Applies to any equipment that can generate electromagnetic disturbances or whose performance can be affected by such disturbances. The declaration of conformity is issued by the manufacturer independently — no notified body required.
The regulation covers any apparatus or fixed installation that can:
Apparatus means any finished appliance or combination of appliances made available on the market as a single functional unit. Components intended for end-user installation and mobile installations are also covered.
The EMC regulation has an exceptionally broad scope — practically any electronic equipment is covered.
Washing machines, refrigerators, TVs, audio systems, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, electric cookers
PCs, laptops, printers, network equipment, UPS units, power supplies, chargers
Variable frequency drives, PLCs, welding equipment, electric motors, automation systems
LED drivers, electronic ballasts, control gear for lamps
Solar inverters, EV charging stations, power converters
Oscilloscopes, multimeters, ECG machines, ultrasound devices, laboratory instruments
Certain product categories are regulated by other regulations and excluded from the EMC regulation:
Key distinction: if a device has a radio interface (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM, etc.) it falls under the Radio Equipment Regulation (CMU №355), not the EMC regulation. If a device is electrical but has no radio — the EMC regulation applies.
The manufacturer may choose one of two procedures:
The primary route. The manufacturer compiles technical documentation, performs an EMC assessment and issues a declaration of conformity. No notified body involvement is required.
No body requiredOptional route. A notified body conducts a type examination. Used at the manufacturer's discretion or for complex products.
Notified bodyTechnical Documentation
Compile a technical file: product description, schematics, component specifications, list of applicable EMC standards.
EMC Assessment
Perform testing or technical analysis in accordance with harmonised standards such as EN 55032, EN 61000-4-x and other applicable standards.
Declaration of Conformity
Issue the declaration of conformity using the prescribed form. If the product falls under multiple regulations, a single combined declaration may be issued.
Marking
Affix the Ukrainian conformity marking to the product.
Record Keeping
Retain technical documentation and the declaration of conformity for 10 years after the product is placed on the market.
Most electrical equipment falls under several technical regulations simultaneously.
Electrical safety for equipment operating at 50–1000 V AC or 75–1500 V DC. Most commonly applied together with the EMC regulation.

Learn more →LVD covers electrical safety — protection from electric shock and other electrical hazards. EMC covers electromagnetic compatibility — equipment must not cause interference to other devices and must itself function correctly in the presence of typical disturbances. Most electrical equipment falls under both regulations simultaneously.
No, for most products. Module A (internal production control) allows the manufacturer to self-certify. Module B+C with a notified body is optional and may be chosen by the manufacturer for complex products.
No. Radio equipment (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, etc.) falls under the Radio Equipment Technical Regulation (CMU №355), which includes its own EMC requirements. The EMC regulation explicitly excludes equipment covered by the Radio Equipment Regulation.
Key harmonised standards include EN 55032 (emissions for multimedia equipment), EN 55011 (industrial equipment), and the EN 61000-4-x series (immunity tests). Using a harmonised standard creates a presumption of conformity with the regulation.
A new declaration is required when design or component changes may affect EMC performance. The technical documentation and declaration must reflect the current product configuration.
Yes. If a product falls under multiple regulations, a single declaration of conformity may be issued listing all applicable regulations with references to their official publications.
