TR CU 007/2011: products for children and teenagers
Children’s clothing, footwear and goods for the EAEU. Three approval forms, an age threshold that moves the answer, and the site audit every certificate needs.
TR CU 007/2011 governs products for anyone under 18 in the Union: clothing, footwear, prams, school goods, toothbrushes, hygiene articles and more. Compliance takes one of three forms, state registration followed by a declaration, a declaration alone, or certification, and which applies depends on the product, its clothing layer and the child’s age. The thresholds are hard: newborns to 28 days, under three, under 14, then 14 to 18. A single product type can take three routes across those ages, so a size run from newborn to teen is one product line commercially and several regulatory ones.
A certificate under 007 always requires a site audit. The Foshan visit under this tag ran in two stages, quality documentation first and then every workshop, and the remote version runs as a recorded video conference kept in the body’s archive as evidence. Testing is where children’s wear fails: synthetic fibre content that is normal elsewhere fails hygroscopicity testing under GOST, and no certificate is issued. The case of dresses for six-year-olds signed into a supply contract before certification is the order of events we tell clients to reverse.
Toys are excluded here and take TR CU 008/2011, children’s furniture takes TR CU 025, and cosmetics for children take TR CU 009 with state registration. The label carries mandatory fields under 007 as it does under 017, plus the extras for clothing, footwear, fur and leather. The articles below cover the three forms, the two audits, textiles labelling and the case study. Send the product, the declared age range and the fabric composition and we will name the form.

Frequently asked questions
Who sets the age range, and can the certification body reject it?
The manufacturer sets it, and yes, it can be challenged. The body reads packaging, manual and marketing together and applies the strictest age the material implies. A product released for three and up whose packaging shows a toddler is tested as an under-three product, with the state registration that follows.
Does a TR CU 007 certificate cover toys?
No. TR CU 007 excludes toys and printed board games; those take TR CU 008/2011. A children’s clothing range sold with a plush toy needs two separate documents, and a G-Mark from the Gulf replaces neither.
