Full title and description

Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) "On requirements for fire safety and fire‑fighting means" — TR EAEU 043/2017. The regulation establishes mandatory safety, marking and conformity assessment requirements for fire‑safety equipment, extinguishing agents and related products placed on the market of EAEU member states to protect life, health, property and the environment and to ensure free movement of compliant goods within the Union.

Abstract

TR EAEU 043/2017 defines technical and administrative requirements for a broad range of fire‑safety and fire‑extinguishing means (extinguishing agents, portable and fixed extinguishers, fixed fire‑suppression systems, fire‑protective materials, components and accessories), specifies product marking and documentation obligations, and sets conformity assessment schemes (declaration or certification) required for placing such products on the EAEU market. It was adopted by the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission to harmonize member states' rules and raise fire‑safety levels across the Union.

Scope

Applies to means for ensuring fire safety and fire suppression which are intended to prevent fires, limit development and spread of dangerous fire factors, extinguish fires, rescue and protect people, property and the environment, and reduce harm or damage caused by fire. The regulation lists specific product groups and the conformity assessment schemes that apply to each group in its annexes; if other EAEU technical regulations also apply to a product, all relevant regulations must be met.

Key topics and requirements

• Mandatory safety and performance requirements for extinguishing agents (powders, foams, gas agents, water‑based media) and for fire‑suppression systems.
• Design, construction and strength requirements for portable and mobile fire extinguishers and components to ensure safe use.
• Requirements for fire‑protective materials and coatings (e.g., wood protection, intumescent materials) including test methods and aging considerations.
• Marking and labeling obligations to allow free movement within the EAEU (EAC conformity marking where applicable) and required documentation accompanying products.
• Conformity assessment schemes (declaration or certification) assigned by product group, with specified test and certification procedures and allowed transitional arrangements.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers, importers and distributors of fire‑safety equipment, testing laboratories and certification bodies, regulatory authorities and fire‑safety engineers/designers. The regulation is applied when designing, manufacturing, importing, certifying, labeling and placing fire‑safety and fire‑suppression products on the market in EAEU member states.

Related standards

Part of the body of EAEU technical regulations (other recent TRs include TR EAEU 041/2017 and TR EAEU 044/2017 among others). It is aligned with international fire‑protection classification and equipment standards within ICS 13.220 and with product‑specific international standards used as normative references or test methods in the annexes. National implementing documents, test protocols and regionally adopted GOST/ISO standards are commonly referenced for conformity assessment.
