10. 10 Directive 89/106/ЕСС Eurocodes – norms of construction engineering EN and ISO standards for materials Voluntary Eurocodes – as integration tool Directive and the Eurocodes refer to the harmonized European and international standards (about 2500). Directive 89/106/ESS of EU member states law approximation on building products establishes the essential requirements for safety of construction products Eurocodes (Standards EN) serve to unify the design methods in accordance with the requirements of the Directive Harmonsation Presumption of conformity Presumption of suitability

11. Harmonized standard ► Simplifies and speeds up the procedure of conformity assessment, especially when it is necessary to prove compliance with a number of Directives. ► Publication in the Official Journal confirms that the EU Commission has established the sufficiency of the harmonized standard for execution of basic requirements. ► The use of harmonized standards can only be voluntary ► The use of harmonized standards can only be voluntary. ► Any other way of proving compliance with the essential requirements of Directive is more expensive and much time- taking. 11

21. 21 National and European regulatory and technical documents in the construction sphere ► Using the CEN regulations, the State Standard of Belarus and their existing translation versions in Russia. ► Direct introduction of European standards on the territory of Russia is possible only through an integrated transfer system- wide CEN standards for construction:  2500 EN and ISO standards relating to construction and integrated security;  application of EN to the object of regulation in EU countries by means of a complex of interrelated standards and rules of EN with a reference method;  the difference with the Russian national system: ► in terms, definitions and notations ► in methodological approaches to the calculations and tests ► in metrological basis ► in the construction standards

22. Steps to create an alternative system of technical regulation in the construction industry ► The implementation of EU directives relating to the construction (13 directives) in the territories of the CU, the EurAsEC, CIS. ► Translation and implementation of the Eurocodes and the adoption by the European Commission and CEN nationally determined parameters for the conditions of the CU, the EurAsEC, CIS, based on TSN. ► Updated estimate and the regulatory framework. ► Implementation of EU experience with PPP including Life Cycle Contract (LCC). ► Usage of the European experience construction risks insurance. ► European standards implementation could be cost-effective in a frame of a project, such as VSM1 with the organization of the reproduction of construction technologies and building materials. 22

Need to implement existing European standards in areas where there are no Russian standards. Should start with areas that are key to modernization. ►... Need to identify areas where standards and technical regulations between the EU and Russia are different, for the further lifting of obstacles. Need to introduce international standards wherever possible. 23
