency information; the requirements are administered at EAEU level and enforced in Kazakhstan through accredited conformity and market-surveillance bodies. Manufacturers should verify the current EAEU energy-efficiency thresholds applicable to the specific LED product sub-category, since efficacy minimums and product scope evolve.EAEU energy-efficiency requirements for lighting products (Eurasian Economic Union framework) GOST standards on LED lamp / luminaire performance and luminous efficacy (interstate standards) |
Both China and the EAEU regulate LED light-source energy efficiency on an lm/W basis, so a high-efficacy product (e.g. CN Grade 1 or 2) will generally be well positioned for the EAEU minimums, while a CN Grade 3 (70 lm/W) product is at higher risk against the applicable EAEU threshold and should be checked. The principal gap is procedural: EAEU energy-efficiency conformity and labelling are determined and registered separately from the CN CEL — CN CEL registration does not transfer, and the EAEU determination must be supported within the EAC / EAEU conformity documentation held by a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer. Because exact EAEU efficacy minimums and scope vary by product sub-category and evolve over time, verify the current EAEU energy-efficiency threshold for the specific LED product type before market entry.[INFORMATIONAL] LED light sources entering Kazakhstan are subject to EAEU energy-efficiency requirements on an lm/W basis, determined and documented separately from China's GB 30255 CEL scheme. High-efficacy CN products (Grade 1/2) are generally well placed, while CN Grade 3 (70 lm/W) products should be checked against the applicable EAEU threshold. CN CEL registration does not transfer; verify the current EAEU efficacy minimum for the specific product sub-category and ensure the determination is held in the EAC / EAEU file by a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — EAEU energy-efficiency requirements2026-06-15 · reference |
| EAEU Energy Labelling for Lighting Products vs CN China Energy Label | China's China Energy Label (CEL) under GB 30255-2019 is mandatory for LED room luminaires; products must be registered with CQC/CECP before affixing the CEL, which shows Grade 1–3 based on absolute lm/W thresholds. The CEL is a Chinese-language label registered in the CN scheme. There is no mutual recognition between the EAEU energy-labelling regime and the CN CEL — the class scales, registration bodies, and label artwork are different.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (China Energy Label scheme) China Energy Label (CEL) registration — CQC/CECP |
The EAEU operates an energy-labelling regime for regulated products under which lighting products carry an energy-efficiency class label (an A-G style scale within the EAEU energy-labelling framework). The label and supporting energy-efficiency determination are part of placing the product on the Kazakhstan / EAEU market and are linked to the product's conformity documentation and the EAC mark. The label and accompanying consumer information must be provided in Russian (and Kazakh where required), and the in-country importer / authorised representative is responsible for ensuring the correct class is shown. Verify the current EAEU energy-labelling class scale and scope applicable to the specific lighting product.EAEU energy-labelling requirements for lighting products (Eurasian Economic Union framework, energy-efficiency class label) EAEU consumer information / labelling requirements (Russian-language) |
Both regimes are mandatory energy-labelling schemes but are non-mutual: a product must carry the CN CEL for China and the EAEU energy-efficiency class label for Kazakhstan, with separate registration / determination and separate label artwork. The EAEU label and consumer information must be in Russian (and Kazakh where required) — the Chinese-language CEL cannot be reused — and the in-country importer / authorised representative must ensure the correct class is shown. The EAEU class scale is not directly comparable to the CN Grade 1–3 scale, so a product's CN grade does not determine its EAEU class. Chinese manufacturers must therefore re-determine the EAEU energy class for the specific product, re-artwork the label in Russian, and route it through the EAC / EAEU conformity documentation rather than relying on the existing CEL.[INFORMATIONAL] The EAEU energy-efficiency class label is mandatory for regulated lighting products on the Kazakhstan / EAEU market and is non-mutual with China's CEL. The EAEU class scale is not directly comparable to CN Grade 1–3, the label must be in Russian (and Kazakh where required), and the determination routes through the EAC / EAEU conformity documentation held by a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer. Chinese CEL registration does not transfer — re-determine the EAEU class and re-artwork the label for the EAEU market, and verify the current EAEU class scale for the specific product. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — EAEU energy-labelling requirements2026-06-15 · reference |
| EMC Emissions — TR CU 020/2011 + GOST CISPR 15 (Lighting Disturbance Limits) | 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 — the same international base as the GOST series applied in the EAEU. For luminaires sold in China, GB 17743 compliance is required as part of CCC certification for in-scope categories, tested at CNAS/CMA-accredited laboratories. Chinese CCC EMC test reports are not accepted under the TR CU 020/2011 conformity assessment pathway; the EAC EMC assessment is separate and non-mutual.GB 17743-2017 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (SAC/SAMR, CISPR 15 based) | LED luminaires placed on the Kazakhstan market must comply with the Customs Union / EAEU technical regulation TR CU 020/2011 (Electromagnetic compatibility of technical means). Emission requirements are demonstrated against GOST standards based on CISPR 15 (GOST CISPR 15 / GOST 30805.x series — 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 confirmed by an EAEU-accredited body via certificate or registered declaration, and the EAC mark covers the EMC requirement alongside the TR CU 004/2011 safety requirement. Luminaires with integrated wireless functionality additionally fall under the EAEU radio-equipment / frequency-use requirements.TR CU 020/2011 — Customs Union Technical Regulation Electromagnetic compatibility of technical means (EAEU / EAC mark) GOST CISPR 15 / GOST 30805.x — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (interstate standard, CISPR 15 based) |
Both the GOST CISPR 15 series and GB 17743 derive from CISPR 15, so emission limits are largely harmonized and the technical test content is comparable. The gap is procedural: (1)EMC conformity must be confirmed under TR CU 020/2011 by an EAEU-accredited body, and the EAC mark applied — Chinese CCC EMC reports cannot be reused; (2)testing generally must be performed or accepted by an EAEU-recognised laboratory; (3)an in-country importer / authorised representative in Kazakhstan or the EAEU must hold the conformity documents; (4)if the luminaire incorporates wireless functionality (e.g. Bluetooth dimming, Wi-Fi smart lighting), the EAEU radio-equipment / frequency-use requirements additionally apply. Because the limits are CISPR 15-based on both sides, the practical burden is re-confirmation under the EAC route rather than a fundamentally different emission target.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaires entering Kazakhstan must meet EMC emission requirements under TR CU 020/2011 against the GOST CISPR 15 series, confirmed by an EAEU-accredited body and covered by the EAC mark. Limits are broadly harmonized with CN GB 17743 (both CISPR 15-derived), so the burden is re-confirmation under the EAC route rather than a different emission target. Chinese CCC EMC reports cannot be reused, a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer must hold the documents, and wireless-enabled luminaires additionally trigger EAEU radio-equipment / frequency-use requirements. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation TR CU 020/20112026-06-15 · reference |
| EMC Immunity — TR CU 020/2011 + GOST IEC 61547 (Lighting Immunity) | China's equivalent is GB/T 18595-2014 (General requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of lighting equipment), technically equivalent to IEC 61547 — the same base as the GOST immunity series in the EAEU. GB/T 18595 is a recommended standard (T = tuijian, recommended) and is less strictly enforced than the CN emissions standard GB 17743; CN CCC for luminaires generally emphasises safety and emissions over immunity. Chinese immunity evidence is not accepted under the TR CU 020/2011 conformity assessment pathway.GB/T 18595-2014 — General requirements for the electromagnetic immunity of lighting equipment (SAC/SAMR — recommended standard, IEC 61547 based) | TR CU 020/2011 covers both emission and immunity aspects of electromagnetic compatibility. LED luminaires placed on the Kazakhstan market must provide adequate immunity in their intended electromagnetic environment, demonstrated against GOST standards based on IEC 61547 (GOST IEC 61547 / GOST 51514-style series — equipment for general lighting purposes, EMC immunity requirements). Tests include electrostatic discharge, electrical fast transient/burst, surge, conducted RF disturbances, power-frequency magnetic field, and voltage dips/interruptions (IEC 61000-4-x basis). Immunity evidence forms part of the same EAC conformity file as the emission evidence.TR CU 020/2011 — Customs Union Technical Regulation Electromagnetic compatibility of technical means (immunity requirements) GOST IEC 61547 — Equipment for general lighting purposes — EMC immunity requirements (interstate standard, IEC 61547 based) |
TR CU 020/2011 makes immunity a mandatory part of EMC conformity, whereas CN GB/T 18595 immunity is a recommended standard not universally enforced for all luminaire categories. Because the GOST immunity series and GB/T 18595 share the IEC 61547 base, a product already tested to GB/T 18595 will generally meet the EAEU immunity levels technically — the gap is primarily documentary: the EAC conformity file must contain adequate immunity evidence confirmed under the EAEU route, and an EAEU-accredited body must accept it. As with emissions, a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer must hold the conformity documents, and re-testing or report transfer to an EAEU-recognised laboratory may be required.[INFORMATIONAL] EMC immunity is a mandatory part of TR CU 020/2011 conformity for LED luminaires in Kazakhstan, demonstrated against the GOST IEC 61547 series and confirmed by an EAEU-accredited body within the EAC file. Chinese GB/T 18595 is a recommended standard and does not substitute for EAEU immunity confirmation, but the shared IEC 61547 base means products already tested in China generally meet the levels technically. The practical task is documentary re-confirmation under the EAC route, with a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer holding the documents. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation 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 — the same international base as the GOST series used in the EAEU. 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. Chinese GB/T 20145 evidence is a useful reference but is assessed separately under the EAEU conformity framework.GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (SAC/SAMR — recommended standard, IEC 62471 based) | For LED light sources and luminaires placed on the Kazakhstan market, photobiological safety is assessed against GOST standards based on IEC 62471 (GOST IEC 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems), which classifies products into risk groups from RG0 (Exempt — no hazard) through RG3 (High risk) based on blue-light weighted radiance and irradiance limits. The photobiological risk-group assessment is typically incorporated into the product safety / technical documentation supporting TR CU 004/2011 conformity and the EAC mark. RG2 and RG3 products carry usage restrictions and warnings that must be reflected in the documentation and product markings.GOST IEC 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (interstate standard, IEC 62471 based) TR CU 004/2011 — Customs Union Technical Regulation On the safety of low-voltage equipment (safety documentation basis) |
Both the GOST IEC 62471 series and CN GB/T 20145 derive from IEC 62471, so the risk-group classification method is technically shared and a product already assessed in China generally yields the same risk group. The practical gap is documentary and procedural: the photobiological risk-group assessment must be documented within the EAEU technical / safety file supporting TR CU 004/2011 conformity, in Russian where required, and held by a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer. Most general-purpose LED luminaires fall in RG0 or RG1 with no usage restriction, but the classification should be formally recorded; RG2 luminaires require warnings and usage instructions, and RG3 products face significant restrictions (typically professional/industrial use only). Note that GB/T 20145 is based on the older IEC 62471:2006 edition — confirm the applied GOST edition for the specific product type.[INFORMATIONAL] Photobiological risk-group classification for LED products in Kazakhstan is assessed against the GOST IEC 62471 series and documented within the TR CU 004/2011 safety / technical file supporting the EAC mark. The method is shared with CN GB/T 20145 (both IEC 62471-based), so the risk group is generally the same, but the documentation must sit within the EAEU file in Russian where required and be held by a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer. Formally record the risk group; RG2/RG3 products require additional warnings and usage restrictions. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — TR CU 004/2011 (safety documentation, GOST IEC 62471 basis)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Product Marking and Russian-Language Information vs CN China Energy Label | In China, mandatory product labelling for LED room luminaires centres on the China Energy Label (CEL) under GB 30255-2019, which shows energy-efficiency grade and lumen output, plus Chinese-language safety and CCC marking where applicable. The CEL does not include a blue-light-hazard class. There is no Chinese requirement to apply the EAC mark, provide Russian-language information, or name an EAEU in-country importer — these are EAEU-specific obligations with no CN counterpart.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (China Energy Label scheme) SJ/T 11364-2014 — Marking for restricted use of hazardous substances (China RoHS disclosure label, Chinese-language) |
Products placed on the Kazakhstan / EAEU market must carry the single EAC conformity mark (ЕАС) and bear consumer information in Russian (and Kazakh where required), including manufacturer and importer identification, rated electrical values, and relevant safety information. Unlike the EU, the EAEU does not impose a dedicated blue-light-hazard class on the product label; the photobiological risk group is documented in the technical file (see ledkz-photobio-01) rather than printed as a mandatory consumer-facing hazard class. Energy-efficiency information is provided under the EAEU energy-efficiency / labelling framework (see ledkz-ecodesign). The importer or authorised representative established in Kazakhstan / the EAEU is responsible for ensuring correct marking and language compliance.TR CU 004/2011 / TR CU 020/2011 — EAC conformity marking and consumer information requirements (Russian-language labelling) EAEU consumer information / labelling requirements (Russian, and Kazakh where required) |
The EAEU marking and information regime differs from China's on three counts with no direct CN counterpart: (1)the single EAC conformity mark (ЕАС) must be affixed in place of, and distinct from, the CN CCC mark; (2)consumer-facing information, instructions, and safety markings must be in Russian (and Kazakh where required) rather than Chinese — CN-market packaging cannot be used as-is; (3)an importer or authorised representative established in Kazakhstan / the EAEU must be identified on the product / packaging and hold the conformity documents. Unlike the EU, the EAEU does not require a printed blue-light-hazard class on the consumer label, so that specific EU label element is not a Kazakhstan obligation — the risk group lives in the technical file instead. Chinese manufacturers must therefore re-artwork labels and packaging for the EAEU market.[INFORMATIONAL] Kazakhstan / EAEU market access requires the EAC conformity mark and Russian-language (and Kazakh where required) consumer information and safety markings, with an EAEU in-country importer identified on the product. Unlike the EU, no printed blue-light-hazard class is required on the consumer label — the photobiological risk group is documented in the technical file instead. Chinese CEL / CCC labelling does not satisfy these requirements, so labels and packaging must be re-worked for the EAEU market. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — EAC marking and consumer information requirements2026-06-15 · reference |
| Restriction of Hazardous Substances in EEE — TR EAEU 037/2016 (RoHS-style) | China's equivalent is GB/T 26572-2011 (Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in electrical and electronic products), covering the same 6 substances (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr VI, PBB, PBDE) with the same concentration thresholds. China RoHS 2 (Management Measures, with SJ/T 11364-2014) requires a hazardous-substance disclosure label (orange for above-threshold, green for below) on EEE sold in China. The CN 6-substance scope aligns closely with TR EAEU 037/2016, but the CN disclosure-label approach differs from the EAEU declaration-of-conformity-plus-EAC-mark approach, and there is no mutual recognition.GB/T 26572-2011 — Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in EEE (SAC/SAMR — 6 substances) SJ/T 11364-2014 — Marking for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products (China RoHS 2 disclosure label) |
Kazakhstan, as an EAEU member, applies TR EAEU 037/2016 (On restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) — a RoHS-style regime that DOES apply to LED luminaires and is not an absence. It restricts hazardous substances in homogeneous materials of EEE placed on the EAEU market: Lead (Pb) ≤0.1%, Mercury (Hg) ≤0.1%, Cadmium (Cd) ≤0.01%, Hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) ≤0.1%, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) ≤0.1%, and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) ≤0.1%. Compliance is demonstrated by a registered declaration of conformity to TR EAEU 037/2016 and is covered by the EAC mark. The regulation has been in force since 1 March 2020.TR EAEU 037/2016 — Technical Regulation On restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (in force from 1 March 2020; EAC mark) GOST standards supporting TR EAEU 037/2016 substance testing of EEE (interstate standards) |
TR EAEU 037/2016 and CN GB/T 26572 cover the same 6 substances at the same concentration limits, so the underlying substance compliance is closely aligned and a CN-RoHS-compliant product is generally well positioned on substance content. The gap is procedural and documentary, not a substance-scope gap: (1)EAEU compliance requires a registered declaration of conformity to TR EAEU 037/2016 confirmed within the EAC process — the CN disclosure label does not satisfy it; (2)supporting test reports must be acceptable under the EAEU route (EAEU-recognised laboratory), and CN GB/T 26572 reports generally cannot be reused as-is; (3)a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer / authorised representative must hold the conformity documents; (4)the EAC marking and Russian-language documentation replace the CN disclosure label and Chinese-language marking. Verify whether any application-specific exemptions in TR EAEU 037/2016 apply to particular LED components.[INFORMATIONAL] Kazakhstan applies a RoHS-style regime — TR EAEU 037/2016 — to LED luminaires; it is not an absence. It restricts the same 6 substances at the same limits as CN GB/T 26572, so substance compliance is closely aligned for a CN-RoHS-compliant product. The work is procedural: a registered declaration of conformity to TR EAEU 037/2016 within the EAC process, acceptable supporting test reports, Russian-language documentation, and a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer holding the documents — the CN disclosure label does not substitute. Check TR EAEU 037/2016 for any application-specific exemptions. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation TR EAEU 037/20162026-06-15 · reference |
| TR EAEU 037/2016 Substance Scope vs EU 10-Substance RoHS (Phthalates) | China's GB/T 26572-2011 covers the same original 6 RoHS substances and, as of 2026, also does not mandate the 4 EU phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) in its restricted list. The CN and EAEU substance scopes are therefore closely matched at 6 substances. China RoHS 2 implements its requirement through a disclosure label (SJ/T 11364-2014) rather than a conformity declaration, while the EAEU implements TR EAEU 037/2016 through a registered declaration of conformity and the EAC mark.GB/T 26572-2011 — Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in EEE (6 substances; 4 phthalates not yet mandated as of 2026) | The TR EAEU 037/2016 restricted-substance list covers the original 6 RoHS substances (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr VI, PBB, PBDE) at the same concentration limits as both the original EU RoHS and CN GB/T 26572. As of 2026, TR EAEU 037/2016 does not mandate the 4 phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) that the EU added via Directive (EU) 2015/863. For the Kazakhstan / EAEU market, therefore, the binding substance scope is the 6-substance list — narrower than the EU 10-substance list but aligned with the CN 6-substance scope. Manufacturers should still re-verify the current consolidated TR EAEU 037/2016 substance annex, as the list may be expanded over time.TR EAEU 037/2016 — restricted-substance annex (6 substances: Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr VI, PBB, PBDE) Reference: Directive (EU) 2015/863 added 4 phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) to EU RoHS — not mandated under TR EAEU 037/2016 as of 2026 |
Unlike the EU, neither the EAEU nor China currently mandates the 4 phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP), so a CN-RoHS-compliant LED luminaire's substance scope generally matches the TR EAEU 037/2016 6-substance requirement — there is no added phthalate-testing burden for the Kazakhstan market comparable to the EU. The remaining differences are procedural rather than substance-scope: the EAEU requires a registered declaration of conformity and EAC marking (vs the CN disclosure label), supporting reports acceptable under the EAEU route, Russian-language documentation, and a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer. Because restricted-substance lists can be expanded, re-verify the current TR EAEU 037/2016 substance annex before each market entry to confirm whether additional substances (e.g. phthalates) have since been added.[INFORMATIONAL] TR EAEU 037/2016 restricts the same 6 substances at the same limits as CN GB/T 26572 and, as of 2026, does not mandate the 4 EU phthalates — so a CN-RoHS-compliant product's substance scope generally matches the Kazakhstan requirement, with no EU-style added phthalate burden. The remaining work is procedural: a registered declaration of conformity, EAC marking, EAEU-acceptable reports, Russian documentation, and an in-country importer.

| EAC Conformity Process and Technical File vs CCC / CQC | In China, the primary mandatory certification for in-scope luminaires is CCC (China Compulsory Certification), administered by CNCA and carried out by CNCA-authorized bodies such as CQC. CCC is a mandatory third-party scheme; CQC voluntary certification is available for products outside mandatory CCC. For wireless-enabled luminaires, SRRC type approval is additionally required in China. CCC bodies and certificates are not recognised for the EAEU EAC conformity pathway — the two systems are parallel and non-mutual.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 Kazakhstan / EAEU market under the EAC mark requires: (1)compile a technical file (design drawings, component specifications, test reports for TR CU 004/2011 safety, TR CU 020/2011 EMC, and TR EAEU 037/2016 substance restriction, plus energy-efficiency and photobiological documentation); (2)confirm conformity by the applicable scheme — either a certificate of conformity issued by an EAEU-accredited certification body or a registered declaration of conformity, depending on product category and regulation; (3)affix the single EAC conformity mark (ЕАС); (4)appoint an importer or authorised representative established in Kazakhstan or another EAEU member state who holds the documents and is named on them; (5)provide consumer information, instructions, and safety markings in Russian (and Kazakh where required); (6)retain the conformity documentation for the period required by the EAEU regulations.

EAC and CCC are parallel, non-mutual conformity systems — a product needs separate technical files, test reports, and certification / declaration processes for each market. Key EAEU-specific requirements with no CN equivalent: (1)conformity must be confirmed under the EAEU regulations (TR CU 004/2011 + TR CU 020/2011 + TR EAEU 037/2016) by an EAEU-accredited body or registered declaration, not by CCC; (2)an importer or authorised representative established in Kazakhstan / the EAEU must hold the conformity documents and be named on the product / packaging — the functional analogue of an in-country responsible person; (3)documentation, instructions, and markings must be in Russian (and Kazakh where required) rather than Chinese; (4)the single EAC mark (ЕАС) replaces the CN CCC mark; (5)testing must route through an EAEU-recognised laboratory. EAEU energy-efficiency labelling (see ledkz-ecodesign) is an additional obligation not covered by CCC.[INFORMATIONAL] EAC conformity for LED luminaires requires a combined technical file covering TR CU 004/2011 safety, TR CU 020/2011 EMC, and TR EAEU 037/2016 substance restriction, confirmed by an EAEU-accredited body or registered declaration, with the single EAC mark applied and an importer / authorised representative established in Kazakhstan or the EAEU holding the documents. CCC and EAC are parallel non-mutual processes; CCC certificates do not transfer.

| 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; both share a common IEC 60598-1 base with the GOST IEC 60598-1 series used in the EAEU. For luminaires sold in China, in-scope products are covered by mandatory CCC (China Compulsory Certification) under the applicable CNCA rules, tested by CNCA-authorized laboratories. Chinese CCC certificates and GB-standard test reports are not accepted under the TR CU 004/2011 conformity assessment pathway; EAC certification is a separate, non-mutual process.GB/T 7000.1-2023 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (replaces GB 7000.1-2015 from 1 January 2026) CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires (CNCA/CQC) |
LED luminaires placed on the Kazakhstan market must comply with the Customs Union / EAEU technical regulation TR CU 004/2011 (On the safety of low-voltage equipment), which applies to electrical equipment rated 50–1000 V AC. Conformity is demonstrated against GOST standards based on IEC 60598-1 (Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests; the interstate GOST IEC 60598-1 series is the applied basis), covering protection against electric shock, insulation, creepage and clearance, thermal protection, and mechanical strength. Conformity is confirmed by either a certificate of conformity or a declaration of conformity registered with an EAEU-accredited body, after which the single EAC conformity mark (ЕАС) is affixed. Kazakhstan's 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China's nominal voltage and frequency.TR CU 004/2011 — Customs Union Technical Regulation On the safety of low-voltage equipment (EAEU / EAC mark) GOST IEC 60598-1 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (interstate standard, IEC 60598-1 based) |
Both regimes share the IEC 60598-1 technical base, so the underlying safety construction is largely comparable and the matching 220/380 V 50 Hz grid means no electrical re-rating is required on a voltage/frequency basis. The gap is procedural and documentary: (1)conformity must be confirmed under TR CU 004/2011 against GOST IEC 60598-1 by an EAEU-accredited certification body or via a registered declaration, and the EAC mark affixed — Chinese CCC certificates cannot be reused; (2)an in-country importer or authorised representative established in Kazakhstan / the EAEU must hold the conformity documents and be named on them; (3)technical documentation, labelling, and operating instructions must be provided in Russian (and Kazakh where required); (4)existing CN test reports generally cannot be directly transferred — testing to the applied GOST IEC 60598-1 edition by an EAEU-recognised laboratory is typically required. The standalone luminaire safety case is usually combined with the EMC (TR CU 020/2011) and substance-restriction (TR EAEU 037/2016) assessments under a single EAC conformity file.[INFORMATIONAL] LED luminaires entering Kazakhstan require conformity under Customs Union technical regulation TR CU 004/2011 against GOST IEC 60598-1, confirmed by an EAEU-accredited body and marked with the EAC conformity mark. Chinese CCC certificates and GB/T 7000.1 reports do not satisfy this pathway. The 220/380 V 50 Hz grid matches China, so no voltage re-rating is needed, but a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer must hold the documents and Russian-language documentation is required. The safety case is commonly combined with the EMC and substance-restriction assessments in one EAC file. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation 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 — the same IEC base as the GOST series applied in the EAEU. CCC certification may be required for LED drivers in certain power ranges sold in the Chinese residential market. Chinese GB 19510.14 / CCC reports are not accepted under the 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) placed on the Kazakhstan market must comply with TR CU 004/2011 on low-voltage equipment safety. Conformity is demonstrated against GOST standards based on IEC 61347-2-13 (Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules), covering 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 conformity assessment under TR CU 004/2011 and its own EAC mark in addition to the luminaire-level conformity.TR CU 004/2011 — Customs Union Technical Regulation On the safety of low-voltage equipment (EAEU / EAC mark) GOST IEC 61347-2-13 — Lamp controlgear — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules (interstate standard, IEC 61347-2-13 based) |
GOST IEC 61347-2-13 and GB 19510.14 share the IEC 61347-2-13 technical base, so the driver safety construction is largely comparable. Key Kazakhstan / EAEU-specific gaps: (1)if the LED driver is sold standalone, a separate TR CU 004/2011 conformity assessment and a separate EAC mark are required for the driver itself; (2)conformity must be confirmed by an EAEU-accredited body (certificate or registered declaration) — Chinese CCC certificates cannot be reused; (3)an in-country importer / authorised representative in Kazakhstan or the EAEU must hold the conformity documents; (4)documentation and safety markings must be in Russian (and Kazakh where required). When the driver is integrated into the luminaire, its safety evidence forms part of the luminaire's TR CU 004/2011 technical file rather than a separate EAC certificate.[INFORMATIONAL] LED drivers placed on the Kazakhstan market as standalone products require TR CU 004/2011 conformity against GOST IEC 61347-2-13 and their own EAC mark. Chinese GB 19510.14 / CCC evidence does not satisfy the EAEU pathway. When the driver is integrated into a luminaire and not sold separately, its safety evidence forms part of the luminaire's TR CU 004/2011 technical file. An EAEU-accredited body must confirm conformity and a Kazakhstan / EAEU in-country importer must hold the documents. | Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) — Technical Regulation TR CU 004/20112026-06-15 · reference |
