The State Committee for Standardization, Metrology and Patents has approved 12 new national standards (http://goo.gl/RMZuqA), which were developed on the basis of international, European and Russian standards.
Most of the new standards are relating to the requirements for food products (pomegranates, wheat flour, olive oil, butter, chocolate and chocolate products, and soft and low-alcohol tonics). They also define the requirements for consumer information on food products, food hygiene, and allowable concentrations of veterinary drugs in food products.
The standard requirements for profiled and direct fiber-cement sheets have been also adopted. These industrial products recently have been widely applied in the facing of buildings. In the near future a new fiber cement plant of the group of companies Synergy Group JSC will be put into operation. ---08D
