|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conformity Assessment — National O'zDST Certification (Uzstandart) for Respiratory PPE | For GB 2626-2019 (KN95) industrial respirators, China mandates CCC (China Compulsory Certification) administered by CNCA through authorised certification bodies (e.g. CQC). The process involves type testing at a CNAS-accredited laboratory and a factory inspection. For GB 19083-2010 medical-protective masks, NMPA Class II medical device registration applies. Chinese CCC certificates and NMPA registrations are not recognised in Uzbekistan as equivalent to the national O'zDST conformity certification. Separate Uzbekistan-specific testing and certification are required even where a Chinese CCC certificate exists.GB 2626-2019 — Non-powered air-purifying particle respirator (KN90/KN95) — CCC mandatory (CNCA/SAMR) GB 19083-2010 — Technical requirements for medical protective mask — NMPA Class II medical device registration |
Respiratory protective equipment (FFP masks, particle respirators) sold or used in Uzbekistan must undergo national conformity confirmation administered by Uzstandart (the Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers). The conformity confirmation takes the form of either a Conformity Certificate (Sertifikat sootvetstviya) or a Declaration of Conformity (Deklaratsiya o sootvetstvii), depending on the product risk category and applicable O'zDST standard. Testing must be conducted by a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory against applicable O'zDST or adopted GOST standards (primarily the GOST 12.4.x Occupational Safety Standards System series covering respiratory protection, including GOST 12.4.041 and related adopted standards). The certification body must be accredited by the national accreditation body under Uzstandart. Unlike EAEU member states, Uzbekistan does not accept EAC (Eurasian Conformity) marking — national O'zDST conformity confirmation is required separately.O'zDST national conformity certification/declaration — Uzstandart (Agency for Technical Regulation) GOST 12.4.041 — Respiratory protective equipment — Filtering half masks to protect against particles (adopted as basis for O'zDST) GOST 12.4.x series — Occupational Safety Standards System (SSBT), respiratory protection standards adopted under O'zDST |
Full re-certification is required in Uzbekistan. Specific gaps: (1) Chinese CCC (GB 2626) and NMPA registrations are not recognised by Uzstandart; (2) EAC marking (used for EAEU member states) is not accepted in Uzbekistan — Uzbekistan is not an EAEU member; (3) Testing must be conducted in a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory against O'zDST/GOST standards; (4) A Conformity Certificate or Declaration must be issued by a Uzstandart-accredited certification body; (5) The applicable O'zDST/GOST standard for filtering half masks (GOST 12.4.041 or current adopted equivalent) may have different test parameters than GB 2626 — direct equivalence cannot be assumed; (6) Technical documentation must be prepared to support the national conformity confirmation.[INFORMATIONAL] Uzbekistan requires national O'zDST conformity confirmation (certificate or declaration) for respiratory PPE, administered by Uzstandart-accredited bodies against GOST 12.4.x/O'zDST standards. Chinese CCC (GB 2626) and EAC certificates are not accepted as substitutes. Exporters must engage a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory and certification body to complete national conformity confirmation before market entry. | Uzstandart — Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan2026-06-16 · reference |
| Labelling Requirements — Uzbek-Language Information Mandatory for Respiratory PPE | Chinese respirators (GB 2626-2019 KN95) must carry Chinese-language labelling including: product name, standard number (GB 2626-2019), protection class (KN90/KN95), manufacturer name and address, production date and shelf life, and the CCC mark (for CCC-certified products). For medical-protective masks (GB 19083), NMPA registration number, medical device classification, and Mandarin-language instructions are required. China-origin labelling in Chinese does not satisfy Uzbek-language requirements — new Uzbek-language labels or inserts must be prepared for the Uzbekistan market.GB 2626-2019 — labelling requirements (Chinese, including standard number, protection class, manufacturer, dates) GB 19083-2010 — labelling requirements (Chinese, NMPA registration number, medical device classification) |
Products placed on the Uzbekistan market, including respiratory protective equipment (FFP masks, particle respirators), must carry labelling in the Uzbek language (O'zbek tili). Russian is also widely used in technical and commercial contexts. Required label information typically includes: (1) Product name and type/class (e.g. filtering half mask, protection class); (2) Manufacturer name and address; (3) Country of origin; (4) Applicable standard (e.g. O'zDST / GOST standard reference); (5) Conformity certificate or declaration number and issuing body; (6) Intended use and limitations; (7) Storage and operating conditions; (8) Date of manufacture and shelf life / expiry date where applicable; (9) Instructions for use in Uzbek (may be in a separate insert). Labelling requirements derive from the applicable O'zDST product standard and general consumer/technical regulation labelling rules. Pure Chinese-language labelling is not sufficient for market entry.O'zDST product standards — labelling requirements per applicable GOST 12.4.x standard Uzbekistan national labelling regulations for regulated goods (O'zDST/Uzstandart framework) Uzbek language (O'zbek tili) mandatory; Russian acceptable in parallel for technical documentation |
Chinese-language-only labelling is not acceptable for the Uzbekistan market. Exporters must: (1) Add Uzbek-language (O'zbek tili) product name, intended use, instructions, storage conditions, and manufacturer/importer details to the label or in a separate insert; (2) Include the applicable O'zDST/GOST standard reference on the label (replacing or supplementing the GB standard reference); (3) Add the Uzbekistan conformity confirmation number and issuing body; (4) Ensure the date format and expiry information comply with Uzbekistan label rules; (5) Consider adding Russian-language versions in parallel, as Russian is widely used in Uzbekistan technical commerce. Labels must be applied before or at import — relabelling in-country may require involvement of the local importer and must not obscure original markings that form part of the conformity confirmation.[INFORMATIONAL] Chinese-language-only labelling is insufficient for the Uzbekistan market. Uzbek-language (O'zbek tili) product information, instructions, and conformity confirmation references are required. Exporters should prepare Uzbek (and optionally Russian) language labels or inserts, include the O'zDST/GOST standard reference and national conformity confirmation number, and verify label compliance with the local importer before shipment. | Uzstandart — Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan2026-06-16 · reference |
| Product Marking — No EAC Mark; National O'zDST Conformity Mark Required | Chinese respiratory PPE (GB 2626-2019 KN95) certified under CCC must display the CCC (China Compulsory Certification) mark on the product or its packaging. The CCC mark is the mandatory China market conformity symbol administered by CNCA. Medical-protective masks (GB 19083) carry NMPA medical device registration marks. Neither the CCC mark nor NMPA registration marks are recognised or required in Uzbekistan — the national O'zDST conformity mark is the correct marking for the Uzbekistan market.CCC (China Compulsory Certification) mark — mandatory for GB 2626-2019 KN95 industrial respirators in China NMPA medical device registration mark — for GB 19083-2010 medical-protective masks in China |
Uzbekistan does NOT use the EAC (Eurasian Conformity) mark applied across EAEU member states (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan). As a non-member EAEU observer state, products marketed in Uzbekistan must carry the national Uzbekistan conformity mark ('UZ' conformity symbol or the O'zDST-prescribed marking) issued as part of the national conformity certification or declaration process administered by Uzstandart-accredited certification bodies. The conformity marking must be accompanied by the conformity certificate or declaration number on the product or its packaging. Applying an EAC mark alone does not satisfy Uzbekistan market surveillance requirements and does not constitute valid conformity marking under the national regime. The specific conformity mark format and placement rules are governed by the applicable O'zDST standard and Uzbekistan national conformity confirmation regulations.Uzbekistan national conformity marking rules (O'zDST/Uzstandart framework — UZ conformity symbol) Applicable O'zDST/GOST product standard specifying marking requirements for respiratory PPE EAC mark: NOT applicable — Uzbekistan is NOT an EAEU member state |
The EAC mark (used for EAEU member states) is NOT valid in Uzbekistan. The China CCC mark is not recognised. Exporters must: (1) Obtain the national Uzbekistan conformity mark (UZ conformity symbol / O'zDST-prescribed marking) through the national certification process with a Uzstandart-accredited body; (2) Apply the conformity mark to the product or packaging before or at import; (3) Ensure the conformity certificate or declaration number is referenced on or with the product marking; (4) Do not apply EAC marking alone as a substitute — Uzbekistan market surveillance authorities may treat EAC-only marked goods as non-conforming. Verify current mark format with the local importer and Uzstandart-accredited certification body before shipment.[INFORMATIONAL] The EAC mark used in EAEU member states is NOT valid in Uzbekistan. Chinese CCC marking is also not recognised. The correct marking for the Uzbekistan market is the national O'zDST conformity mark issued through a Uzstandart-accredited certification body. Exporters should confirm current mark format requirements with their local importer and certification body before shipment. | Uzstandart — Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan2026-06-16 · reference |
| Performance and Filtration Testing — GOST 12.4.x / O'zDST Standards for Respiratory PPE | China's primary standard for industrial particle respirators is GB 2626-2019 (Non-powered air-purifying particle respirator), covering KN90, KN95, and KP classes with mandatory CCC certification through CNCA-authorised bodies. Test parameters under GB 2626 (including NaCl aerosol and paraffin oil aerosol filtration efficiency, breathing resistance, dead space CO2, and leakage tests) share broad structural similarities with GOST 12.4.041, but are not identical. Specific filter efficiency thresholds, aerosol test conditions, particle sizes, and test flow rates may differ between GB 2626 and GOST 12.4.041 — direct equivalence cannot be assumed. Exporters should not expect that a Chinese CCC certificate or CNAS-accredited laboratory test report under GB 2626 will be accepted in place of testing against O'zDST/GOST standards. Bridging data or re-testing is typically required.GB 2626-2019 — Non-powered air-purifying particle respirator (KN90/KN95/KP) — CCC mandatory (CNCA/SAMR) GB 19083-2010 — Technical requirements for medical protective mask — NMPA Class II (medical-grade, separate track) |
Respiratory protective equipment (filtering half masks, FFP-class or equivalent particle respirators) placed on the Uzbekistan market must be tested for filtration efficiency, breathing resistance, and structural integrity against the applicable O'zDST national standard. The primary technical basis is the GOST 12.4.x Occupational Safety Standards System (SSBT) series as adopted or harmonised under Uzbekistan's O'zDST regime. Key standard: GOST 12.4.041 (Respiratory protective equipment — Filtering half masks to protect against particles), which Uzbekistan has adopted. Some O'zDST standards are additionally harmonised with EN 149 (European filtering half mask standard), but EN 149 test reports are not automatically accepted as substitutes — testing must be conducted in a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory. Protection classes under GOST 12.4.041 (FFP1/FFP2/FFP3 designations in adopted text) must match the performance claims on the product label. Products making filtration efficiency claims (e.g. 95% non-oil particle filtration) must support those claims with test data from a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory against the applicable O'zDST/GOST standard, not only against GB 2626 test methods.GOST 12.4.041 — Respiratory protective equipment — Filtering half masks to protect against particles (adopted as O'zDST) GOST 12.4.x series — Occupational Safety Standards System (SSBT) — respiratory protection (adopted under O'zDST/Uzstandart) O'zDST national standards harmonised with EN 149 (where applicable — verify current adopted text with Uzstandart) |
Chinese GB 2626-2019 (KN95) test reports from CNAS-accredited laboratories are NOT directly accepted as equivalent to GOST 12.4.041 / O'zDST test reports for Uzbekistan market conformity. Key gaps: (1) Test aerosol conditions and particle size distributions may differ between GB 2626 and GOST 12.4.041; (2) Breathing resistance and leakage test methodologies may not be identical; (3) Protection class designations (KN90/KN95 under GB vs FFP1/FFP2 under GOST 12.4.041) require explicit mapping — they are not formally equivalent; (4) Testing must be conducted in a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory (not merely CNAS-accredited); (5) The test report must be submitted as part of the national conformity confirmation dossier with a Uzstandart-accredited certification body; (6) If the O'zDST adopted standard has been updated or amended relative to the version used for Chinese testing, re-testing against the current O'zDST text is required.[INFORMATIONAL] Chinese KN95 (GB 2626-2019) test reports do not satisfy Uzbekistan O'zDST/GOST 12.4.041 testing requirements. Re-testing in a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory against the applicable O'zDST standard is required. Protection class designations (KN95 vs FFP2) are not formally equivalent — explicit mapping and supporting test data are needed. Exporters should engage a Uzstandart-accredited laboratory and certification body early in the export planning process. | Uzstandart — Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan2026-06-16 · reference |
| Hazardous Substance Restrictions — No TR EAEU 037/2016 (RoHS-equivalent); No Horizontal EAEU RoHS in Uzbekistan | China's primary hazardous substance restriction regime for electrical and electronic products is SJ/T 11363 (now superseded by GB/T 26572 threshold values) and the Management Methods for Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (China RoHS, administered by MIIT). However, China RoHS applies to electrical and electronic products — it does not directly cover non-powered filtering respirators (GB 2626-2019 KN95) as a regulated category. For GB 2626-2019 respirators, material safety requirements (e.g. absence of harmful substances in filter media, face-seal materials, and straps in contact with skin or respiratory tract) are governed by the product standard itself. No separate RoHS declaration is required for non-powered respirators under Chinese domestic rules. For the Uzbekistan market, the correct approach is to rely on the O'zDST/GOST product standard's material provisions rather than a China RoHS or EAEU RoHS framework.GB/T 26572 — Requirements on concentration limits for certain restricted substances in electrical and electronic products (China RoHS threshold — applies to EEE, not non-powered respirators) GB 2626-2019 — material requirements within product standard text (no separate China RoHS declaration required for non-powered respirators) |
Uzbekistan is NOT a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and is NOT bound by TR EAEU 037/2016 (On restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment — the EAEU RoHS-equivalent regulation), which applies only to full EAEU member states (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan). For respiratory PPE (FFP masks, particle respirators) in Uzbekistan, there is NO equivalent horizontal RoHS-style restriction that directly mirrors TR EAEU 037/2016 or EU RoHS (2011/65/EU). Hazardous substance requirements for PPE in Uzbekistan, to the extent they apply, derive from the applicable O'zDST/GOST product standard's material safety provisions (e.g. restrictions on materials in direct skin/respiratory contact) rather than from a separate horizontal RoHS regime. Exporters should review the applicable O'zDST product standard for any material compatibility or substance restriction clauses relevant to the specific respirator materials (e.g. filters, face seal, straps). No separate RoHS-equivalent declaration or substance restriction certificate is required by Uzbekistan for respiratory PPE under current national rules.TR EAEU 037/2016 — On restriction of hazardous substances in EEE — DOES NOT APPLY in Uzbekistan (EAEU observer, not member) O'zDST/GOST 12.4.x product standards — material safety and substance restrictions as specified in applicable standard text (review specific adopted standard) No separate horizontal RoHS-equivalent national law identified for respiratory PPE in Uzbekistan under current national rules |
TR EAEU 037/2016 (EAEU RoHS-equivalent) does NOT apply in Uzbekistan — exporters preparing documentation for EAEU member states (Russia, Kazakhstan) must not assume those documents satisfy Uzbekistan requirements. Conversely, Uzbekistan does NOT currently require a separate standalone RoHS-equivalent declaration for respiratory PPE. The practical implication: (1) No EAC RoHS marking or TR EAEU 037/2016 compliance declaration is needed for Uzbekistan; (2) Material safety for PPE in Uzbekistan is governed by the applicable O'zDST/GOST product standard — review the specific adopted standard for material restrictions (skin/respiratory contact, filter media composition); (3) If the respirator includes any electrical components (e.g. powered air-purifying respirator, PAPR), additional national electrical safety requirements under Uzbekistan national law may apply — verify with the local importer; (4) Exporters should not represent their products as TR EAEU 037/2016 compliant in Uzbekistan-facing marketing materials, as that regulation does not apply.[INFORMATIONAL] TR EAEU 037/2016 (EAEU RoHS-equivalent) does NOT apply in Uzbekistan — Uzbekistan is an EAEU observer only. No equivalent standalone horizontal hazardous substance restriction regime applies to respiratory PPE in Uzbekistan under current national rules. Material safety for PPE is governed by the applicable O'zDST/GOST product standard. Exporters should not conflate EAEU RoHS compliance (needed for Russia/Kazakhstan) with Uzbekistan requirements, and should review the applicable O'zDST standard text for any material-specific restrictions. | Uzstandart — Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan2026-06-16 · reference |
| Regulatory Scope: Uzbekistan is an EAEU Observer — National O'zDST Regime Applies, NOT TR CU 019/2011 | China's respiratory PPE is governed by a three-track system: (1) Industrial/non-medical: GB 2626-2019 (KN90/KN95 particle respirators) — mandatory CCC certification under SAMR/CNCA; (2) Medical-protective: GB 19083-2010 — NMPA Class II medical device registration; (3) Surgical mask: YY 0469-2011 — NMPA Class II medical device. For export to Uzbekistan, the relevant China baseline is typically GB 2626-2019 (KN95) for industrial respiratory protection. China's LA (labour protection) product certification and CCC scheme cover the domestic side of occupational safety equipment, analogous to Uzbekistan's national mandatory certification for workplace PPE.GB 2626-2019 — Non-powered air-purifying particle respirator (KN90/KN95) — SAMR/CCC mandatory GB 19083-2010 — Technical requirements for medical protective mask — NMPA Class II YY 0469-2011 — Medical surgical mask — Technical requirements — NMPA Class II |
Uzbekistan is an observer state of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) but is NOT a member. This is commercially critical: TR CU 019/2011 (On the Safety of Personal Protective Equipment) — the EAEU technical regulation that governs PPE including respiratory protection across Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan — does NOT apply in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan operates its own national standards and certification regime administered by the Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers (Uzstandart), which publishes O'zDST national standards. Many O'zDST standards are adopted from or harmonised with GOST standards (the former Soviet-era standardisation system), including standards covering respiratory protection (e.g. the GOST 12.4.x Occupational Safety Standards System series). Mandatory conformity confirmation (certification or declaration) is required for products on the Unified List of regulated goods under Uzbekistan national law before goods can be placed on the market or used in workplaces.O'zDST national standards (Uzstandart) — GOST 12.4.x series adopted or harmonised (respiratory protection) Uzbekistan national law on technical regulation and conformity confirmation (mandatory certification/declaration for regulated goods) EAEU Observer status — TR CU 019/2011 and TR EAEU technical regulations do NOT apply |
CRITICAL: Uzbekistan is NOT in the EAEU — do NOT assume TR CU 019/2011 applies. The correct framework is the Uzbekistan national O'zDST/Uzstandart system. Exporters who obtain EAEU TR CU certification (for Russia/Kazakhstan) will find it is not recognised in Uzbekistan for market access. Separate national conformity confirmation under O'zDST rules is required. Chinese GB 2626 (KN95) certificates are not automatically accepted — testing against applicable O'zDST/GOST standards and national certification by a Uzstandart-accredited body is required.[INFORMATIONAL] Uzbekistan is an EAEU observer only — TR CU 019/2011 (PPE) and TR EAEU 037/2016 (RoHS-equivalent) do NOT apply. The applicable regime is the national O'zDST/Uzstandart system. Chinese KN95 (GB 2626) certificates are not automatically valid in Uzbekistan. Exporters must obtain national conformity confirmation against O'zDST/GOST standards from a Uzstandart-accredited certification body before market entry. | Uzstandart — Agency for Technical Regulation under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan2026-06-16 · reference |
