EAC Approval for Power Adapters and Chargers
One certificate covers TR CU 004 and 020; RoHS goes on a separate declaration. The four steps, the annual inspection, and why RoHS testing takes a month.

TR EAEU 037/2016: EAEU RoHS
Six restricted substances, thirteen device categories, a declaration and no certificate. Which reports support scheme 1d, and when local testing is unavoidable.
TR EAEU 037/2016 is the Union’s close analogue of the European RoHS Directive. It has applied since 1 March 2020, limits the same six substances, and reaches thirteen device categories, several of which are not what people picture as electronics: vending machines, cash registers and sports equipment sit alongside lighting, IT and appliances. Conformity is confirmed by declaration, valid across all five member states, and it goes on a separate document from the TR CU 004 and 020 certificate even when the same product carries all three.
The route turns on which test reports you already hold. Scheme 1d rests on the manufacturer’s evidence and can close in a week when the reports fit the current product and the Union’s standards. Scheme 3d means local testing inside the Union and takes longer; RoHS testing on adapters ran to a month in the case under this tag. Where a brand has EU RoHS reports from an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory, 1d is the route we argue for, and the question the body asks is whether the report covers the product as sold. Where the lab sits comes second.
A fourth electrical regulation, TR EAEU 048/2019 on energy efficiency, now sits beside 004, 020 and 037, with most appliances declaring and lamps, computers and servers certifying. The articles below cover the scope, the schemes and lead times, adapters, lighting, HVAC and personal computers. Tell us the product category and what RoHS evidence you hold, and we will say which scheme it supports.
No articles match that.

EAC Approval for HVAC Systems: Household vs Industrial
Household HVAC needs certificates under TR CU 004 and 020 plus a RoHS declaration. Industrial HVAC needs none of that, it declares under 004, 020 and 010.
EAC Certification of Lighting Fixtures and Equipment
Three technical regulations apply to lighting, certification runs on schemes 1c, 3c or 4c, and the test standards differ by fixture type.
EAEU RoHS: TR CU 037 Schemes and Lead Times
Six restricted substances, a declaration rather than a certificate, and three routes under scheme 1d that turn on which test reports you already hold.
TR EAEU 037/2016: Which Products RoHS Reaches
Thirteen device categories fall under the EAEU restricted substances regulation, from lighting and IT to vending machines, cash registers and sports equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Is EAEU RoHS a certificate or a declaration?
A declaration, registered by the applicant in the Union register and valid in all five states. It is separate from the TR CU 004 and TR CU 020 document. Under scheme 1d it can rest on existing manufacturer test reports; under 3d the samples go to a Union laboratory.
Will our EU RoHS test reports be accepted?
Often, under scheme 1d. The reports must cover the product as currently built and the six substances at the Union’s limits, which match the EU limits. What is not accepted is a supplier declaration with no laboratory report behind it.
