If there are national legislative norms regarding energy efficiency in the EAEU member state (Belarus), it is possible to use national conformity documents against EE requirements within 24 months after the effective date of the EE regulation. However, to put new products into the circulation on such markets (Belarus) the conformity documents against TR EAEU 048/2019 requirements are mandatory.
