EEC protects single market from products non-compliant with Union's requirements
The draft Procedure for interaction between state control (supervision) bodies as well as state control (supervision) bodies and accreditation bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union was considered at a meeting held at the venue of the Eurasian Economic Commission under the chairmanship of Tatiana Nikolaeva, Deputy Director of the EEC Technical Regulation and Accreditation Department.
The document was prepared to implement paragraph 4.7.1 of the Strategy-2025.
During the discussion, the EAEU Member States' experts considered problematic issues related to the protection of the Union's single market from products that do not meet the requirements of the Union's legislation. These include the sequence of actions of a supervisory authority when such products are detected in its territory for prompt information sharing with other control bodies of the Member States, as well as the required composition of information to be transmitted within the reporting system.
Some approaches implemented by control bodies to taking measures in respect of the named products, as well as approaches to termination or suspension of conformity assessment documents by supervisory authorities or other authorized bodies in accordance with the national legislation were considered.
The legal status of conformity assessment documents in the Union's unified register of conformity assessment documents in the event of termination or suspension of their validity in the territory of one of the Member States was discussed.
“The adoption of the Interaction Procedure will enable the state control bodies of the Union countries to promptly exchange information on non-compliant products within the information system for taking response measures,” Tatiana Nikolaeva noted.
Prompt interaction of state control (supervision) bodies, including with accreditation bodies, will help protect the single market from non-compliant products and unreasonably issued conformity assessment documents.
The draft Procedure will be submitted to the Eurasian Economic Commission's Council for consideration by the end of this year.
