🇬🇧 English

This regulation introduces stricter rules for building contractors in Turkey by prohibiting the use of work experience certificates obtained through improper means under Article 20(a), (b), or (c) when applying for contractor classification certificates. It also expands the grounds for revoking or denying contractor licenses to include situations where the applicant knew or should have known they did not meet the requirements at the time of application. Several transitional provisions have been extended from 31/12/2025 to 31/12/2026. Additionally, certain cooperative entities registered in the trade registry by 30/6/2026 are temporarily exempt from a specific requirement in Article 14.
