In the conditions of the modern Russian market economy, in order to streamline the accounting and statistics of the state, as well as for the possibility of communication between consumers and manufacturers in a single language, a systematized classifier was introduced, which includes groupings of types of products and services - OKPD.
The national classifier of products in accordance with certain types of activity is one of the constituent parts of a unified classification system designed to encode the statistical and economic information of the state. OKPD-OK-034-2014 was developed and adopted from 01.02.14, cancels the previous classifiers since 2015, and includes the following codes: OKPD-OK-004-93, OKPD-OK-034-2007, OKUN-OK-002-93, OKP-005-93.
An entity who has made a decision to engage in entrepreneurship is initially determined with the types of activities and corresponding codes according to the current OKPD. To do this, you need to go to the official website of the all-Russian classifiers classifikators.ru, which displays the correct information with all legislative changes.
OKPD is used in the work and accounting of the activities of departments, enterprises and organizations that operate at the microeconomic level, regardless of the form of ownership. The classifier provides an opportunity to solve many urgent problems. This is the implementation of clear accounting by type of activity for displaying statistical data and tax accounting, providing a "horizontal connection" between the consumer and the manufacturer, coding a domestic product for the possibility of its subsequent re-coding according to international standards. The use of OKPD codes also allows you to send work requests and receive information through international networks, which greatly simplifies the process of interaction in macroeconomic relations.
