Abstract: 

An analysis of the laws and regulations of the technical regulation and product safety systems of the European Union, the United States and a number of international organizations suggests international legislative recognition of life and health risk assessment methodology as a key tool for justifying product safety standards. Legislation from the Customs Union on product risk assessment requires development and improvement, internal harmonization and ensuring conformation with the provisions of international documentation. The improvement of laws and regulations will stimulate the development of all aspects of the scientific and methodological and organizational support for product risk assessment, i.e. the development and implementation of risk assessment methodologies, the development of a system of criteria for a risk of health disorders of various severity, the improvement of methods for product conformity assessment and of the risk monitoring system for products placed on the market.
