Full title and description

TR TS 020/2011 — Technical Regulation of the Customs Union "Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment". Establishes mandatory requirements for electromagnetic emission and immunity of technical equipment placed on the single customs territory of the Customs Union / Eurasian Economic Union, with procedures for conformity assessment, marking and market circulation.

Abstract

TR TS 020/2011 sets uniform EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) requirements for electrical and electronic products circulated within the Customs Union / EAEU. It defines the scope of application, normative requirements for design and manufacture to limit harmful electromagnetic emissions and ensure adequate immunity, labelling and accompanying documentation obligations, and the conformity assessment routes (declaration or certification) leading to the common market EAC marking. The regulation includes nine articles and three annexes in its official text.

General information

• Status: In force (active regulation within the Customs Union / EAEU; subject to periodic amendments and updates to its normative reference lists).
• Publication date: Adopted 9 December 2011; entered into force 15 February 2013.
• Publisher: Commission of the Customs Union / legal acts administered by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
• ICS / categories: 33.100 — Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
• Edition / version: TR TS 020/2011 (original decision No. 879 of 9 December 2011); consolidated texts and lists of normative references are amended from time to time.
• Number of pages: Official publication varies by formatting; the formal text comprises nine articles and three annexes (typical consolidated PDFs are roughly on the order of tens of pages depending on publisher).

Scope

The regulation applies to technical equipment put into circulation in the single customs territory that can generate electromagnetic interference and/or the correct functioning of which depends on external electromagnetic interference. It covers categories such as household electrical appliances, personal computers and peripherals, electric hand tools, electro-musical instruments and similar technical means. Exclusions include components not intended for autonomous use and passive devices with respect to EMC; separate, more specific technical regulations may override TR TS 020/2011 for particular product groups.

Key topics and requirements

• Fundamental EMC requirements — limits on emissions and required immunity levels so equipment does not disturb other devices and can tolerate the intended electromagnetic environment.
• Design and manufacture obligations to meet emission and immunity criteria during intended use, installation, storage and transport.
• Conformity assessment procedures — declaration of conformity or certification (including technical documentation and test reports) leading to EAC marking for products that meet requirements.
• Labelling and documentation — product marking, manufacturer/importer identification and required exploitation (user) documents and technical information.
• Reference normative base — the regulation relies on interstate and international standards (for example, IEC/EN 61000 series and corresponding GOST/CISPR adoptions) listed and periodically updated by the EEC.
• Validity and market surveillance — certificates for series production are typically valid up to five years; non‑conforming products cannot be released into circulation or bear the EAC mark.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers, assemblers, importers and authorised representatives placing electrical/electronic products on the EAEU market; testing laboratories performing EMC tests; certification bodies and conformity assessment organisations; national regulators and market surveillance authorities; design and compliance engineers who must ensure product compliance with emission and immunity requirements.

Related standards

TR TS 020/2011 is implemented in conjunction with international and regional EMC standards (for example the IEC/EN 61000 series and product-specific CISPR/GOST adoptions). It is also commonly applied alongside other EAEU technical regulations such as TR TS 004/2011 (low-voltage safety) and TR EAEU 037/2016 (restriction of certain hazardous substances in electrical/electronic equipment), with EEC-updated lists of referenced standards published periodically.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: TR TS 020/2011 is a technical regulation of the Customs Union / Eurasian Economic Union that establishes mandatory electromagnetic compatibility requirements for technical equipment placed on the common market.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers emission limits and immunity requirements, design and labelling obligations, and procedures for conformity assessment (declaration or certification) that permit EAC marking; it applies to devices that generate or are affected by electromagnetic interference, with specified exclusions for non‑autonomous components and passive devices.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, importers, authorised representatives, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies and regulators involved in placing electrical and electronic products on the EAEU market.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The regulation (adopted 9 December 2011, in force from 15 February 2013) remains a core EAEU technical regulation; its lists of referenced standards and normative base are periodically amended by the EEC (updates were still published in 2024), so users should consult the latest consolidated references when performing conformity assessment.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — TR TS 020/2011 sits among the set of Customs Union / EAEU technical regulations addressing product safety and market access (for example TR TS 004/2011 on low-voltage safety, TR TS 010/2011 on machinery safety, and others); it also relies on and references international EMC standards such as the IEC/EN 61000 series and corresponding interstate (GOST/CISPR) standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Electromagnetic compatibility, EMC, emission, immunity, EAC, conformity assessment, TR TS 020/2011, TR CU 020/2011, EAEU, GOST, IEC, CISPR.
