Russian Technical Regulations
The Russian government has embarked on regulatory
reform. The reforms should inflict serious damage on the post-Soviet
bureaucracy, taking the right to establish mandatory technical requirements
away from the bureaucrats in the industrial ministries and inspection
agencies. Why the reforms? Will the old standards remain in force? How long
will the transitional period last? Read the overview of the Russia`s current
regulatory environment to find out how the reforms may affect your business in
Russia.
The Federal Law “Technical Regulation” radically changed
the procedure for developing, reviewing, enacting, and revising technical
regulations in Russia. The law does not limit who can develop technical
regulations, and requires mandatory public discussion of drafts of
regulations. These provisions of the law assure active participation of the
public, businesses, trade associations, and consumer advocacy groups in the
process of developing technical regulations.
