OKPD classifier: tasks, device, structure

Classifier OKPD is a systematized and coded catalog of products.

Development and modification

The development of this classifier was carried out by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade. The necessary changes and additions are made by the Federal Statistics Service. Since 2015, OKPD 2 has been operating.

Classifier Tasks

OKPD classifier

OKPD allows you to solve problems:

  • drawing up acts that regulate certain types of production;
  • application of coding and classification of products in state statistics;
  • when making public purchases, as well as municipal purchases, the classifier codes are used when processing documents for the purpose of filing an application;
  • when taxing legal entities;
  • in the implementation of procedures for confirming the conformity of goods;
  • in the implementation of standardization of products;
  • in compiling statistics that are necessary for the implementation of financial and economic activities in world markets.

OKPD device

Its structure is based on the statistical system of product codes in the European financial community. Classifier codes OKPD includes 6 characters. It is possible to use 7-9 codes. The names of services and goods are similar to those in transnational classifiers. This classifier is interconnected with OKVED, which is used for coding types of foreign economic activity.

Classifier structure

OKPD classifier

It reflects not only the manufactured products, but also the work performed and the services provided. Hierarchical classification and sequential coding are applied. The first two characters include the Latin alphabet designating sections and subsections. The code of goods, works and services includes from 2 to 6 characters, as is customary in the European classifiers.

All-Russian classifier OKPD

The All-Russian classifier of OKPD here includes classes and subclasses, groups and subgroups. In addition, signs are allocated to take into account the characteristics of the Russian economy. The codes from the HS are used here. If you do not use detail at the Russian level, these three steps indicate 0. These signs are used to classify products into types, categories and subcategories. After each two characters in the classifier code, a dividing dot is placed.

Who needs to use the classifier

It is mainly used by business entities operating on the territory of our country. Classifier OKPD allows information support in the implementation of public procurement and contracts, the organization of taxation of economic entities for their better functioning, bringing to the attention of foreign partners about the products.

In addition, its application allows coordination of the activities of trading houses and exchanges using international electronic systems. This classifier provides Russian products with access to interstate markets and provides an opportunity to expand the information database.

Finally

The OKPD classifier provides coding and classification of products, including goods, works and services. It is used mainly for statistical purposes and to ensure the output of products on international markets. Harmonized with the European CPA Classifier 2002.
