While Russia is putting so many efforts to integrate into the global market, domestic enterprises wishing to expand their markets and to do business with international partners, face the problem of standards harmonization more and more often.

That is why harmonization of standards plays an important role in the development of international industrial cooperation and joint resolution to improve quality assurance. Based on the above considerations, the problem of standards harmonization remains vital and important. This article provides the results of comparative analysis of RF standards in a certain sector of industry based on GOST classifier, and demonstrates evolution of development and harmonization of standards in modern economic environment. Dynamics of harmonization of the Russian Federation NationalStandards is also revealed. The authors also introduce the criterion to measure the level of standards harmonization.
