The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine at a meeting approved the reduction of the total term for developing draft national construction standards from 18 months to 10 months.

The Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities Economy Ministry drew up the document.
“Today, the procedure for developing national construction standards is still quite bureaucratic and delayed. Now the basic organization first forms the technical specifications for the development of the future national construction standard, and then it is published on the website and is discussed with the public, after which proposals are made and the technical specifications are reviewed. In order not to do double work and spend extra time, we suggest that together with experts, professionals and the public, we determine the essential conditions, that is, what the purpose of the future national construction standard being developed and what it is aimed at, and on the basis of this jointly and finally formulate the technical specifications,” Deputy Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities Economy Minister Lev Partskhaladze said on his Facebook page.
According to the resolution, the national construction standards should be developed in accordance with the technical specifications, which are based on the results of the collection and analysis of issues that require regulation based on proposals from businesses and individuals. Also, when developing draft new national construction standards and amendments to them, substantial conditions should be taken into account, which are determined after their public discussion.
