Technical Regulations of Ukraine

The old UkrSEPRO certificate is history. Since the mandatory certification list was abolished at the start of 2018, products placed on the Ukrainian market are assessed under national technical regulations – a system built on the EU New Approach directives. For most industrial products the key document today is a Declaration of Conformity issued in Ukrainian, and the product carries the national mark of conformity to technical regulations.

The legal basis is the Law of Ukraine No. 124-VIII "On Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment" (in force since 10 February 2016). Each technical regulation is adopted by a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and mirrors a specific EU directive or regulation. European harmonised standards are adopted in Ukraine as identical national standards (DSTU EN).

Customs and market surveillance authorities check conformity documents, and Ukrainian counterparties usually will not buy products without them. Products that fall outside the technical regulations can be confirmed through voluntary certification, where the manufacturer chooses the standards to apply.

How it works

The Ukrainian system follows the same logic as the CE marking procedure:

• The product is checked against the relevant technical regulations (for example low voltage, EMC, RoHS, machinery).
• A conformity assessment procedure (module A, B+C, D, H etc.) is applied, as in the EU.
• For low-risk products the manufacturer can declare conformity on the basis of its own technical file and test reports.
• For higher-risk products a designated conformity assessment body (the Ukrainian equivalent of an EU Notified Body) must take part. Its identification number then appears next to the mark.
• The manufacturer or its authorised representative in Ukraine signs the Declaration of Conformity in Ukrainian.
• Labelling and instructions for use must be in Ukrainian.

In many cases the results of EU conformity assessment (test reports, Notified Body certificates) can be used or recognised, so a well-prepared CE technical file is the best starting point.

Main technical regulations of Ukraine

Other technical regulations cover toys, personal protective equipment, pressure equipment, gas appliances, lifts, equipment for explosive atmospheres, ecodesign and energy labelling, among others.

Documents needed

• EU Declaration of Conformity (CE) and technical file;
• Test reports according to harmonised EN/IEC standards;
• EU Notified Body certificates (if applicable);
• ISO 9001 certificate (if you have);
• Technical description of the product, catalogue or manual;
• Labelling and instructions (to be translated into Ukrainian);
• HS Code;
• Power of attorney for the authorised representative in Ukraine;
• Samples of products (not needed in all cases).

Martial law and recent changes

Under martial law Ukraine introduced temporary simplifications for some product groups, such as energy equipment and construction products from the EU. These exceptions are narrow and temporary, so each case should be checked.

Ukraine is moving towards an ACAA agreement with the EU ("industrial visa-free regime"). In April 2026 the Verkhovna Rada adopted Law No. 12221, which aligns accreditation and technical regulation with EU rules and introduces mutual recognition of accreditation. Most of its provisions will apply once the ACAA agreement enters into force. Until then, the national declaration and mark remain mandatory.
