customs legislation of the Russian Federation

Hi Paz,
Usually BT devices do not require a FSS notification.

Hi Lasse,
No, it can’t be used for EAC approval.

Hi Lasse,
Bluetooth LE products usually require a EAC declaration TR CU EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) only. FCC approval can’t be used for EAC approval since Russia do not have a two-way agreement with USA. But, in any case, the FCC test report could be useful as a detailed tech description of the product.

Hi Lasse,
EAC mark must not be shown on the device’s display only. In this case the EAC mark is not accessible for inspection while the display is turned off or broken, which is not allowed by TR CU. In the same time, according to the TR CU 004/2011 “Low Voltage Equipment” and TR CU 020/2011 “Electromagnetic Compatibility” «4. Affixing of a single mark of market access of the Member States of the Customs Union only on packaging and its indication in the attached operational documents is allowed in case a single mark of market access can’t be affixed directly on a technical device due to its specific construction.» I hope this helps you.
