 Recommendation

  1. Apply EAC declaration procedure instead of certification one if it’s possible, the best way to register DoC on-line in accordance with 1d scheme because in this case it’s outside of federal accreditation agency control.
  2. Apply EAC application for EAC CoC as sooner as better to register it in federal register even it’s in draft.
  3. Get authorization for your company as a subcontractor of an accredited EAC organization to provide legally some EAC procedure as outsourced orders.
  4. If you are going to send a sample to test don’t do it directly into EAC lab or certification body because it’s impossible to clear customs for samples in most cases. Let importer of manufacturer to deliver the sample into EAC lab or certification body. The sample for testing should be accompanied by supporting documents from customs.

Precise compliance to EAC certification schemes concerning sampling and testing by EAC test labs.
