MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FAC DoC AND FAC CoC:

Obtaining the Telecom Declaration of conformity differs from Telecom Certification process.

1. The FAC DoC can be issued for more than 3 years comparing with CoC. You can choose the validity that is relevant to the usual product life of the model you apply for approval.

2. The FAC DoC can be issued only for one model. So each additional model requires a separate process of declaring. At the same time, the CoC can consist of several model names.

3. It takes over a month to register the DoC and 3-4 months to issue the CoC. Both procedure assuming the functionality tests of the product. Moreover, in some cases on-line tests at the provider’s site are applicable. Everything depends on the product.

4. The last difference between the Declaration and Certification process refers to the holder of the approval document. In case of DoC the holder is the local company in Russia. So, the foreign manufacturer should have a partner in Russia that will apply for this document to FAC on the base of representative agreement with the manufacturer. The CoC can be issued directly on behalf of foreign manufacturer but anyway it is hard to imagine the successful process without local certification agent such as WorldWideBridge LLC.

PUBLIC REGISTER

Finally, all declarations and Certificates are to be registered in the FAC register. This register has no common with EAC register which is to be used by customs clearance officers. So, you can not provide FAC DoC or CoC instead of EAC DoC or CoC. Actually, FAC approval documents are not requested while the customs clearance procedure.

COUNTRIES OF ACCEPTANCE

It is important to note that FAC Certificates and Declaration would never be accepted in Kazakstan, Belarus of other Customs union(CU) countries that have their own system of Telecom approval which means that EAC mark is not applicable for such FAC equipment unless it was certified in accordance with Technical Regulation of the Customs union.
