The basis of standardisation activities is a single state plan of standardisation work, which sets out standardisation tasks and their carriers; the plan shall be drawn up by the Office in cooperation with the other central authorities and authorities.
(1) The proposal for a technical standard must be drawn up and discussed in the field of responsibility of the task-holder in order to meet the requirements of Section 1.
(2) At the same time as the draft technical standard, a draft measure must be drawn up to ensure that the standard is established, observed or applied.
The technical standard discussed and approved shall, with the exception referred to in Paragraph 4 (1), be declared responsible for the approval of the standard. The President of the Office shall determine how State standards are to be declared.
An application for revision, amendment, transitional provisions or cancellation of a technical standard or parts thereof shall be dealt with in the same way as a proposal for a new standard.
Obligations of organisations and workers
(1) Care for the development of technical standardisation is a matter for organisations and workers.

Organisations are required to identify standardised products in the published price lists, catalogues and catalogues as set out in the declared technical standard.
The standards used to defend the state are classified. In addition, there are secret standards that they declare to be a secret organisation in another state interest.
(1) Those who have been entrusted with tasks under this law or are involved in any way in their implementation shall be obliged to remain silent about the serious facts which they have learned in the performance of their duties.
