An EAC declaration is issued by a national manufacturer, importer or an authorized representative of a foreign manufacturer. Therefore, the responsibility for the correct classification of the products, the selection of the scheme as well as the execution of the documentation lies with the applicant itself.

The selection of the scheme and therefore the type of the EAC certification procedure depends on the characteristics of the products, the type of production and shipment. The scheme of the EAC declaration is selected by the applicant himself. The schemes of the conformity assessment represent the counterpart of the modules of the conformity assessment according to the EU guidline 768/2008/EG in the Eurasian Economic Union.
