SURVEY ON EMC/EMI  
REPLIES TO THE SURVE Y 
Communication from Kazakhstan  
The following communication, dated 9 October  2019, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Kazakhstan . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1. (a) Does your Government have mandatory technical requirements for 
electromagnetic interference of Information Technology equipment? If so, 
please identify.  
 
Yes. The technical regulation of the Custom Union "Electromagnetic compatibility of 
technical means" regulates EMC and EMI  aspec ts in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This 
technical regulation lays down general and essential safety and protection requirements 
with which products must comply. It does not prescribe specific technical requirements 
but a general reference is made to standar ds which , when applied , give presumption of 
conformity with the essential requirements.  
 
 (b) Are these requirements harmonized with CISPR 22? If not, please explain the 
current requirements.  
 
Yes. The compliance with the standard GOST  30805.22 -2013 (ident ical CISPR  22:2006) 
raises a presumption of conformity with the technical requirements on electromagnetic 
interference.  
 
2. (a) Does your Government have mandatory technical requirements for 
electromagnetic immunity of Information Technology equipment? If so, please 
identify.  
 
Yes. Information Technology equipment shall have a level of immunity to the 
electromagnetic disturbance to be expected in its intended use which allows it to operate 
without unacceptable degradation of its intended use. It is regulate d by the technical 
regulation of the Custom Union "Electromagnetic compatibility of technical means".  
 
 (b) Are these requirements harmonized with CISPR 24? If not, please explain the 
current requirements.  
 
Yes. The compliance with the standard GOST  CISPR  24-2013 (identical CISPR  24:2010) 
raises a presumption of conformity with the technical requirements for electromagnetic 
immunity.

  3. (a) What conformity assessment procedure for electromagnetic compatibility 
(EMC/EMI), which includes both interfere nce and immunity, does your 
Government require for approval of information technology products?  
 
The technical regulation of the Custom Union "Electromagnetic compatibility of technical 
means" defines  three  groups of technical means:  
 
1. Technical means, p assive with respect to electromagnetic compatibility – not 
covered by these technical regulations: wires, cords, cables, headphones without 
volume control, etc;  
 
2. Technical means subjected to mandatory conformity assessment (certification): 
audio and vid eo equipment, television receivers and radio broadcasting, personal 
electronic computers (PCs), technical means, connected to the personal electronic 
computers, etc;  
 
3. Technical means subjected to conformity assessment in the form of 
manufacturers' declaration of conformity: other technical means.  
 
 (b) May suppliers perform these procedures (e.g. testing, declaration of 
conformity), or must third parties perform these procedures?  
 
Only third parties perform conformity assessment proce dures for technical means of 
2nd group (see response under (a)).  
 
Suppliers may perform and choose the scheme of conformity assessment for the 
technical means of 3rd group (see response under (a)).  
 
 (c) What international guidelines or standards, if any, are those procedures based 
on? If not, what guidelines or standards are they based on?  
 
The procedures are described in the technical regulation of the Custom Union 
"Electromagnetic compatibility of technical means" (adopted by the Decision of the 
Commission of the Customs Union No.  879 of 9  December  2011) and in the regulations 
on typical schemes of conformity assessment (adopted by the Decision of the 
Commission of the Customs Union No.  621 of 7  April 2011). Procedures are aligned with 
internation al guidelines and standards, e.g. ISO/IEC  Guides  61 and 65 (the 
corresponding standards (GOSTs) are identical to these).  
 
4.  Has your regulatory authority received any complaint or had any problems 
regarding the EMC/EMI aspects of the approved information  technology 
products? If yes, how frequent? And please identify the nature of the 
complaint/problem.  
 
The regulatory authority has not received any complaint or had any problems regarding 
the EMC/EMI  aspects of the approved information technology products.
