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).
