RF Government Resolution No. 1521 on Approving the List of National Standards and Codes (Parts of Such Standards and Codes) Whose Application Results in Mandatory Compliance with the Requirements of the Federal Law ‘Technical Regulation on the Safety of Buildings and Structures’ (in the version of RF Government Resolution No. 1033 of September 29, 2015) of December 26, 2014 and Rosstandart Order No. 365 on Approving the List of Standardization Documents Whose Application Results in Voluntary Compliance with the Requirements of the Federal Law ‘Technical Regulation on the Safety of Buildings and Structures’ of March 30, 2015

For the purposes of ensuring implementation of the provisions of Federal Law No. 384-FZ Technical Regulation on the Safety of Buildings and Structures of December 30, 2009, the RF Government and Rosstandart have approved lists of national standards and codes subject to mandatory and voluntary application. Please note that these documents have been updated and substantive changes to the SNiP (construction rules and regulations) and GOST previously in force have been made. Design documentation must comply with the updated mandatory requirements in cases where it is submitted for expert review after July 1, 2015. In particular, non-residential premises for temporary accommodation must now comply with the requirements of SP 54.13330.2011 Residential Apartment Buildings. Thus, hotels must abide by the requirements imposed on residential buildings in terms of solar exposure, parking facilities, landscaping, etc.

The Resolution supplements the mandatory list with SNiP that had been applied previously on a voluntary basis, such as: SNiP 3.03.01-87 “Load-Bearing and Enclosures.” A number of SNiP and GOST have been struck from mandatory application, such as: SNiP 3.01.03-84 “Geodesic Work in Construction.”

Both acts entered into force on July 1, 2015.
