The work of the CIS STAT on the harmonization of the statistical
classifications with international counterparts
CIS STAT and National Statistical Offices of the Commonwealth
countries using in their activities classifications taking into account
developments by UN, Eurostat, ILO and other international
organizations, as well as new classifications or new versions of the
existing classifications.
To help National Statistical Offices of the Commonwealth countries, in
1995-2000 CIS STAT developed model classifications of Economic
Activities (GCEA) and products (SCP) according to the international
examples. The goal was to create in the CIS countries national
classifications harmonized not only with their international
counterparts but also comparable between themselves, as having the
same base.

The work of the CIS STAT on the harmonization of the statistical
classifications with international counterparts
Stages in developing model statistical classification of economic
activities (GCEA)
1. GCEA-1 and explanations (on the basis of UN classification– ISIC (rev.3)
– year 1995;
2. GCEA-2 and explanations(on the basis of EU classification– NACE
(rev.1) – year 1996;
3. GCEA-3 and explanations (on the basis of EU classification- NACE
(rev.2) – year 2008
All versions of GCEA are harmonized with the international
counterparts (ISIC or NACE) at the 4 digit level and only differ in the
additional 5 digit level, which takes into account national aspects
(according to the national classifications if necessary the code was
extended to the 6 and 7 digit level).
These versions were recommended to the National Statistical Offices
as model statistical classification for the development of their national
classification of economic activities.

The work of the CIS STAT on the harmonization of the statistical
classifications with international counterparts
Stages in developing model statistical classification of products
(products and services) (SKP):
1. SKP-1 and explanations (on the basis of EU classification– CPA (rev.
1998), PRODCOM (rev. 1999) and TN FEA CIS (rev. 1996) – year
2000;
2. SKP-2 and explanations (on the basis of EU classification– CPA (rev.
2008), PRODCOM (rev. 2009) – year 2011.
Both versions of SKP are harmonized with the CPA at the 6 digit level and
with PRODCOM at the 8 digit level. To reflect national aspects in SKP used
9 digit level( in national classifications if necessary the code is extended to
the 10 – 12 digit level).
These versions were recommended to the National Statistical Offices as
model statistical classification for the development of their national
classification of products.
Model classifications GCEA and SKP could be found at the CIS
STAT website: http://www.cisstat.org «Methodology» section, under
«Classifications for the CIS countries».

National classification systems
National classification systems of the CIS countries include:
National classifications (classifications that have a status of the state standard), that
are created and maintained by the national statistical office , and by sectoral
ministries and departments;
Classifications used in statistical registers of the national statistical offices
(classifications of types of enterprises, type of activity, administration, ownership,
legal forms, civil divisions, countries, currencies, products, etc.)
5
Classification of economic activity
First step in the creating of the national classification of economic activity
by the CIS member states – choice between classifications:
Developed by the UN Statistical Division (ISIC and СРС);
European classifications (NACE and СРА).
Given the fact that in the EU classifications the industrial origin of products is
fully comparable to the codes of activity and products at 4 digit level, the
preference was given to EU classifications.

Problems in development and implementation of the
classifications
Problems encountered during the development and implementation of international
classifications in the national statistical practice of the CIS member states:
Methodology: development of conversion keys from already existing to newly introduced
classifications; capturing collective activities (space exploration, investment processes,
innovation etc.); recalculation of time series, etc.;
Terminology: translation errors that related to the linguistic features of a language, or national
characteristics; absence in many national languages of new concepts and terms used in
international classifications;
Financial: approval of state programs for the budget funding of the development and
implementation of the new classifications;
Technical: provision of the technical equipment for specialists;
Information: improvement of KEOI statements, review and revisions of KEOI etc.; provision
for automated introduction of interconnected national classifications;
Organization: create regulatory framework, that will govern procedure of development and
implementation in the national system of the interconnected classifications; create in national
statistical offices special structural departments (division, service), that will work with
classifications, and training of specialists; the lack of quick translation into Russian and
national languages of the latest international classifications or their revised versions etc.

Classifications harmonization problems
Problems encountered in the process of harmonization of the national
classifications in the CIS member states:
Problems related to the certain discrepancies in the international classifications
themselves, for example between NACE, rev. 2 and CPA-2008 concerning the division
of retail trade on retail trade in non-specialized stores and retail trade in specialized
stores;
Problems of discrepancies of the national statistical classifications between
themselves at the last digit level, related to the national aspects of the country for
example, In the State Classification of Economic Activity of the Republic of Uzbekistan
under class 01.45 «Raising of sheep and goats» taking into account country specialty
introduced subclass 01.45.1 «Karakul breed of sheep», and in the class 01.49 «Raising of
other animals» - subclass 01.49.1 «Silkworm breeding».
