Abstract: Abstract The paper deals with the legal means of ensuring products quality. The analysis of the conceptual and categorical framework of means to ensure product quality has been performed. Consequently, insufficiently accurate specification of the analyzed legal categories characteristics has been established, and additional characteristics have been proposed. The imposition of mandatory standardization aims to improve product quality safety. At the same time, it reduces innovation activity and economic productivity, caused by a longer period of goods turnover. A similar disadvantage is common to the licenses. However, ensuring the quality of goods is not the main task of the licensing institution, while the latter performs a largely preventive function of reacting to violations of the work (“service delivery”) technology, including the implementation of control measures. Considering the imperative character of the phenomena under discussion, it is established that balanced government participation, based on restrictions, in the relations occurring about standardization, certification, and licensing is possible. This will allow keeping control, as well as ensure the actions freedom of entrepreneurial activity subjects. The interrelation between the considered legal means is established. It characterizes the unity of their purpose. The paper concludes that the legal regulation necessity of additional regulation principles for the arising legal relations, representing a unified system that can strictly ensure product quality within the standardization framework. Considering the method of data analysis, it is proved that the tendency of product quality relations is based on self-regulation. The interrelation between civil-legal and administrative-legal regulations of quality assurance means is proved. Considering the objective necessity of product input in trade turnover, the preference is given to the first of them.
