Full title and description

TR TS 010/2011 — Technical Regulation of the Customs Union "On safety of machinery and equipment". This legal/regulatory text establishes mandatory safety requirements for the design, manufacture, assembly, installation, operation, storage, transport, sale and disposal of machinery and equipment placed on the market within the Customs Union / Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states.

Abstract

TR TS 010/2011 (also referenced as TR CU 010/2011 or TR EAEU 010/2011) sets minimum safety requirements to protect human life and health, property and the environment from risks arising from machinery and equipment. It defines categories of covered products, obligations for manufacturers/importers (technical documentation, instructions, marking), and the procedures for mandatory conformity assessment (EAC conformity certification or declaration) required for market circulation within the EAEU.

General information

• Status: In force (technical regulation adopted by the Customs Union / EAEU; subject to amendments and implementation programs).
• Publication date: Adopted by decision of the Customs Union Commission on 18 October 2011; entry into force 15 February 2013.
• Publisher: Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) / legal act of the Customs Union / Eurasian Economic Union.
• ICS / categories: Safety of machinery and equipment — ICS 13.110 (safety of machinery) and related mechanical engineering classifications.
• Edition / version: Original Technical Regulation (2011) with subsequent amendments and implementation programs; consolidated texts and national transpositions exist — check latest EAEU/EEC publications for the current consolidated wording.
• Number of pages: Varies by published consolidated edition and translation; the formal legal text and accompanying annexes typically span several dozen pages (commonly in the range of ~40–80 pages depending on included annexes and national consolidations).

Scope

Applies to machines and (or) equipment put into circulation within the customs territory of the Customs Union / EAEU. The regulation sets mandatory minimum safety requirements that cover design, manufacture, assembly, adjustment, operation, storage, transportation, marketing and disposal to prevent risks to life, health, property and the environment. Certain items and specialised categories are excluded or regulated under other technical regulations (for example, where separate sectoral regulations apply); see the official text and annexes for detailed lists of covered and exempt items.

Key topics and requirements

• Mandatory risk assessment and application of protective measures in design and manufacture.
• Requirements for guards, protective devices and safe means of access to hazardous zones.
• Controls and safety functions (including emergency stop and safe control design as applicable to the machine type).
• Electrical safety aspects where machines include electrical equipment (coordination with low-voltage and EMC regulations when relevant).
• Information and documentation: technical file, operational instructions, marking and labeling (EAC marking when conformity is demonstrated).
• Procedure for conformity assessment (EAC certification or declaration) and obligations of manufacturers, authorized representatives and importers for the EAEU market.
• Transitional provisions and references to harmonized national/interstate standards (GOST, ISO/EN/IEC where adopted) for detailed normative requirements.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers, exporters and importers of machinery and equipment intended for sale or use within the EAEU; conformity assessment bodies and notified testing laboratories; design and safety engineers; procurement and compliance departments of companies placing machines on the EAEU market; regulators and certification authorities in member states. Service organizations and installers working with covered equipment also use the regulation to ensure safe installation and operation.

Related standards

TR TS 010/2011 references and is implemented together with national/interstate standards (GOSTs) and internationally recognized standards (ISO, IEC, EN) that provide detailed technical requirements (for example standards on guarding, electrical equipment of machines, emergency stop functions, risk assessment procedures). The EAEU and member states maintain programs to develop and align standards supporting the technical regulation.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: TR TS 010/2011 is a binding technical regulation (legal act) of the Customs Union / EAEU titled "On safety of machinery and equipment" that sets mandatory safety requirements for machines and equipment marketed within the EAEU.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers minimum safety requirements for the life-cycle of machinery and equipment — design, manufacture, assembly, installation, operation, storage, transport, sale and disposal — to protect people, property and the environment; it also defines conformity assessment obligations (EAC certification/declaration) and documentation/marking requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, importers, exporters, conformity-assessment bodies, test laboratories, safety engineers, procurement/compliance teams, and regulators operating in or trading with EAEU member states. These stakeholders use the regulation to design, verify and demonstrate compliance before placing machines on the EAEU market.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2011 technical regulation entered into force on 15 February 2013 and remains a core EAEU requirement, but it has been subject to subsequent amendments, implementation programs and the progressive development of supporting standards; users must consult the latest consolidated EAEU/EEC publications and implementing decisions for current requirements and any recent changes.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — TR TS 010/2011 is one of a suite of Customs Union / EAEU technical regulations (for example TR CU 004/2011 on low-voltage equipment, TR CU 020/2011 on EMC, TR CU 012/2011 for explosive atmospheres, etc.) that together cover different product groups and overlap where applicable; machines with electrical parts may need to comply with multiple regulations.

Q: What are the key keywords?
