Abstract

The category of “quality” is multifaceted, has social, technical, economic legal and other aspects. In the framework of this work, the category of “quality” is considered in relation to the product and only from the standpoint of civil law. Issues of product quality are always relevant, since low-quality goods can not only and not so much infringe on the interests of the person purchasing and / or using the goods, but also the interests of third parties and even the state. Poor-quality goods may be unsafe, pose a threat to the life and health of people, their property. Based on the data of philosophical and economic sciences, the authors analyze the components of the concept of “quality of goods”. The authors conclude that, from the point of view of civil law, these include the name of the product, its usefulness for a particular consumer, the ability of the product to be consumed, the presence of the product's consumer properties / readiness of the product for circulation. These components are also considered from the standpoint of objective and subjective qualities.
