Uzbekistan has introduced significant updates to its regulatory framework, impacting manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment. These changes, centered on hazardous substances and low-voltage equipment safety, aim to align national standards with global practices. The Uzbekistan RoHS regulations, now official, mark a key compliance milestone for market access in 2025 and 2026.
Uzbekistan RoHS Regulations Limit 10 Hazardous Substances
Under Cabinet Resolution No. 517 (August 15, 2025), Uzbekistan has approved technical regulations restricting the use of 10 hazardous substances in electrical and radioelectronic products, including Lead, Mercury, and Cadmium. These requirements:
-
Enter into force on February 17, 2026.
-
Apply to homogeneous materials in affected products.
-
Must be fulfilled through Declaration of Conformity or Certification.
-
Will be integrated into product certification processes during renewals or inspections.
A structured implementation plan includes stakeholder awareness and specific actions by conformity assessment bodies, outlined in a detailed diagram.
Low-Voltage Equipment Regulations Coming October 2025
The second regulation, Resolution No. 216 (April 9, 2025), becomes effective on October 10, 2025. It mandates safety standards for equipment operating at:
-
50–1000 V AC
-
75–1500 V DC
This includes requirements for:
-
Electrical and mechanical safety
-
Fire prevention
-
Environmental protection
-
Energy efficiency labeling
Certificates and declarations issued before the enforcement date will remain valid until their expiry, after which full compliance is required.
Compliance Planning for Uzbekistan RoHS Regulations
Manufacturers, importers, and local representatives should:
-
Review product portfolios to identify impacted items.
-
Plan testing and documentation updates ahead of deadlines.
-
Align with RoHS and low-voltage safety expectations in time for 2025/2026.
