 І.  The State of the Reform of Ukraine's Technical Regulation System  
The WTO accession process and plans of Ukraine to in tegrate into the European Union predetermined 
Ukraine's approach to reforming its technical re gulation system.  This approach involves gradual 
incorporation into national legislation of Ukrain e of international and European mechanisms and 
principles that ensure health and safety of citizen s, competitive products, help improve conditions for 
trade in goods and provision of services, and remove unnecessary barriers to trade.  
Following the provisions of the Agreement on technical barriers to trade (TBT) and Articles 51 and 
56 of the EU – Ukraine Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, Ukraine has undertaken an obligation to introduce in its nati onal technical legislation international and European standards, 
norms, rules, and conformity assessment procedures.  
The first stage of the reform resulted in the adoptio n by the Government of Ukraine in 2001 of the 
framework laws "On standardization" (No. 2408- ІІІ), "On conformity assessment" (No. 2406- ІІІ), 
"On accreditation of bodies based on conformity assessment" (No. 2407- ІІІ). Ukraine's new technical 
legislation contains main principles of developm ent, approval and implem entation of standards, 
technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, specifically: 
- Introduction of voluntary application of standards; 
- Assigning highest priority to direct implementa tion of international and European standards; 
- Harmonizing national legal and regulatory acts dealing with conformity assessment with 
international and European ones; 
- Provision of certification services by all properly accredited certification bodies of any 
ownership form; 
- Application of methods of conformity assess ment reflecting potential risks, which is 
consistent with international practice, in par ticular that involving producers' declaration of 
conformity; and 
- Ensuring identical procedures for conformity  assessment for domestic and foreign goods. 
At the next stage of the reform of the technical re gulation system were determined the priority tasks 
for adaptation of technical legislation and implemen tation of international and European standards, 
aimed to improve trade and econom ic relations, improve product qua lity and competitiveness, remove 
unnecessary barriers to trade, and create favourable investment conditions.  
The three years of application of the legislation in the area of standardization, conformity assessment 
and the dynamics of development of the economic  processes demonstrated  the need to make 
necessary amendments to existing laws. To meet th is end, Ukraine's State Committee for Consumer 
Standards reviewed recommendations provided by me mbers of the Working Party for considering 
Ukraine's application for WTO membership, interna tional and European experts, who worked under 
technical assistance projects. 
Currently the work is focused on draft law "On tec hnical regulation", which was prepared jointly with 
experts of the USAID-sponsored technical assistan ce project, which is to improve organization and 
operation of the national technical  regulation system, based on the WTO principles and reflecting 
relevant experiences of EU Members.  In particular, this draft law is to set procedures for developing 
and applying technical regulations, to legislativel y regulate the issue of organization and application 
of conformity assessment in the legally regulated ar ea and to carry out market supervision, continue 
the process of application of EU directives to products that define Ukraine's economic growth. 
As of 1 January 2005, Ukraine had adopted 16 t echnical regulations on conformity assessment based 
on European directives under the New approach.  One of such regulations ("On modules of 
conformity assessment and requirements concerning a pplication of the national conformity stamp,  WT/ACC/UKR/129 
 Page 3 
 
 
 which are used technical regulations on conformity assessment") was approved by the order of the 
Cabinet of ministers of Ukraine of 7 October 2003 No. 1585.  The other 15 re gulations were approved 
by orders of Ukraine's State Committee for Consum er Standards, which were registered with the 
Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.  The said regulatory legal acts, which set forth requirements to products and conformity assessment pr ocedures for particular categories of goods, in particular toys, 
simple high-pressure vessels, low-voltage equipm ent, lifts, means of individual protection for 
machines and mechanisms, will be taking effect in accordance with relevant gradual implementation 
plans. At present ten such plans have been develo ped (now they are being reviewed by relevant 
central executive government agencies).    
Adopted regulatory – legal acts shall be taking e ffect in accordance with the gradual implementation 
plans, which specify a list of standards, implemen tation dates, determine preparation of conformity 
assessment bodies and testing laboratories for accreditation, training of specialists.  
As technical regulations get implem ented, the List of products subject to obligatory certification by 
third parties will be gradually shortened, and impor ter or producer conformity declarations will be 
used on a greater scale. 
Today Ukraine's national technical regulator y framework includes over 20,000 standards.  
The review of existing standards (former USSR, na tional and international st andards), cancellation of 
standards and development of new standards are pe rformed on the basis of planning. Under Article 11 
of Law of Ukraine "On standardization" and th e Code of good faith practices of development, 
adoption and application of standards, Ukraine's State Committee for Consumer Standards, being a 
national standardization agency, prepares Technical  Standardization Program and annual Government 
Standardization Plan, reflecting the society's need  in standards, government priorities, proposals 
provided by ministries or other central executive government agencies, technical standardization 
committees.  
First of all, these are: - standards, compliance with which is viewed as proof of compliance with requirements of 
technical regulations developed on the basis of  European directives of the New approach; 
- standards for technical processes that ensure quality, safety and durabilit y of goods (welding, 
coating, storage of agricultural produce, etc.); 
- information technology standards, including st andards for automated control systems; and 
- standards for methods of control of agricultu ral and food products, me tallurgy products, light 
industry, energy accounting, consumer goods. 
The government standardization plan for 2004 provide d for development of over 1,700 standards, of 
which 1,171 concern implementation of internationa l and European standards, (specifically, ISO - 
601, EC - 71, EN -  454). 
As of 1 May 2005, there were effective 2,460 na tional standards, which had been harmonized with 
international and European standards, of which 293 were adopted before 2000, 457 – during 2001, 
340 – in 2002, and 517 – in 2003 and 596 – in 2004.  Over four months in 2005 already 
257 harmonized standards were adopted.  All these st andards were approved and put into effect by 
orders of Ukraine's State Committee for Consumer Standards.  
The passed standards concern requirements and me thods of control of food products, quality of 
drinking water, air, soil, agriculture machines, fer tilizers, animal feed, table ware, electric appliances, 
medical instruments, information technologies, digita l television, lifts, means of individual protection 
of workers, goods made of wood. WT/ACC/UKR/129 
Page 4  
 
 Over these three years it was ensured that in mo st sectors there were passed national standards 
identical to or harmonized with international st andards in accordance with internationally accepted 
rules. The harmonization rate for the passed standards exceeded 80 per cent.  
To speed up integration processes and creation of mo dern regulatory framework in line with decisions 
of the President and Government of Ukraine, it is ensured that annually at least 500 harmonized 
standards are prepared and passed. 
At this stage development of standards is funded from the state budget.  In 2004 for the purpose of 
harmonization of national standards with interna tional and European standards HRV UA 8.5 million 
was to be allocated (equivalent to US$ 1.5 milli on), although only half of that amount was actually 
provided (HRV UA 4.134 million), and in 2005 the f unding for standards harmonization was planned 
in the amount of HRV UA 8.5 million (t he estimated fundi ng required being 
HRV UA 10-12.5 million). 
To organize development of national standard s and conducting standardization activities in 
conformity with international practice, Ukraine became a member of ISO and IEC, OIML, and in 
1996 it was announced that Ukraine would join the Code of Good Practice of  Development, Adoption 
and Application of Standards within the framework  of the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to 
Trade.  In 2004, 75 national technical committe es cooperated with 282 technical committees and 
subcommittees of ISO, and 29 cooperated with 139 technical committees and subcommittees of ІЕС. 
In 2004 Ukraine, represented by the State Committee for Consumer Standards, was given membership 
in the Council of  International Standardization Organization (ISO). 
Ukraine's State Committee for Consumer Standard s cooperates with European standardization 
organizations CEN (after 1 January 2005, as a pa rtner body for standardization) and CENELEC, and 
is also an active member of the CIS Inter-governmental council for standardization, metrology and certification. 
Based on Ukraine's initiative, within the framewo rk of the CIS Inter-governmental council for 
standardization, metrology and certification, an intergovernmental plan for activities aimed to 
harmonize inter-governmental standards with intern ational and European standards for 2004-2006 
years was prepared (providing for developm ent of over 1,000 harmonized standards).  
It has been planned to develop in 2005 a Program for reviewing the still effective FSU standards (the 
number of such standards amounts to approximately 16,000).  These standards shall be examined for 
conformity with the WTO rules and requirement s, as well as for their acceptability for Ukraine's 
economy at the current stage.  These activities are to result in proposals concerning elimination of the 
standards that are no longer relevant, and in adoptio n of respective international standards to replace 
the obsolete ones and those that may constitute techni cal barriers to trade.  Implementation of this 
large-scale Program will require adequate funding.  Du e to constraints related to the outlays from the 
State budget for the stated purposes, technical assistance provided by donor countries would be vital. 
To remove unnecessary barriers to trade, simplify pr ocedures for market entry for regulated products, 
which are exported/imported, and acting in accordance with Article 6.3 of the Agreement on technical 
barriers to trade, Ukraine's State Committee fo r Consumer Standards signed 37 agreements on 
cooperation in the area of technical regulation with 27 countries. 
An important condition of Ukraine's accession to th e WTO is introduction of transparent process of 
development and adoption of techni cal regulations and standards, conformity assessment procedures, 
effective communication with trading partners. Na tional notification and enquiry processing centre is 
to perform such functions.  This centre, set up w ithin the system of Ukra ine's State Committee for 
Consumer Standards on the base of National in formation centre ISONET in accordance with the  WT/ACC/UKR/129 
 Page 5 
 
 
 Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of  1 February 1995 No. 84, presently requires technical 
upgrade to meet the requirements of the Agreement on technical barriers to trade concerning access to 
complete full-text database of standards, proposed  standards and other regulatory documents, which 
may create technical barriers to trade.  To ensure proper operational capacity of the National notification and enquiry processing centre, it is n ecessary to equip it with modern hardware, up-to-
date licensed software and necessary information resources. 
Using resources available, Ukraine's membership in international and re gional standardization 
organizations and availability of technical assi stance, Ukraine's State Committee for Consumer 
Standards created the Central Database of Regul atory Documents, which comprises 3,600 national 
standards (DSTU), 18,700 intergovernmental st andards (GOST), 14,600 ISO standards, 5,000 ІЕС 
standards, 7,600 European standards, as well as st andards of UK, Germany, USA, Canada, Japan in 
the paper form. Since recently, th e database has been receiving regula tory documents in the electronic 
form. 
Provision of responses to inquiries of trading parties has been ensured, together with preparation of 
notifications of adopted laws, exclusions from the lis t of products subject to obligatory certification, 
existence of technical standardization work programs,  of agreements reached in the area of mutual 
recognition of certification.  In 2000 – 2002 at least eight Ukrainian notifications were given the status 
of official documents of WTO.  This activity continues. 
To further activities aimed to ensu re transparency, which is one of the WTO principles, Ukraine's 
State Committee for Consumer Standards, follo wing Articles 7 and 16 of Law of Ukraine "On 
standardization" and Orders of the President of  Ukraine on accelerating Ukraine's accession to WTO, 
initiated development of the relevant draft order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.  The draft 
order reflected certain changes that took place in th e area of technical regulation lately and experience 
accumulated.  
Considering the aforementioned, priorities in furthe r activities in the area of technical regulation shall 
be: 
- furthering the "Plan of measures aimed to ensure conformity of Ukraine's national 
standardization and technical regulation system  with the Agreement on technical barriers to 
trade (for 2005-2010)" based on the outcomes of the consideration and discussions of the Working Party members and WTO Members; 
- continued harmonization of the national legisla tion with provisions of the TBT Agreement, 
including procedural and transparency requirements; 
- continuing the process of review of national technical rules, standards and conformity 
assessment procedures to eliminate any provisions that are more stringent than international 
requirements and cannot be justified on the b asis of the existing provisions of the TBT 
Agreement (the sphere of protection of hum an life or health, environment, etc.); 
- preparing annual work plans specifying regulator y and technical measures to be taken, as well 
as dates for ensuring complete conformity and harmonization with international standards; 
- assigning priority significance to urgent problems  that will be identified by WTO Members as 
such that create or look like barriers to trade; and 
- preparing annual reports on progress achieved in the area of harmonization of technical 
requirements, standards and conformity assessme nt procedures with relevant international 
standards. 
Given the anticipated program of harmonization and its projected  completion dates, Ukraine is being 
in need of additional technical assi stance to speed this process up. WT/ACC/UKR/129
