The first documents on standardization and technical regulation in construction, published in Russia, which were the decrees of Peter I on the construction of standard houses, are indicated. The “Building regulation for construction works” approved by the Russian government in 1869 is also mentioned. Further the history of development of standardization and technical regulation is revealed already in the modern history, in the Soviet era, at first by adaptation of norms of Tsar Russia, and then by development of new system of standardization and technical regulation.
