FEATURES OF FORENSIC COMMODITY EXAMINATION OF SCHOOL FURNITURE

MESSAGE 3 SEPARATE METHODOLOGY OF FORENSIC COMMODITY EXAMINATION: RESEARCH OF THE CONFORMITY OF FURNITURE FOR THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF STANDARDTS

Abstract

As a general result of the cycle of publications, a separate methodology for determining compliance
with the requirements of regulatory documents of the most common types of furniture in the practice of forensic
commodity examination for the New Ukrainian school has been formed. The reliability of the obtained results and
conclusions of the study is ensured by using a complex of general methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis,
induction and deduction, analogy and modeling, abstraction and concretization, system analysis, thought
experiment, idealization, formalization, generalization, convergence, comparison). The scientific novelty of the study
lies in the fact that for the first time in domestic forensic commodity examination: numerical values of indicators
of consumer properties of furniture for the New Ukrainian school have been established, which are included in the
relevant state standards and can be determined organoleptically and through measurements; аn example is given of
a study by a forensic expert-commodity specialist on the compliance of the consumer properties of furniture for the
New Ukrainian school with the requirements of state standards, which will help to ensure the maximum possible
degree of completeness and objectivity of the expert study, as well as to solve the urgent task of establishing the
compliance of furniture actually available in educational institutions with the standardized requirements for it. In
addition, it has been found that scientifically based requirements for furniture for educational institutions, enshrined
in regulatory and legal documents, lay the foundation for the effectiveness of educational activities, which is closely 
linked to the level of comfort of learning conditions and the harmony of the subject environment. It has been proven
that all furniture for the New Ukrainian school inspected in individual educational institutions does not meet the
basic requirements for functional properties set out in the state standards of Ukraine for the specified products. It
has been established that, according to the requirements of DSTU 3993-2000, the established non-compliance is
considered a significant defect that prevents the furniture products provided for testing from performing their main
functions for their intended purpose as defined in the regulatory documents (GOST 11015-93, GOST 11016-93,
DSTU GOST 16371:2016, DSTU GOST 22046:2004, Requirements for school furniture for the New Ukrainian school,
Methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine on the organization of the
educational space of the New Ukrainian school).
