The amendments envisage developing five interstate standards, including two standards for detecting formaldehyde in perfumery and cosmetic products based on the standards of the People's Republic of China; two standards for test methods for sunscreens based on ISO international standards; and one standard for Halal perfumery and cosmetic products based on the standard of the Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC). It is also planned to make amendments to nine interstate standards.

27 Jun 2025 Valentin Tataritsky: "Food safety in the EAEU is a guarantee of public welfare" Valentin Tataritsky, Minister in charge Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, chaired a panel session "Safety of EAEU Food Products as a Guarantee of Public Welfare: Comprehensive Regulation, Approaches and Priorities" as part of the EEF 2025 in Minsk. Food safety is a multifaceted problem affecting human health, various economic, social, scientific and technical aspects. Harmonized SPS measures and technical regulation play a key role in ensuring safety of such products. "Food safety is not only the protection of consumer health, but also a key element of access of food products to domestic and foreign markets, increasing the competitiveness of producers and building confidence in the system of SPS measures and technical regulation," emphasized Valentin Tataritsky. "Ensuring it requires a systematic and interdisciplinary approach based on scientific data and modern digital tools. All activities of the Commission and authorized authorities of the EAEU countries are aimed at creating conditions for ensuring safety of food products and increasing their competitiveness in the internal market of the Union and in foreign markets. The session invited great interest among representatives of authorized authorities in the field of sanitary, veterinary, phytosanitary quarantine measures and technical regulation, leading research institutes of the EAEU countries, international organizations, food producers and authorized representatives of industry unions and associations. The event participants discussed the creation of legal instruments in the field of sanitary, veterinary and phytosanitary measures and technical regulation; implementation of the One Health concept aimed at eliminating threats to human, animal and plant health; cooperation between the EAEU countries and international organizations in building a unified system for ensuring food safety; as well as the use of information systems in the application of SPS measures. Based on the results of the panel session, the participants emphasized the need to continue the dialogue beyond the Forum, the exchange of experience and further practical joint work of the Commission and authorized authorities of the Union countries on ensuring food safety conditions, including the improvement of Union acts. The session was attended by representatives of the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) Regional Office for Europe, the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office.  

27 Jun 2025 Valentin Tataritsky participated in meeting of EAEU Business Council Presidium Following the business program of the 4th Eurasian Economic Forum in Minsk, Valentin Tataritsky, Minister in charge of Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, took part in a meeting of the Presidium of the Business Council of the Eurasian Economic Union. Making a presentation on improving the establishment of mandatory requirements in the Union's technical regulations, the EEC Minister emphasized, "We continue to deepen integration, gradually expanding the Union law and incorporating more competencies in the field of standardization, ensuring uniformity of measurements, accreditation, supervisory practices. This is meticulous work, in which we face various challenges, adamant and opposing positions and legal subtleties on a daily basis." Valentin Tataritsky highlighted the innovations in the Eurasian regulations aimed at improving the mechanism for developing and updating technical safety requirements for products. Expansion of possibilities for the business community to participate in this work and significant simplification of interaction between all stakeholders in the development of EAEU technical regulations and lists of standards to them will be ensured, among other things, thanks to the launch of a digital platform in the field of technical regulation. The implementation of the project "Digital Technical Regulation" within the Union is at its most active stage. Special emphasis was placed on the existing problem areas and the most conflicting tracks in the development of draft EAEU technical regulations and their adjustment. In addition, Valentin Tataritsky drew attention to certain measures to protect the market from the circulation of unsafe products and the differences in the practices of control and supervision over implementing the EAEU technical regulations in the Union countries. "Today supervision really reveals a lot of problems with the admission and circulation of regulated products, including in terms of the integrity of conformity assessment bodies, the circulation of gray documents on conformity assessment and so on," said Valentin Tataritsky. "The Union is finalizing the work on two procedures, which, we hope, will systematize the approaches of the countries, including in dealing with gray documents. I am referring to the Procedure for consideration of appeals from one country of the Union on the validity of measures of state supervision of another country and the Procedure for interaction of state supervision authorities among themselves, as well as with accreditation authorities."  

26 Jun 2025 Valentin Tataritsky: "The Commission is ready to comprehensively develop the technical regulation system for the benefit of the EAEU countries" On June 26 in Minsk as part of the business program of the 4th Eurasian Economic Forum, Valentin Tataritsky, Minister in charge of Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, held a panel session "Eurasian Integration in the Field of Technical Regulation: from Strategy 2025 to Declaration 2030". The results and prospects of the Strategy 2025 implementation in the field of technical regulation became the main topic of the event. A number of Union decisions were discussed, both already adopted and those in progress, ensuring systematic integration in this area, including in the context of shaping the action plan for the Declaration 2030. "The series of our discussions, among other things, covers the issues of digitalization, e-commerce, combating "gray" authorizations and increasing trade and economic expansion of external markets," the EEC Minister stated. The discussion agenda touched upon increasing the role of standardization for the purposes of technical regulation within the Eurasian Economic Union and the development of a mechanism for assessing the scientific and technical level of safety requirements for products, taking into account innovations in the legal framework of the EAEU. These include the Procedure for Coordination of Work in the Field of Standardization, the Procedure for Conducting Mandatory Periodic Assessment of the Scientific and Technical Level of the EAEU Technical Regulations and Lists of Standards to Them and the corresponding plan for such STL assessments until 2030. The session participants discussed systemic problems in protecting the EAEU market from unsafe products. Their settlement, according to the meeting participants, can be achieved, among other things, through harmonizing national accreditation procedures of conformity assessment bodies. The procedure for mutual comparative assessments by accreditation bodies will ensure that relevant differences in conducting such procedures are identified for their subsequent elimination. Additional discarding of "gray business" issuing authorizations in the field of technical regulation will be ensured by a relevant register of test protocols. The procedure for its establishment and maintenance is already in development. The EEC Minister also expressed particular concern about varying supervisory practices in the Union countries in terms of controlling compliance with the EAEU technical regulations. In particular, in order to develop a mechanism for quick and synchronized response of countries to non-compliant products, the work on a unified Procedure for interaction of state supervision bodies with customs authorities and accreditation bodies, as well as on the Procedure for consideration and settlement of disputes arising between the Member States on the results of state supervision has been significantly intensified at the Union. Prospects for improvement of control and supervisory activities by the EAEU countries are also seen through the integration of resources relevant to technical regulators (in particular, the register of conformity assessment documents) with the resources of digital labelling, which is used for the purposes of traceability of goods and anti-counterfeiting. The acceptability of the approach to such integration is being actively debated. The session paid special attention to the implementation of the project "Digital Technical Regulation within the Eurasian Economic Union". When considering the topic of electronic commerce, the event participants emphasized the inadmissibility of unsafe products entering the EAEU market through e-platforms. The discussion platform brought together representatives of government agencies, business community, and international organizations. The speakers were the heads of the State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Institute of Standardization, the Kyrgyz accreditation authority, the Union of Non-Profit Organizations "Confederation of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (Employers)" of the Republic of Belarus, the Technical Regulation Committee of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, and others.
