Overview
What is TR CU 012/2011 – Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres
TR CU 012/2011 is the Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) that establishes mandatory safety requirements for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres. The regulation aims to minimize the risk of ignition and ensure the safe operation of electrical and non-electrical equipment in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, mists, or combustible dust may be present.
The regulation applies to a wide range of equipment used in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. Manufacturers and exporters must demonstrate compliance through the applicable conformity assessment procedures to obtain EAC certification before placing products on the EAEU market.
