Declaration of readiness of the facility for operation
A declaration of readiness for operation is an official document that certifies that construction work at the facility has been completed and the building complies with project documentation, building codes, and standards.
It is submitted to the relevant state authorities for commissioning.
When is a declaration of readiness for operation required?
The declaration is submitted in the following cases:
- Upon completion of construction of a new facility.
- After reconstruction, major repairs or technical re-equipment of existing buildings.
- In case of a change in the functional purpose of the building (for example, conversion of a non-residential building into a residential building).
The main stages of filing a declaration:
1. Preparation of documentation
To submit a declaration of readiness for operation, you must have a full package of documents confirming that the building meets all the necessary standards:
- Project documentation (construction, reconstruction or overhaul project).
- Technical passport of the facility (issued by the BTI or a certified engineer).
- Certificate of readiness of the facility for operation (drawn up based on the results of a technical inspection).
- Documents of ownership of the land and building.
2. Technical inspection of the facility
A technical inspector or certified specialist inspects the facility to confirm its compliance with the project documentation and building codes.
Based on the results of the inspection, a certificate of readiness is drawn up and attached to the declaration.
3. Submission of the declaration
- The applicant (the owner of the facility or the construction customer) submits a declaration of readiness for operation to the State
- Inspectorate of Architecture and Urban Development (SIAU) or the relevant local government body.
- The declaration can be submitted either electronically through the e-services portal or in person to the local authority.
4. Verification of the declaration
- The authorities receiving the declaration check the submitted documents for completeness and compliance with the requirements.
- If the declaration meets all the requirements and the documents are properly executed, it is considered registered.
5. Decision to put the facility into operation
After the declaration is registered, the facility is considered officially commissioned. The customer receives a corresponding document that allows him to use the facility for living or other activities.
Important points:
- The declaration is a mandatory step to complete the construction or reconstruction of any facility.
- Putting a facility into operation without a declaration or certificate of readiness is illegal.
- Violation of construction standards or submission of false information in the declaration may result in refusal to register it or its revocation after inspection.
