On the development and implementation in the statistical practice new versions of Russia classifications

Abstract

The author describes the regulatory framework governing the development, maintenance and use of Russia classifications, structure and design features of the OKVED2 OKPD2 compared with current OKVED-2007 and OKPD-2007. Principles of harmonization of Russia (national) and international (regional) classifications are considered. Emphasis is placed on the fact that these new versions of classifications have undergone significant structural changes, which will require a large-scale work on recoding of virtually all of the available statistical information resources and recalculating retrospective time series of statistical indicators.
