GAP MATRIX
Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Armenia (EAEU/TR CU) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Safety Under EAEU Low-Voltage Regulation | China power-tool files commonly use GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 series safety reports, charger safety reports, and CCC evidence where the product or charger is within China compulsory-certification scope. These reports can support engineering comparison but do not replace an EAEU declaration or certificate for Armenia.GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 series China charger safety standards where applicable CCC where applicable |
Armenia is a full EAEU member, so in-scope corded power tools, chargers, external power supplies, and related electrical equipment normally need conformity to TR CU 004/2011 on low-voltage equipment safety before EAC marking and placement on the Armenian market. GOST IEC 60745 or GOST IEC 62841 family standards are commonly used as harmonized technical evidence for power-tool safety, while the legal obligation remains the EAEU or Customs Union technical regulation and the selected accredited conformity-assessment route.TR CU 004/2011 on safety of low-voltage equipment GOST IEC 60745 series for hand-held motor-operated electric tools where applicable GOST IEC 62841 series for electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools, and lawn and garden machinery where applicable EAC marking and accredited declaration or certification route for in-scope products |
The voltage system is a genuine match because Armenia uses 220/380 V at 50 Hz and China is nominally 220/380 V at 50 Hz, but market access is not automatic. The China file still needs mapping to TR CU 004/2011, accepted GOST IEC evidence, Armenian or EAEU economic-operator documentation, and the correct EAC declaration or certificate.[INFORMATIONAL] Not Armenia-ready until the tool, charger, and power-supply boundary is assessed against TR CU 004/2011 and the importer has valid EAC conformity evidence for the marketed configuration. | Eurasian Economic Union2026-06-16 · reference |
| Electromagnetic Compatibility | China files commonly include GB 4343-family EMC evidence for household appliances, electric tools, and similar apparatus, plus GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 safety evidence. Armenia still requires EAEU-format EMC mapping and EAC conformity documentation.GB 4343 series EMC standards GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 series |
Power tools with motors, electronic speed control, chargers, and power supplies sold into Armenia normally need EAEU conformity to TR CU 020/2011 on electromagnetic compatibility. The conformity file should cover emissions and immunity for the exact marketed system, including representative tool variants, charger or adapter combinations, and operating modes used for EAC declaration or certification.TR CU 020/2011 on electromagnetic compatibility of technical devices EAEU or GOST EMC standards selected by the accredited conformity-assessment body where applicable EAC marking and accredited declaration or certification route for in-scope apparatus |
The common gap is a China EMC report that does not match the Armenia-marketed configuration, omits the charger or battery pack, or lacks EAEU route mapping. The EAC file should identify the exact model family, test configuration, worst-case operating mode, and conformity-assessment route under TR CU 020/2011.[INFORMATIONAL] Not Armenia-ready until EMC evidence is tied to TR CU 020/2011 and covers the actual EAC-marked tool, battery, charger, and electronic-control configuration. | Eurasian Economic Union2026-06-16 · reference |
| Armenia Market Access Through EAC Conformity | China domestic evidence is commonly a package of GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 safety reports, GB 4343 EMC reports, CCC where applicable, and supplier material declarations. This package is not the same as an EAEU EAC file and normally needs local applicant, language, marking, and registry handling.GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 series GB 4343 series CCC where applicable China RoHS or supplier material evidence where applicable |
Armenia is a full EAEU member, so in-scope power tools are generally placed on the market through EAC conformity under applicable EAEU or Customs Union technical regulations. For power tools this usually means TR CU 004/2011, TR CU 020/2011, TR EAEU 037/2016, and an accredited declaration or certification route. SARM is Armenia's national standards and metrology body, while radio-enabled tools or chargers may also require national radio authority treatment. Armenia is landlocked, so shipment planning often needs transit documentation through Georgia or Iran in addition to conformity documents.Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union and EAEU common technical-regulation framework TR CU 004/2011 on safety of low-voltage equipment TR CU 020/2011 on electromagnetic compatibility of technical devices TR EAEU 037/2016 on restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and radio-electronic products EAC marking and accredited EAEU declaration or certification route SARM national standards and metrology role for Armenia |
The key market-access gap is administrative as well as technical: China reports must be converted into an EAEU conformity file with a valid applicant or representative, EAC marking, accepted test evidence, product identification, instructions and labels suitable for Armenia, and transit-aware shipment paperwork.[INFORMATIONAL] Not Armenia-ready if the file stops at China GB or CCC evidence; an EAEU EAC conformity package, accepted applicant route, marking, and Armenia-specific import handling are still required. | Eurasian Economic Union2026-06-16 · reference |
| Noise and Occupational-Use Context | China GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 tool safety evidence may include sound, vibration, warning, or instruction data depending on product type. It does not create a separate Armenia outdoor-noise approval because that is not the main target-market framework described for power-tool access.GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 series China workplace noise controls where applicable |
Armenia does not use an EU-style outdoor equipment noise directive as the standard power-tool market-access anchor. Noise should instead be treated through product instructions, declared sound and vibration data where required by the selected GOST IEC tool standard, and national workplace or occupational-health controls for use environments. Noise evidence may still matter for user safety and instructions, but it is not the same type of outdoor-noise CE procedure used in the EU.GOST IEC 60745 or GOST IEC 62841 family requirements for tool information where applicable Armenia national occupational health and workplace noise controls where applicable TR CU 019/2011 for personal protective equipment where PPE is supplied or specified |
The practical gap is avoiding an EU-style noise-directive assumption while still keeping noise and vibration information in instructions, risk assessment, and PPE guidance. If hearing protection is bundled or specified, PPE conformity under TR CU 019/2011 may become relevant.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat noise as a user-safety, instruction, workplace, and possible PPE issue for Armenia rather than as an EU-style outdoor-noise market-access directive, unless a product-specific local rule is identified. | Eurasian Economic Union2026-06-16 · reference |
| RoHS-Style Restricted Substances | China files may include China RoHS declarations, supplier material declarations, and GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 safety evidence. Those materials can support the review but must be mapped to TR EAEU 037/2016 scope, restricted substances, exemptions, and EAC file language.China RoHS requirements where applicable Supplier material declarations GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 series |
TR EAEU 037/2016 is present and applies to restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and radio-electronic products in the EAEU, including relevant power tools, chargers, and electronic accessories. Armenia market files should include material-control evidence, product-scope mapping, supplier declarations or testing, and EAC documentation that treats RoHS-style restrictions as a real target-market requirement, not as absent.TR EAEU 037/2016 on restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and radio-electronic products EAC conformity documentation for in-scope electrical and radio-electronic products |
The critical gap is assuming EAEU RoHS is absent. For Armenia it should be mapped as present, with homogeneous-material controls, supplier evidence, exemption review, and EAC declaration or certificate coverage for the actual tool, charger, and electronic accessories.[INFORMATIONAL] Not Armenia-ready until TR EAEU 037/2016 is treated as present and covered by material evidence and EAC documentation for the tool system. | Eurasian Economic Union2026-06-16 · reference |
| Battery Safety for Cordless Tools | China cordless-tool files may include GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 safety reports, charger reports, lithium-battery safety evidence, UN 38.3 transport evidence, and supplier cell declarations. These are useful inputs but need EAEU acceptance checks and system-level mapping for the tool, battery, and charger.GB 3883 or GB/T 3883 series China lithium battery safety evidence where applicable UN 38.3 transport test evidence CCC for chargers where applicable |
Cordless power tools sold into Armenia should treat the battery pack and cells as part of the EAC technical file. GOST IEC 62133-family evidence is commonly used for secondary lithium cells and batteries, while the charger and tool interface also need TR CU 004/2011, TR CU 020/2011, and TR EAEU 037/2016 review where in scope. Radio-enabled smart batteries or chargers may require national radio authority handling.GOST IEC 62133 family for secondary cells and batteries where accepted TR CU 004/2011 for charger and electrical safety where in scope TR CU 020/2011 for EMC where in scope TR EAEU 037/2016 for restricted substances where in scope National radio authority handling for radio-enabled tools, chargers, or battery packs where applicable |
The gap is treating the battery pack as a shipping accessory only. Armenia-bound cordless tools need battery safety, charger safety, EMC, restricted-substance, transport, and any radio functions tied back to the EAC-marked marketed configuration.[INFORMATIONAL] Not Armenia-ready for cordless tools until the battery pack, cells, charger, and any radio functions are tied into the EAEU conformity file for the actual EAC-marked system. | Eurasian Economic Union2026-06-16 · reference |
