This article focuses on technical regulations as a tool to ensure personal safety. The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation noted that improving the quality of life of Russian citizens is guaranteed by ensuring personal safety and the availability of comfortable accommodation, high quality and safe products and services. Personal security of citizens is related to economic security and food security is one of the security concerns for the individual. The authors believe that monitoring the quality and safety of food raw materials and food products should be considered in relation to the problem of food security in Russia, both from the standpoint of maintaining a stable food supply appropriate to the size of the population and the consumption of food products that correspond to science-based medical standards and physiological needs of the population in the nutrients and energy, and also from the standpoint of ensuring quality products. Research showed that there were significant shifts in the structure of food consumption, and in their quality, there was a risk of food contamination with various toxicants chemical and biological nature, a danger of uncontrolled proliferation of food products derived from genetically modified plants, with genetically modified organisms and with microorganisms which have genetically modified counterparts. The authors believe that a basis for quality assurance and product safety should be a coherent system of normative and technical documentation. The main objective of the development, adoption and enforcement of technical regulations is to establish the purpose of compliance with safety requirements of products and production processes, use, storage, transportation, marketing and utilization. According to the authors, monitoring legislation in the sphere of security products reveals an absence of integrity and consistency and Russia still has a long way to go to form its own system of technical regulation.
