2.1* State system of building norms, rules and standards represents a complex of
normative and technical documents under the integrated nomenclature of objects, is resulted
in the obligatory appendix 1. Following categories of normative and technical documents
of Turkmenistan in the field of building are established:
interstate standards, TDS-;
state standards of Turkmenistan, TDS;
building norms of Turkmenistan TGK (SNT);
building-technological norms of Turkmenistan TGTK (STNT);
technical specifications, ТŞ (TU);
enterprise standards, KS (SII).
2.2 Simultaneously with the system documents in building are also applied
other State standards of Turkmenistan, and also documents of bodies of supervision, which
are directly not included into system. Mutual conformity of norms and standards of
system and documents of the specified bodies is provided by carrying out of necessary
coordination at a stage of their workings out.
2.3* Nomenclature of standard documents in building: state standards of
Turkmenistan (TDS), building norms of Turkmenistan (TGK), is defined by the Ministry
of building and the industry of building materials of Turkmenistan.
The nomenclature of building-technological norms (TGTK), technical
specifications (TŞ), standards of the enterprises (KS) is defined by the bodies confirming
this document in coordination with Minbuildingbuildmaterials of Turkmenistan.
2.4 In development of the state system of building norms, rules and standards
can be developed manuals, textbooks and the recommendations which are not standard
documents.
As recommended and reference-information materials are allowed for usage
available in operating system of standard documents rules of building manufacture (except
for a quality monitoring systems), budget norms, norms of the expense of materials,
expenses of work, duration of building, specifications of a reserve and specific capital
investments, price lists for design and prospecting works and various rules.
2.5* In the state system of building norms, rules and standards, state standards of
Turkmenistan (TDS) and technical specifications (TŞ) are confirmed and registered by
Main State Servise «Turkmenstandartlary”, building norms of Turkmenistan are confirmed
by Minbuildingbuildmaterials of Turkmenistan, the technical specifications, developed in
coordination with the customer are confirmed by the customer and are obligatory for the
participants of the investment process.
2.6 Building-technological norms (TGTK), are confirmed by branch attribute
by the ministries, departments, manufacture associations, concerns, associations and etc.,
(further - the organisations) for usage in the divisions included into these organisations.
For other organisations these (TGTK) can be obligatory under condition of the
confirmation or introduction into action (TGTK) by these organisations.
2.7 Standards of the enterprises (KS) are confirmed by the organisations for
usage in the divisions included into these organisations.
For other organisations standards of the enterprises can be obligatory under
condition of confirmation by them or introduction into action of the standard of the
enterprise by this organisation.
2.8 Building-technological norms, technical specifications and standards of the
enterprises should not contradict to the interstate standards, state standards of
Turkmenistan, to the building norms of Turkmenistan or to duplicate them.
2.9* Building-technological norms and standards of the enterprises are obligatory
for the organisations and enterprises, which are carrying out designing and building of
buildings and constructions, administered by the given ministries, departments,
manufacture associations.
2.10* Standard documents of the state system should be co-ordinated with the
bodies of the state supervision in a part concerning their competence, according to the rules
about these organisations, confirmed in accordance with established order. The standard
documents connected with labour protection requirements, including, with bodies of the
National Center of trade unions of Turkmenistan in accordance with established order.
2.11 Terms of introduction in action of the standard documents providing
substantial growth of capital investments should be defined in coordination with the
Ministry of Economics and the finance of Turkmenistan.

3. REQUIREMENTS TO THE CONTENT OF STANDARD

DOCUMENTS OF THE STATE SYSTEM

3.1 Standard documents of all kinds included into system, should contain accurately
differentiated obligatory norms and requirements, recommendatory normatives and the
reference data.
3.2* Into the obligatory are included the norms and requirements which regulate final
functional properties and operational characteristics of an inhabitancy, buildings and
constructions, building products and materials and other production used in building, for
safety of a life, health, work and property of citizens, protection of the environment,
reliability and durability of erected buildings and constructions, interchangeability and
compatibility, and also rules of packing, marking and a control methods on conformity to
obligatory requirements.
At impossibility of direct standardization and the control of final functional
properties and operational characteristics they can be indirectly regulated, by an
establishment of space-planning, constructive, technological or other controllable
requirements.
System documents should contain the minimum necessary for protection of
interests of the consumer number of obligatory norms and requirements, excessive
working out in detail is excluded. Requirements of bodies of supervision are resulted with
referring to the documents confirmed by these bodies.
3.3 There are included into the recommendatory:
– indicators of the consumer properties which values can change
according to requirements and possibilities of the concrete consumer.
– the normatives, concerning the mechanism of realisation of
obligatory requirements and ways of achievements of those results, which are regulated by
these requirements (constructive and planning decisions, calculation methods, technology
of works etc.)
3.4 In each complex of standard documents are resulted all necessary norms and the
requirements, concerning the given object and provided at stages of researches, designing,
industrial production, building and operation.
Obligatory requirements are established at the minimum necessary (at maximum
admissible) level. Recommended norms should be optimum with taking into account of
advanced national and foreign experience.
3.5* In the building norms are established obligatory rules, general for all territory of
Turkmenistan, its velayats (regions), cities and etraps (districts) with certain climatic,
geological and other environmental conditions.
Building norms and rules should contain the basic organizational-methodical
requirements directed on maintenance of a necessary degree of quality of building
production, the general technical requirements on engineering researches for building, to
designing, and also requirements to a lay-out and building, buildings and constructions,
building designs, the bases and systems of the engineering equipment.
These requirements should define:
– reliability of buildings and constructions and their systems in design
service conditions, durability and stability of building designs and bases;

humidity, acoustic and light modes of premises;
– operational characteristics and parameters of buildings and
constructions of different function and rules of their placing with taking into account
sanitary, ecological and other norms;
– reduction of the expense of fuel and energy resources and reduction of
losses of warmth in buildings and constructions.
In state standards depending on their kind should be established obligatory and
recommended rules, including:
– requirements to the standard, design, technological and to other kinds
of documentation;
– requirements on dimensional and functional compatibility,
interchangeability in building;
– controllable characteristics and parameters of premises and constructive
parts of buildings and constructions, and also elements of engineering systems;

enterprises of building industry and building materials, to the most mass concrete kinds of
building products, materials and the equipment;
– acceptance rules and control methods (tests and measurements) in
building and in manufacture of building products, materials and the equipment.
In building-technological norms are established norms on designing and building of
objects of certain branch of a national economy necessary for activity of the given
organisation. In the standard documentation on designing are combined norms of building
and technological designing.
In standards of the enterprises are established all complex of requirements to
manufactured production, services, and processes, created and applied only at the given
enterprise.
