• 
  classification of buildings by categories of importance is made according to their complexity, destination, safety risk as well as according to economic considerations.
  

All the above mentioned obligations fall to the parties involved in the design, the execution and the utilization of buildings, as well as in the further use thereof, in keeping with their specific responsibilities. Such parties include: investors, researchers, designers, design evaluators, manufacturers and providers of construction products, constructors, owners, users, technical experts in charge of construction, other technical experts as well aspublic authorities and professional associations in the field.

2.4.3Order of Minister of Health no. 1030/2009 regarding the approval of the procedures for sanitary regulation for projects for placement, development, building and functioning of objectives which run activities with risk for population health

This Order defines the sanitary approval and the sanitary authorization, which must be obtained from the authority in charge. The Ministerial Order makes a distinction between the “sanitary approval” which is the process of sanitary analysis and investigation, a condition that must be met, both from a technical and from a legal point of view, before facilities of interest to the public can be commissioned and operate, a process that checks their compliance with the hygiene and public health rules and the “sanitary permit” which is a legal and technical document issued in written form by the authority in charge.
The necessary documentation required for requesting the sanitary permit includes: the request, the general plan of the position (location, access to the transport network, access to energy network, utilities and land characteristics), the internal configuration plan (functional circuits, their structure, the access to drinkable water network, the waste water collection and disposal system, the solid waste management system, the system for temporary storage and treatment/disposal of any hazardous waste) and proof of payment of the necessary taxes. If required by law, the Environment Impact Assessment will be requested at this stage by the health authority in charge.
