About the All-Russian classifier of products by type economic activity, which was put into effect on 01/01/2017 by Order of Rosstandart dated 01/31/2014 No. 14-st, we told in. We noted that this classifier has replaced the All-Russian Product Classifier (OKP) (approved by Gosstandart Decree No. 301 of December 30, 1993). We will talk about the correspondence between OKP and OKPD 2 codes in this material.
For direct and reverse translation of codes from two classifiers and establishing compliance with OKPD and OKPD 2, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has developed special transition keys. These keys are posted on the official website of the Ministry of Economic Development in a special section. Thus, you can check the compliance of OKPD and OKPD 2 online at the specified link.
Here is information on the compliance of OKPD and OKPD2 codes for some types of goods:
| OKP | OKPD-2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Class | class name | class, subclass | Name of class, subclass |
| 02 | Oil, oil products, alternative fuels. Gas | 06 | Crude oil and natural gas |
| 40 | Computer Engineering | 26.2 | Computers and Peripherals |
| 56 | Furniture | 31 | Furniture |
| 91 | Food industry products | 10 | Food products |
| 94 | Medical equipment | 32.5 | Medical instruments and equipment |
| 97 | Crop production of agriculture and forestry | 01 | Products and services Agriculture and hunting |
| 98 | Livestock products | 01.4 | Live animals and products of animal origin |
Let's show the correspondence for OKPD and OKPD 2 codes by presenting direct and reverse transition keys for both classifiers.
The table of correspondence between OKPD and OKPD2 codes in Excel format can be downloaded.
You can download the reverse table of correspondence between OKPD2 and OKP.
We remind you that the objects of classification in OKPD2 are not only products, but also works and services.
The classification of services was carried out earlier on the basis of the All-Russian classifier of services to the population (OKUN) (
The All-Russian classifier of products by type of economic activity (OKPD 2) is part of national system standardization Russian Federation. The classifier OK 034-2014 CPE 2008 is a tree structure of OKPD2 codes for products built according to a hierarchical principle. The OKPD2 classifier is used to solve cataloging problems in the certification of homogeneous product groups built on the basis of OKPD2 code groupings. Each OKPD2 code contains 2-9 digits of the form XX.XX.XX.XXX Classifier OK 034-2014 has an eight-stage hierarchical classification. The first stage of the OKPD2 code consists of sections of the CPA 2008 classifier having a letter designation (A, B, etc.), then there are classes of the OKPD 2 XX classifier, then subclasses XX.X, groups XX.XX, subgroups of the OKPD code XX.XX.X , species XX.XX.XX, categories XX.XX.XX.XX0 and finally subcategories XX.XX.XX.XXX Correspondence of code designations OKPD 2 and CPA 2008 between the second and third, fourth and fifth characters of the OKPD 2 code is provided by a separator - a dot. Additional levels of OKPD 2 compared to CPA 2008 are separated by a dot between the sixth and seventh characters of the OKPD code. In cases where there is no division of the view into categories, 7-9 characters of the OKPD 2 code have a zero value.You should not expect that the first problem that a person who has decided or an IP will face will be the need to understand the complex system of state classifiers, codes and abbreviations. However, over time, when they are issued source documents and the head of the newly created firm will be able to gradually begin to win living space in the market, you will have to delve into the intricacies of domestic and European classification and deciphering incomprehensible terms - or you will need to use the appropriate reference books that make life much easier for the merchant.
One of the most commonly used codes in the Russian Federation is OKPD 2; it is indispensable in the implementation of almost all types of activities. How the abbreviation stands for and where you can download a complete reference to OKPD 2 codes - in the following brief explanation.
You should start by deciphering the term. OKPD 2 is, according to official data, the All-Russian (O) classifier (K) of products (P) by type of economic activity (D). As you can see, when creating the abbreviation, not all the words involved in the full name were used, which creates a little confusion with another commonly used code - OKVED, the All-Russian (O) classifier (K) of types (C) economic (E) activities (D). Nevertheless, there is a difference between the codes, and a very significant one.
New system OKPD 2, which replaced the previous OKP and OKPD, was approved in 2014 by Rosstat Order No. 14; at the same time, the structure of the document itself was developed by the Ministry of economic development Russian Federation.
Important: in official documents (in particular, in the recently mentioned order), classifiers have other names that are difficult to remember: OK005 93 (OKP codes), OK034 2007 (OKPD system) and OK034 2014 (OKPD 2 proper, finally brought into line with the European CPA 2008 classification). It is easy to guess that the digital designations after the abbreviations are the years of development or approval of code systems.
Like its direct predecessor, OKPD, which is still in use today, OKPD 2 is part of the Unified System for Classifying and Coding Technical, Economic and social information, which allows not only to quickly find, but also use a unified automated approach to processing information received by Rosstat about the production of products and the provision of services.
Although the mentioned department formally identifies four main areas of application of the classifier (economic, accounting, statistical and standardization), in practice the codes are simply called statistical, since entrepreneurs know even less about the use of OKPD 2 for other purposes than about the main one.
In fact, the All-Russian Product Classifier in its second edition is a large reference book (you can download it on the Internet both in parts and in one document, usually designed to work in MS Word), navigating through which or using the built-in search function, a businessman, only only those who have completed or already have sufficient experience in commercial activities can independently find “their” code and check the correctness of its assignment by the registration authority. True, it will not work to check the counterparty according to the OKPD 2 list: the maximum information that an entrepreneur can receive is the type of economic activity of a potential business partner.
Important: although the OKPD 2 code system was developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, changes are made to it only in agreement with the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat). Currently, there are about twenty corrections made, so it makes special sense for an individual entrepreneur or head of a commercial structure to check the current classification from time to time.
The information contained in the All-Russian Classification of Products OKPD 2 is especially often used in the following cases:
Important: despite statistical and representative significance, in Everyday life entrepreneur codes according to the All-Russian classifier of products OKPD 2 are used relatively rarely. Much more often there is a need or to check it on the basis of the Federal Service bailiffs than to make sure that the type of activity of the business partner, already known to the second party by default, corresponds to the code assigned to it. Therefore, when concluding cooperation agreements, the stage of reconciliation of OKPD 2 codes can be skipped, concentrating on more important details of commercial activities.
As already mentioned, the All-Russian Classification of Products, Works and Services OKPD 2, developed and approved in the Russian Federation, has been brought into line with the European classification CPEC 2008 (Statistical classification of products by type of activity in the European Economic Community - CPEC, or CPA 2008).
In most cases, the Russian developer, the Ministry of Economic Development, left the two-six-digit CPA 2008 codes unchanged in order to maximize compliance, however, sometimes, taking into account the development and functioning of domestic economy, "extended" seven-, eight- and nine-digit codes are added to the OKPD 2 classifier. The Russian Federation is no exception in this matter: a similar practice is common in a number of EU countries, as well as states that are applicants for joining it.
As you can see, OKPD 2 contains a huge amount of information that completely excludes the possibility of a simple sequential classification. On the other hand, a too complex breakdown into subcategories would lead to new problems and inevitable confusion, threatening not only economic but also reputational losses. Therefore, when developing the classification, it was decided, as before, to use both methods: both sequential and hierarchical. Types of manufactured products or services are listed sequentially, and subspecies (subcategories) - in a "deepening", hierarchical order.
Classifier structure in general view comprises:
As you can see, the number of digits in OKPD 2 of an organization can range from two to six (within the CPA) or up to nine (taking into account the specifics of the domestic economy).
Important: to maintain the correspondence of the codes used according to the OKPD 2 and CPA 2008 classifiers, as well as to improve perception, a dot separates:
- second and third characters of the code;
- fourth and fifth characters of the classifier;
- in the Russian version - the sixth and seventh characters (the ninth, if any, is written together with the seventh and eighth).
In addition, it is currently accepted in codes that comply with European standards (that is, including no more than six characters), to use all nine digits, replacing the last three with zeros. If the product or service has Russian specifics, the final three characters (or only the seventh and eighth) differ from zero.
An example of product classification using OKPD 2:
In order to prevent possible misunderstandings, the developer of OKPD 2 provided explanations for categories and subcategories included in the title, which serve to:
For “European” (up to six characters) codes, explanations for classes, subclasses, and so on in descending order of goods and services usually correspond to those adopted in the European Union and are not given in the directory (or are given in part) or, if there are significant discrepancies, are included directly in the classification.
Important: in accordance with the logical principle of constructing hierarchical lists, a comment related to a more “general” group fully applies to its subgroups. Therefore, when trying to independently find your code according to the All-Russian Classifier, an entrepreneur must take into account the notes related to the "superior" categories.
For example, in domestic practice, instead of the European standardCPA 2008 are used:
When using unified codes, they are not used, however, the most common, letter designations of sections of the classifier are included in all online and offline directories. They have no practical significance and rather serve to understand the very structure of the system:
Advice: although in official order, letter designations are not used when using OKPD 2 codes, since they represent unnecessary information, it is recommended that an individual entrepreneur or the owner of a legal entity, mentioning the code in the text of the document, add the appropriate name in brackets after it - this will allow the counterparty to quickly check the given data on reference book.
Total in history modern Russia three options for classifying products by type of economic activity were consistently used:
Important: in accordance with the Order of the Federal State Statistics Service No. 14 of 2014 individual entrepreneurs and owners of large commercial structures need to use in their work (starting from 2015) only codes according to the All-Russian OKPD 2 classifier. Nevertheless, sometimes, to facilitate perception, it makes sense to cite old codes in documents - if, of course, the company was registered before 2015. Otherwise, OKPD or OKP simply could not be assigned to it, and therefore the merchant will have nothing to choose from.
It also makes sense, when drawing up an act or an agreement, if there are several codes, each time indicate in brackets after them the affiliation: OKP, OKPD or OKPD 2. Although, by decision of the legislator, the first two classifiers have already been withdrawn from circulation, there is no punishment for the fact that they (of course , together with the new code) will be given in the document, not provided.
The OKPD 2 code is used for unambiguous classification and identification of goods, works or services offered by the manufacturer. Code structure - sequential-hierarchical, using something not mentioned in the document letter designation sections and six to nine digit unique digital sequences. Check numbers at the end of the code are not currently used.
You can find any code according to the All-Russian Classifier of Products in accordance with economic activity (this is how the abbreviation OKPD 2 stands for) using the online directory or a document for MS Word, which can be downloaded from the link above. Currently, in accordance with the Order of Rosstat of 2014, only OKPD codes 2: OKP and OKPD are gone.
The structure of the OKPD is harmonized in accordance with the Statistical Classification by Type of Activity (CPA 2002) used in European countries. The Russian classifier retains six-digit codes and volumes of naming concepts taken from a foreign counterpart. Also, the compilers of the classifier took into account the special needs national economy Russia, and for better detailing of products, it was possible to use codes with 7-9 digits of alphanumeric combinations.In OKPD, produced goods and services are classified by type of economic activity. The list of presented positions has a hierarchical structure. Each type of activity is indicated by a special code consisting of 2-9 groups of symbolic combinations. Having conditionally designated each character with the symbol "Z", the composition of the code can be represented by the following formula;
ZZ - class of service or product;
ZZ.Z - subclass;
ZZ.ZZ – group;
ZZ.ZZ.Z – subgroup;
ZZ.ZZ.ZZ – view;
ZZ.ZZ.ZZ.ZZ0 – category;
ZZ.ZZ.ZZ.ZZZ is a subcategory.
The seventh, eighth and ninth digits are indicated by the number "0" in cases where product detailing at the national level is not carried out. The detailing of the last characters of the code is performed only on the condition that services or goods of the same type can be divided into several categories or subcategories. For example, tropical nuts are indicated by the code 01.13.21.130, and the code 01.13.21.131 - coconuts as a subcategory of tropical, 01.13.21.132 - Brazil nuts, 01.13.21.133 - cashew nuts.
Explanations may be provided for individual groups to clarify information.
