Conformity assessment procedures

BY TR CoC

For mass-produced radio and telecom products imported to the territory of Belarus, which are included in the Annex 1 (products subject to BY TR CoC), the conformity assessment scheme 1c is applicable. According to this conformity assessment scheme 1c, the certification procedure includes the following steps:

1. Product identification and sampling for local testing

2. Conducting local tests in an accredited laboratory in Belarus

3. Conducting factory Inspection by an accredited certification body in Belarus

4. Conduct surveillance by an accredited certification body after the BY TR CoC is issued*

* NOTE:

In accordance with item 126 of the "Rules for confirming compliance with the National System for Conformity Assessment of the Republic of Belarus" approved by The State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus (GOSSTANDART) on July 25, 2017 No. 61:

Surveillance is carried out twice during the validity period of the issued certificate of conformity:

- the first - no earlier than 18 months from the date of registration of the certificate of conformity by conducting factory inspection;

- the second - no earlier than 18 months after the first surveillance has done, by conducting product tests, and (or) additional factory inspection

BY TR DoC

Application of national conformity mark “TP BY”

Starting from January 1, 2019, the conformity mark TP BY is becoming mandatory to use when a product proves compliance with the requirements of Technical Regulations TR 2018/024/BY.

The national conformity mark TP BY is formed of letters “T” and “P” symbolizing first letters of Belarusian phrase translated as "Technical Regulation". They are placed in a round-cornered frame that is broken by letters "BY" that symbolize "Belarus".

The graphic symbol of the national conformity mark TP BY is shown in figure 1:

Figure 1 - Graphic symbol of the national conformity mark TP BY

In this Figure, "a" is a minimum measurement unit of the reference grid.

Minimum size "H" shall be at least 5 mm.

The conformity mark placed on equipment must be visible, legible, and indelible.

The mark of conformity is applied directly to products near the information about the manufacturer, as a rule, on its fixed parts, and is also indicated in the operational documents attached to the product.

It is allowed to affix the conformity mark on the smallest consumer packaging and indicate in the operational documents attached to the product if it is impossible to apply it directly to the product (if the size of the product or its type does not allow the conformity mark to be applied). In the absence of packaging for such products, a mark of conformity is applied in the operational documents attached to the product.

Product labeling and accompanying documents

The labelling and accompanying documents for a radio and telecom products shall include information necessary to identify the product and use it as intended.
