Summary of Uzbekistan Resolution No. 66 (February 17, 2026)
Resolution No. 66, issued by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan on February 17, 2026, introduces significant amendments to existing technical regulations regarding product safety. For manufacturers and type approval providers, the regulation impacts the certification timeline for radio-electronic products and establishes specific safety requirements for electronic toys.
Scope and Impact on Certification
The regulation primarily amends three existing technical frameworks. Its primary impact on the radio device industry is the extension of the implementation period for hazardous substance restrictions (RoHS) in radio-electronic products. Additionally, it clarifies the list of products, including electronic games and radio-controlled models, that must undergo mandatory conformity assessment before being placed on the market.
Technical Parameters and Restrictions
While the regulation does not define radio frequency bands, it specifies technical parameters for electronic and magnetic components within consumer devices:
Magnetic Flux Limit: For toys containing magnetic elements, the magnetic flux index must not exceed 0.5 T² mm².
Mechanical Safety: Specific requirements are set for cords in flying toys and the durability of suspension components in toys designed for children under three years of age.
Mandatory Conformity Assessment
The regulation provides an exhaustive list of products subject to mandatory conformity assessment. Key items relevant to the electronics sector include:
Electronic trains and their accessories.
Construction sets and models with integrated motors.
Electronic games and video game consoles.
Toys in the form of musical instruments with electronic components.
Electronic racing sets and track components.
Labeling Requirements
Specific labeling is required for devices categorized as magnetic toys. Manufacturers must include a warning in the user manual or on the packaging that states:
"Attention! Attention! Contains loose magnets or magnetic elements. Use only under the direct supervision of adults. If magnets or magnetic elements are swallowed, seek medical attention immediately!"
Modifications to Existing Regulations
This resolution introduces critical changes to the following regulations:
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS): Modifies Resolution No. 517 (August 15, 2025), "Technical Regulation on the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Radio-Electronic Products." The implementation period specified in Clause 2 is extended from six months to eighteen months.
Safety of Toys: Amends Resolution No. 451 (July 23, 2020), "Technical Regulation on the Safety of Toys," by introducing a mandatory list of products requiring conformity assessment and updating safety definitions for magnetic and flying toys.
Gas Equipment Safety: Amends Resolution No. 887 (December 26, 2024), "Technical Regulation on the Safety of Apparatus Operating on Gaseous Fuel," specifically regarding safety design and filtration for high-power boilers.
