With the abolition of mandatory state licensing of various types of activities related to the security of facilities, the health of individuals and environmental applications, the responsibility for monitoring the work of specialized companies has shifted to self-regulatory organizations (SROs).
Companies are required to join a SRO and obtain from it a certificate of approval to perform work.
The approval decision is issued by a special committee that carefully studies the applicant’s proposed operations as the basic principle of self-regulatory organizations is collegial responsibility of all participants for the operation of each participant. To avoid rejection and obtain timely approval, it is critical for the applicant to submit competently prepared documents. The most common reason for denial of an application is incorrect or insufficient documentation.
WatersOAG provides professional assistance in obtaining SRO approval at all stages of the process, from choosing which self-regulatory organization to join through receipt of approval. Our firm offers a full range of services relating to the SRO as well as registration of its approval in order to carry out activities in the fields of construction, project design, surveying and other operations, a list of which has been developed by Decree of the Ministry for Regional Development.
