The Republic of Kazakhstan is introducing a unified nomenclature classification for medical devices—a key step toward transparent and modern regulation of the industry.
The project is being implemented with the participation of the National Center for Expertise in Medicine and the Ministry of Defense, where a specialized division, the Department of Nomenclature Classification of Medical Devices, was created this year.
The new structure has already begun practical work and the implementation of international approaches.
The Center's staff underwent specialized training at the National Institute of Quality of Roszdravnadzor (Moscow), where they studied modern practices for systematizing medical devices, maintaining national reference books, and integrating classifiers into state systems.
Particular attention is being paid to synchronization with the international GMDN system and EAEU requirements. This will ensure data comparability, improve regulatory efficiency, and simplify interactions with international partners.
The introduction of a unified classification is aimed at the unambiguous identification of medical devices, increasing the transparency of public procurement, reducing the risks of unregulated circulation, and harmonizing with international standards.
The results of the implementation of the specified practices (interaction with the international GMDN/EAEU system, maintaining a national directory of medical devices and the formation of a classifier of goods, works and services (KTRU) will allow for the high-quality use and development of the national nomenclature classification model to solve these problems.
The acquired competencies have already begun to be applied in the work of the new department, forming the basis for systemic changes in the industry.
