Minister of Construction and Urban Development D.Tsogtbaatar and Head of the Standardization and Measurement Authority G.Gantumur held open session on the upcoming introduction of over 160 new standards to bring in the Euro Standard into construction sector.
Extensive research outcomes revealed the need to intorduce the Euro Standards and its duplication, development of the similar Mongolian standards and ensure the opportunities to introduce new technologies and equipments into Mongolian construction sector. Therefore the initial use of 133 standards on requirements to building safety and guarantees and planning principles and 31 standards developed by the EU are to be used in English for the term of one year by the construction companies, research centers, construction material manufacturers and construction layout developers.
The term of one year is set as the initial term, during which those standards to be translated and Mongolian versions are to be developed and the term can be extended. The order was issued yesterday by the Minister of Construction and Urban Development.
D.Tsogtbaatar, Minister of Construction and Urban Development emphasized that use of Euro standards will set higher bars for quality imports, which in turn is to improve the final product supplied to market.
Moreover, the improved quality of the buildings will significantly reduce the maintenance of the buildings and improve the living environment of the residents, which in turn will have economic benefit. The main challenge is the improvement of the laboratory capacities to ensure the quality of the construction materials.
G.Gantumur, Head of Standardization and Measurement Authority emphasized that every entity engaged in operations on construction sector has the right to introduce these standards into their daily operations. The use of those standards will improve the sector structurally and set higher bars for the imported construction materials.
