STANDARDIZATION AND CERTIFICATION OF PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS TO EU STANDARDS: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE UKRAINIAN MODEL

Introduction. The article examines the benefits that can be brought by the alignment of the Ukrainian standardization system with European norms, in particular regarding the safety, quality and competitiveness of products. The author also draws attention to the shortcomings associated with the adaptation of the Ukrainian model to EU standards, such as the cost of introducing new technologies and the need for personnel training. The study highlights possible ways to overcome these difficulties and recommendations for the optimal transition to the use of European standards by Ukrainian manufacturers of pressure transducers. The competitiveness of Ukrainian products of pressure transducers on the international market is studied. A comparison of the technical requirements and characteristics of Ukrainian and European standards for pressure transducers is made, which helps to determine the differences and similarities between them. The article is relevant for specialists in the field of standardization, certification and manufacturers of industrial equipment who are interested in harmonizing and improving the quality of their products in accordance with international standards. The purpose of the study is to deeply analyze and substantiate the advantages and disadvantages of the Ukrainian model of standardization and certification of pressure transducers in the context of the implementation of European Union standards. Materials and methods. The research materials are: 1) regulatory and legal support for the standardization of pressure transducers; 2) works of domestic and foreign authors conducting scientific and practical research in the field of metrology. In the process of carrying out the research, the following scientific methods were used: theoretical generalization and grouping; formalization, analysis and synthesis; logical generalization of the results. The results. The scientific article reveals the influence of the standardization process on the quality, safety and competitiveness of the production of pressure transducers in Ukraine. Technical requirements, comparison of standards, as well as determination of possible obstacles and benefits for Ukrainian manufacturers in the process of adaptation to European standards are investigated. Advantages of EU standards for pressure transducers are considered. Specific measures for the implementation of EU standards into Ukrainian legislation are proposed. Possible problems that Ukraine may face when implementing EU standards are emphasized. Prospects. In further scientific research, it is proposed to consider specific EU standards that have already been introduced in Ukraine and whether pressure transducers of the Ukrainian model really correspond to the European ones. This will make it possible to improve modern legislation, as well as bring Ukrainian products to a new market.
