If you’re selling electronics in Ukraine and ignoring RoHS — you're risking your market access, brand trust, and regulatory fines. Ukraine’s version of RoHS isn’t a carbon copy of the EU RoHS — it’s closely aligned but with local nuances that matter.
Here’s what you need to know — and exactly how to comply.
What is Ukraine RoHS?
Ukraine RoHS, officially the Technical Regulation on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, was enacted under:
Постанова Кабінету Міністрів України № 139 від 10 березня 2017 року (Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 139 dated March 10, 2017)
It came into force on September 22, 2017 and mirrors EU RoHS (Directive 2011/65/EU), but with local documentation, labeling, and certification requirements — including the UkrSEPRO conformity mark.
What Products Are In Scope of Ukraine RoHS?
Ukraine RoHS applies to almost all EEE categories, including:
- Large & small household appliances
- IT & telecom equipment
- Consumer electronics
- Lighting equipment
- Power tools
- Medical devices
- Monitoring & control equipment
- Automatic dispensers
- Other electrical and electronic gear
Batteries are out of scope — governed by separate rules.
Ukraine RoHS Restricted Substances & Thresholds
Ukraine RoHS limits 10 hazardous substances — at the homogeneous material level:
Ukraine uses the same limits and substance list as the EU — including the four phthalates added in the 2019 EU update.
Ukraine RoHS Declaration of Conformity (DoC): What’s Required?
- Must be in Ukrainian
- Must list applicable standards, exemptions, and product info
- Must be signed by the manufacturer or authorized representative
Tip: Your EU DoC won’t cut it unless you meet Ukrainian language and labeling requirements.
Ukraine RoHS Certification & UkrSEPRO Marking
Unlike the CE mark, Ukraine mandates the UkrSEPRO conformity mark. This mark proves that:
- Your product passed conformity assessment
- A valid DoC exists
- Technical documentation is complete and accessible
Products must follow Decree No. 1184 for marking placement.
Ukraine RoHS Technical Documentation: Now Based on DSTU EN IEC 63000:2020
Ukraine adopted ДСТУ EN IEC 63000:2020 (State Standard of Ukraine, aligned with EN IEC 63000:2018).
It replaces the older ДСТУ EN 50581:2014 and sets requirements for building technical files.
Required docs include:
- RoHS test reports
- Bill of materials (BOM)
- Supplier declarations
- Risk assessment
- User manuals (in Ukrainian)
- Signed DoC
Your old DoCs are valid for legacy products — but update for any new SKUs.
Ukraine RoHS Market Surveillance & Enforcement
Ukraine’s market authorities and customs:
- Verify DoC & UkrSEPRO marking
- Audit technical files
- Random test products
- Require 10-year documentation retention post-placement
Non-compliance may lead to product recalls, fines, or bans.
