Ukraine Gradually Changes State Standards Over EMTR

Thursday, 14 January 2016 17:43

 The Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Maxim Nefedov told about the difference of State Standards and the European Model of Technical Regulation (EMTR) and the gradual transition to the latter, UNN reports citing the press-service of the Ministry of Economic Development.

At the meeting of January 13, the Cabinet of Ministers has adopted the final package of documents, required for completion of the 1st stage of the reform of technical regulation system. The main task of the 1st stage was the legislative support of transition to European standards and procedures. The task of the new stage of reform is to remove excessive barriers for entry of Ukrainian manufactured commodities to EU markets.

“The European system is ideologically different from post-Soviet. The old system was based on obligatory standards, state standards, regulating absolutely all characteristics of the commodity and service. Consequently, the observance of these state standards was controlled by analyzing separate product units, which manufacturers provided by themselves. Certainly, such approach did not guarantee that other product units from this lot also comply with State Standards,” – Nefedov said.

The European system, on the contrary, provides more freedom to the manufacturer – he should observe only general safety requirements (established in technical regulations), and characteristics of the product can be chosen by the manufacturer at his own discretion. In the meantime, commodities in the European system are controlled through market supervision.

“This is the method of “mystery shopper” – the test purchase of commodities is conducted at retail chain, and if commodities do not comply with safety requirements - the whole lot is removed from sale. Such way of control is more effective, and it is confirmed by the successful experience of the USA and EU countries”, added the deputy minister.

Except for the approval of a range of technical regulations, the first stage of reform of technical regulation comprised the cancellation of obligatory use of State Standards. In 2015 more than 15 ths 773 State Standards, developed by 1992, have been cancelled. This step frees entrepreneurial initiative and promotes development of competitiveness, and, as a result, creation of new, innovative products and services.
