Recalls that the early determination and application of advanced technical values and requirements for the subjects of cooperation are of utmost importance,
Having regard to the fact that, within the framework of the RVHP, great experience has already been gained on the development and application of normative technical documents for standardisation,
to increase the role of such documents in the cooperation of States,

agree on the following:
1. States - Parties to the Convention shall ensure the binding and direct (immediate) application of the RVHP standards, drawn up and approved by the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance in accordance with the procedure laid down therein, in contractual legal relations in economic and scientific and technological cooperation between States in order to enhance the effectiveness of cooperation by means of standardisation, as well as the application of the RVHP standards in the national economy, with a view to further developing technical progress in each of these States.
2. The binding and direct (immediate) application of the RVHP standard in contractual legal relations in economic and scientific and technological cooperation between States - participants in the Convention referred to in point 1 of this Article shall mean the binding application of the RVHP standard to the subject matter of cooperation, by reference to the RVHP standard in documents determining contractual legal relations (agreements, contracts, contracts).
3. Contractual legal relations are those arising from the process of implementing multilateral and bilateral economic and scientific and technical cooperation between Member States - participants in the Convention and their economic organisations under agreements, contracts, contracts for specialisation and co-operation of production, supplies and trade between Member States of the FMC, scientific research and experimental work, supply, construction, assembly, transport and other relevant relations arising from the cooperation process.
4. The competent national authorities and the economic organisations of States - participants in the Convention apply the RVHP standards in the preparation, conclusion and implementation of agreements, contracts and contracts under the RVHP on specialisation, cooperation, reciprocal supply and trade between States - participants in the Convention, as well as other forms of cooperation; they comply with all RVHP standards and standards.

The content of deviations from the values and requirements of the RVHP standards shall be stated in contracts, agreements and contracts.
6. The application of the RVHP standard to the national economy of the States - participants in the Convention, as referred to in point 1 of this Article, shall mean either the immediate application of the RVHP as a national standard without modification or its introduction into national standards under conditions of ensuring full compliance of national standards indicators with the RVHP standards.
In so doing, States - participants in the Convention are entitled to set in national standards higher product quality indicators than those of RVHP standards, while maintaining the requirements of interchangeability and technical compatibility.
National standards drawn up on the basis of the RVHP standard shall have a label indicating compliance with the RVHP standard.
