The EAEU Technical Regulation CU 008/2011 "On the safety of toys" applies in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.
As of 22 December 2024, importers and manufacturers of oil and fat products (including sunflower, olive and other plant oils, butter, mayonnaise, margarines, spreads and oil-based creams) are required to comply with the revised Technical Regulation on Oils and Fats (TR TS 024/2011) – subject to the transitional period of one year (i.e. until 22 December 2025).
The EurAsian Economic Commission Board has amended the lists of standards for the Technical Regulation on the Safety of Cosmetics and Perfumery TR TS 009/2011.

On 18 July 2023 a draft law that would amend Technical Regulation No. 040/2016 on Fish and Fish Products was published.
The amendments would clarify some provisions of the TR on Fish and Fish Products and introduce definitions to some new terms, such as “surimi mince” into the TR.
The amendments would also provide for a revised edition of Annex 1 to the TR 040/2016 “Microbiological safety norms”.
As of 22 January 2023 manufacturers and importers registering or renewing declarations of conformity of products with EAEU technical regulations have to follow the revised registration procedure.

- storage conditions and durability period for the product in question;
- service period of the product in the declaration.
The entry into force of the EAEU Technical Regulation 041/2017 on the Safety of Chemical Products (“the EurAsia REACH” which is also called "Russia REACH") has been delayed again. It is likely that the TR is to enter into force around 2025-2026.
The main reason for so many delays is the absence of the adopted “second-level” legislation that would regulate chemical notification procedure and creation of the EAEU Chemical Registry.
