the base of the European ones
Conversion of the national
(governmental) standards
into the intergovernmental ones
Not included into the Lists

DEVELOPMENT of INTERGOVERNMENTAL STANDARDS
for the TECHNICAL REGULATIONS of the CUSTOMS UNION
Development and implementation
of the target programs for development of intergovernmental standards for
the products for which technical regulations of the Customs Union are
prepared
Draft Program (Plan) of standardization for the purpose of technical regulation of
the Customs Union
Inclusion of the standards into
the Program of works for intergovernmental standardization of EASC
Development of intergovernmental standards,
used for the purpose of assessment (attestation) of conformity to the
technical regulation of the Customs Union

NATIONAL PLANS of STANDARDIZATION
RINCIPLES of FORMATION
 Preferable acceptance of the intergovernmental standards - GOST
 Primary acceptance of the identical standards instead of modified
ones
 Development of standards exceptionally on the base of the last
versions of the International and regional standards
Coordination of standards development between RF, RB and RK
 Elimination of duplication of the themes between RF, RB and RK
 Elimination of acceptance of the national alterations in GOST
21
DEVELOPMENT of the PRINCIPLES of STANDARDIZATION
for the CUSTOMS UNION
PRINCIPLES
 Openness and publicity of the
processes of development
 Acceptance on the base of
consensus
 Availability of standards,
information of an order of their
development, acceptance
(approval) and publishing
 Application of the International and
regional standards as the basis
 Inadmissibility of acceptance
(approval) of the standards which
contradict to the technical
regulations
COMMITMENT of the PARTIES
 To put in force on the national level in the
obligatory order in each Customs Union
member-state in the unified due time
 To cancel all the national (governmental)
standards which contradict to
intergovernmental standards
 To notify of the beginning of the
development of the national
(governmental) standards and to stop their
development by making the decision of the
development of the intergovernmental
standards for this standardization object

Alteration in the Provisions
on the order of forming the lists of international and regional (intergovernmental)
standards and in case of their absence – of national (governmental) standards,
that ensure compliance with the requirements of the Customs Union technical
regulation and necessary to perform conformity assessment (attestation)
Approved by the Decision No. 57 of the EEC Board
of May 31, 2012
Change of the level of approval of the Lists of Standards – by EEC Board
Operational efficiency of alterations
Establishment of priority of the harmonized standards
With the latest versions of the
International and regional standards
Change of the form of the Lists of Standards
Establishment of the transition period
If an intergovernmental standard is absent – only one national standard
For a transition period before
development of an intergovernmental
standard
