Chairman of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Technical Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kuanysh Yelikbayev at a briefing in the Central Communications Service told about the main results of state control of territorial departments for 10 months of this year.

According to the head of the committee, since the beginning of the year, territorial departments have conducted more than a thousand inspections. Of these, violations were detected in 865 cases.

"122 prescriptions were issued, 155 rulings were issued in the case of an administrative offense. The amount of administrative fines amounted to 140.6 million tenge, which is 77% more than in the whole of 2021," Kuanysh Yelikbayev said.

Also, 70 subjects of accreditation were checked, of which 39 subjects were found to have violations. For the violations committed, the validity of four accreditation certificates from several laboratories and certification bodies has been suspended for 6 months. They were also fined 2.4 million tenge. It should be noted that some of them have used the right and are challenging these decisions in court.

The departments also carried out preventive control without visiting 570 subjects of jewelry sales. Of these, violations were detected in 458 cases, which is 80%.

"That is, these sellers did not pass testing, analysis and branding, and sold jewelry without the stamp of Kazakhstan, the sample of which has not been confirmed in Kazakhstan," the chairman noted.

This year, according to the submission of the Transport Prosecutor's Office, by the decision of the heads of departments on the cancellation of the safety certificates of the vehicle design (SBCTS) in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the city of Almaty and Almaty region, 413 SBCTS were canceled and excluded from the Unified Register of Issued Type Approvals and vehicle certificates.

"The violation consisted in the discrepancy between the declared production years and engine volumes. The materials were transferred to the Committee of the Automobile Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan for calculating the difference in customs duties for taking measures against cars," Kuanysh Yelikbayev said.

Also, by order of the Committee, 57 illegally issued declarations of conformity and 63 certificates of conformity were canceled on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For example, 12 certificates for household appliances issued by the Kyrgyz certification body, whose activities in this part were suspended as a result of interaction with colleagues from Kyrgyzstan.

During the briefing, Kuanysh Yelikbayev noted that the work on the implementation of state control is carried out on an ongoing basis, with priority on ensuring the safety of products traded on the market. Including as part of the fight against gray certificates, to reduce "gray" imports.
