In the Russian Federation, Best Available Techniques (BAT) are identified and Reference Documents (BREF) are developed within the standardization process. Technical Committee TC 113 was established in 2014. At the initial stage, TC 113 supported development of a number of national standards which made a methodological basis for the future drawing up of the Russian Reference Documents on Best Available Techniques (BREFs). Since its establishment, TC 113 has been assuring that Technical Working Groups draw up and review BREFs and national BAT-related standards in accordance with the standardization requirements.

In 2015–2017, 51 BREFs were drawn up for major sectors of economy such as metallurgy, mining, energy generation, hydrocarbon exploration and extraction, chemical and construction materials industry, etc. Since 2018, TC 113 has been co- ordinating development of the national standards which have to support Russian industries implementing BATs, improving environmental self-monitoring practices, preparing environmental performance enhancement programmes and applying for integrated environmental permits. Thereby a principally new system of national standards in the field of Best Available Techniques is being formed to support achievement of the strategic national development objectives and implementation of the national project The Environment in which BATs and technical regulation in the field of resource and energy efficiency form an integral and important part.
