New requirements have been established for quality control of items used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Technical inspections and testing of product samples will be conducted using modern methods that comply with international standards.

The new standard for quality control of military supplies, developed by the Ministry of Defense’s Central Quality Control Directorate, came into effect this month.

The document was created in response to the military's request, as the quality demands for military supplies have increased significantly during the war, and technological advances in the production of materials and protective equipment have accelerated.

The Ministry of Defense is working to improve the quality control of all products for our military. This modern standard will help suppliers better understand their rights and responsibilities.

It specifies the quality control process at all stages of supply: incoming inspection of raw materials and components, testing of sample products, and acceptance quality control of finished goods.

The military standard VST 415.002:2024(01) “Supplies. Quality Control System for Nomenclature Supplies. Quality Control Guidelines” is available on the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine website.
