The expert positively assessed the update of GOST standards for children's pools

It is important to comply with the microclimate and all related requirements of the supervisory sanitary authorities.

The new GOST will give the market the opportunity to establish these regulatory requirements, and the market will independently get rid of violators who worked haphazardly. Those who existed within the framework of reasonable practice will remain," the Izvestia interlocutor said.
