КВАЛИМЕТРИЧЕСКОЕ ПРАВО КАК ПОДОТРАСЛЬ КОНДИЦИОННОГО ПРАВА (НА МАТЕРИАЛАХ РЕСПУБЛИКИ БЕЛАРУСЬ)

Abstract

Introduction: qualimetry is a science of measurement and quantitative assessment of the quality of various things and processes, objects of the material and ideal world. Many sciences (natural, technical, humanities) use the term ‘quality’ and therefore effectively interact with qualimetry. Quality and methodology for measuring quality are also legal institutions. The legislation of the Republic of Belarus contains a whole range of legal norms (including norms of technical nature and standards) that regulate the qualimetry of various processes and social relations. The national qualimetric system has been formed, while the doctrinal institutionalization of qualimetric law has not yet taken place, which is explained by the lack of a doctrinal understanding of the nature and essence of qualimetric legal relations and qualimetric regulation, associated with the lack of a proper conceptual and categorical apparatus. Purpose: to substantiate the need for the institutionalization of qualimetric law as a sub-branch of conditional law in order to solve a large-scale scientific problem – the creation of an effective methodology for legal regulation of economic legal relations. Approach: since qualimetry is a specific field of scientific knowledge, a unique interdisciplinary structure in which natural science and humanities knowledge are inextricably integrated, the study was carried out based on the principle of interdisciplinarity as an idea, methodology, and mechanism that makes it possible to discover complex backbone links between related fields of expertise. Results: the paper shows qualimetry to be a complex field of scientific knowledge, a symbiosis of natural sciences and the humanities, and clarifies its subject matter. It is substantiated that qualimetric legal relations are a type of conditioned legal relations that develop with regard to qualimetric regulation; their essential features are identified, and a classification of qualimetric legal relations is provided. It is argued that qualimetric law is a subbranch of conditional law, its subject and system are defined. The expected positive effect that will result from the institutionalization of qualimetric law is predicted.
