Timeframes for Development and Introduction of New
Technical Regulations
The Federal Law “Technical Regulation” calls for a
7-year transitional period, during which the new and old technical regulations
and standards will coexist. The Russian government plans to adopt roughly 450
new technical regulations by 2010. Gosstandart of Russia, the national
standardization agency, considers this figure too low. The experts feel that
at least 1000 technical regulations must be reviewed and adopted in order to
cover all industries in the country. The Russian Federation State Duma has
formed a special technical regulation commission, which will use a list of
future technical regulations for preliminary evaluation of drafts of documents
received from developers for review by the lawmakers.
