JPE Achieves TP TC 012 Explosion-Proof Certification — A Key Asset for Opening Eurasian Markets and Securing Project Delivery

JPE has officially obtained the TP TC 012 certification, signifying that JPE products now meet the mandatory CU-TR (EAC) regulations required for export to Customs Union countries, including Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. This certification provides projects with reliable compliance guarantees, simplifies customs clearance processes, and significantly lowers procurement risks.

1.What is TP TC 012 Certification?

TP TC 012 (also known as TR CU 012/2011) is the mandatory technical regulation within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)—which includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and others—for explosion-proof equipment. It aims to ensure that equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres can reliably prevent explosion or fire hazards. Obtaining this certification confirms that the products have passed designated testing and possess the necessary compliance documentation.



2.Scope of Certification

• Applicable Products: 
Covers electrical and non-electrical explosion-proof equipment and components used in explosive environments. This includes protection types such as Flameproof (d), Intrinsically Safe (i), and Increased Safety (e).

• Exclusions: 
The certification does not apply to: medical equipment; equipment where the explosion risk stems from the substance itself or unstable chemical reactions; domestic/non-industrial equipment (where hazards arise from fuel gas leaks); personal protective equipment (PPE); sea and inland vessels, mobile offshore platforms, and transport vehicles (aircraft, trains, trucks); and nuclear weapons or related research equipment.

3.Direct Value for Partners

• Legal Customs Clearance & Market Access:
When clients import or use JPE products in the EAEU market, this certification reduces the risk of customs detention or return shipments caused by missing compliance documents.

• Tendering & Acceptance Advantage:
For bid tenders or engineering acceptance procedures requiring compliance certificates, JPE’s certification serves as valid proof, increasing the pass rate for bids and final acceptance.

• Reduced Compliance & Legal Risk:
Official proof of compliance lowers the probability of fines or forced rectifications, alleviating the compliance liability for the purchaser.

• Accelerated Project Progress:
Eliminates project delays caused by requests for supplementary certification or ad-hoc testing, making delivery schedules more predictable.

• Confidence in Quality & Safety:
The certificate demonstrates that products have undergone rigorous testing and evaluation, reinforcing client confidence in product reliability and safety.

4.Compliance Checklist

• Target Market:
Is the product intended for import or use in any EAEU member state (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan)? If so, you must verify if it falls under EAEU technical regulations.

• Regulatory Coverage:
Consult the official TP TC 012 text to confirm if your product category is listed.

• Product Status:
Determine if the item is a complete unit, a component, or a system, as this affects how it is evaluated.

• Liability:
Clarify whether the manufacturer, importer, or authorized EAEU representative bears the compliance responsibility based on the trade model.

JPE’s acquisition of the TP TC 012 certification brings substantial convenience to clients regarding EAEU procurement, customs clearance, bidding, and maintenance, significantly reducing compliance risks and improving project predictability.
