How is product safety assessed under TR 017 ?

The main purpose of the introduction of the regulation is to ensure the safety of light industry products sold on the territory of the Customs Union countries. Therefore, the document clearly specifies the security requirements:

  1. Compliance with safety requirements for 3 main indicators: mechanical, chemical and biological. The products must be resistant to tearing, to the strength of fastening, to flexibility and impact; not exceed the permissible release of harmful substances into the air and (or) water environment and meet the specified parameters for air tightness, water resistance, color stability, etc.
  2. Compliance with the toxicity index. For the materials of products that come into contact with human skin, as well as clothing of the first and second layers, home shoes, summer and beach clothes, as well as various inner layers, the toxicity index is clearly prescribed. The index determined in the aquatic environment should be from 70% to 120% inclusive, in the air environment - from 80% to 120% inclusive, or there should be no local skin irritant effect.
  3. The prescribed intensity of the smell. The intensity of the smell of light industry products and materials used for its production should not exceed 2 points in natural conditions.

Conformity is confirmed by means of product tests conducted in accredited laboratories, as well as production analysis (with certification according to the 1C scheme).


It's important to know! The regulations describe in more detail the safety requirements depending on the type of product. You can familiarize yourself with them yourself or find out by phone from certification specialists.

Certification schemes for light industry products (according to TR CU 017/2011)

Light industry products are certified according to three schemes.

For the 1C series

The certificate is issued for a period of up to 3 years. In addition to product testing, production analysis is also carried out. Inspection control takes place at both stages.

For the 2C series

The scheme is almost similar to the previous one, except that instead of an audit of production, certification of the management system is carried out.

For a batch of 3С

The certificate is issued for up to 5 years. Only product testing is required. Production audit and inspection control are not carried out.
