Does Russia Have Regulatory Framework for Risk Management?
Russia's regulatory framework for risk management is analyzed with respect to its conformity with international standards; inaccuracies of translation and interpretation of basic concepts are discussed. There is marked the absence of regulatory definitions of a number of concepts used in the Federal Law "On Technical Regulation", in particular, such as the degree of risk, the degree of acceptable risk, unac- ceptable risk, the degree of actual science-based risk, the degree of risk of failing the objectives of technical regulations. The conclusion on the threat of scientifically unreasonable normative documents for national security is substantiated.
