• EAC CoC

  TRCU EAC certification type

  TRCU certificates are classified into two categories: Certification of Conformity (CoC) and Declaration of Conformity (DoC) according to the details.

  ✤ TRCU CoC

  This includes pressure vessels, hand tools, cranes, elevators, some machinery, test equipment, electrical and electronic products, etc., and a sample test or factory inspection is required.

  EAC DoC

  ✤ TRCU DoC

  This is a general product with relatively low risk, and some products can be issued certificate by only document review. In the case of CoC, product tests are conducted through designated testing laboratories in principle, but a number of certification agencies are issuing certificates after acknowledging CB safety reports without additional tests.

• 

  TRCU EAC certification validity period

  One-Shipment (Single Delivery Certification): This is mainly in cases where products are exported on a one-off basis, such as plants, and in cases where resale to third parties or other general consumers is not possible, and is valid until the contract fulfillment period indicated in the contract with the importer.
  
  Serial Production Certification: This is advantageous in cases where continued export is expected, and one certification can result in a certificate valid for up to 5 years.
