MODIFICATION OF THE AKERLOF MODEL FOR CONFORMITY CERTIFICATE MARKET

Abstract. This article proposes a modification of the classic Market for Lemons model developed in the 1970s by Nobel laureate, economist G. Akerlof. It demonstrates that the presence of unscrupulous certification bodies leads to washing out of reputable ones honestly performing their functions. Under these conditions the state’s task is to strengthen regulation of the certification services market through appropriate measures.

Keywords: market for lemons, certification services, information asymmetry, social risks, market regulation.

TESTING LABORATORY CERTIFICATION

Abstract. The article discusses the certification process for testing laboratories in Russia. It describes the certification process in detail and provides a list of the required documents. Particular attention is paid to the standards and regulations that, when followed, allow laboratories to be officially recognized as legal. It is demonstrated why certified laboratories are important for verifying product quality and ensuring compliance with technical standards.

Keywords: testing laboratory, certification, personnel qualifications, quality system, accreditation, certification, regulatory documents.

USING A RISK-BASED APPROACH TO ENSURE MEASUREMENT RELIABILITY

Abstract. To improve the reliability and validity of testing, GOST ISO/IEC 17025-2019 requires the implementation of a laboratory management system with risk-based approach. Risk encompasses both the probability of an event occurring and its consequences. A modern laboratory must continuously assess risks, identify threats to the quality of testing results, and develop measures to address and control them.

Keywords: testing laboratory, uncertainty management, risk-based approach, measurement reliability.

CALCULATING POLLUTANT EMISSIONS FROM ASSOCIATED PETROLEUM GAS FLARING

Abstract. This article presents a critical analysis of current methods for calculating pollutant emissions from associated petroleum gas flaring. Their limitations, related to changes in flare design, are discussed, and the need for a new approach is substantiated. Principles for developing an improved emissions calculation algorithm based on physical and chemical patterns and taking into account modern combustion technologies are proposed.

Keywords: flaring, associated petroleum gas, pollutant emissions, soot, emission calculation method.

TECHNICAL REGULATION AND COMPULSORY CERTIFICATION OF HARDWARE AS TOOLS FOR IMPROVING THE OPERATIONAL DEPENDABILITY OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES

Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis of risks associated with the use of old fasteners in the repair of railway infrastructure. This practice is becoming widespread in the Russian Federation, which poses a threat to transportation safety. The authors argue for the need to completely ban the reuse of such hardware products. The main alternative is the introduction of standardized hardware with guaranteed quality.

Keywords: hardware products, old fastener, compulsory certification, safety, reduction of operational risks, Chestny Znak.
