History and main definitions

RTN Permit is the principal regulatory document that certifies safe operation of equipment on hazardous industrial sites.
 
The legal, economic and social basis for insurance of safe operation of hazardous industrial sites is identified in the Federal Law N°116-FZ issued on July 21, 1997. The Expertise of industrial safety is evoked as a compulsory measure in the safety insurance system of these sites. Federal Mine and Industrial Inspection supervised industrial safety in accordance with the Governmental Decree N°1540 issued on December 25, 1998, until 2004. The supervising role was taken over by the Federal Service of Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision (RosTechNadzor or RTN) created according to the Presidential Decree N°314 issued on March 09, 2004 (taken into account the changes announced in the Decree N°649 issued on May 20, 2004).

Currently issuing the RTN Permits to use of technical devices on hazardous industrial sites is regulated by the Decree RTN N°112 issued on February 29, 2008.
