Standards play a major role in improving product quality. Currently, there are more than 75 thousand documents in the unified fund of regulatory documents. According to Zhanna Esenbekova, Chairman of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 137 standards were approved in 2024, 34 of which were developed at the initiative of business representatives.
Standards are widely used in public procurement to improve the quality of purchased goods and the transparency of procedures. In order to expand sales markets for Kazakhstani manufacturers, measures are being taken to adapt standards to the requirements of exporting countries.
"For example, on February 8, 2025, the developed Chinese standard for the production of dried mare's milk will come into force. As you know, products imported to the PRC market must comply with local standards, but to date there has been no such standard. A number of standards have been adopted aimed at improving the quality of life of the population and creating a barrier-free environment. For example, the national standard "Tourist services for people with special needs and groups of people with disabilities. General requirements" has been approved. The standard establishes requirements for ensuring barrier-free access to tourism infrastructure,” the speaker noted at the CCS site.
Ramps, elevators and tactile devices will be installed in museums, parks, hotels, restaurants and transport hubs. Particular attention will be paid to the training of tourism workers: guides, administrators and drivers will master sign language skills, learn to provide first aid and accompany groups with reduced mobility.
A standard has been adopted that regulates the use of unified graphic symbols to improve communication in crowded facilities, such as airports, transport and public spaces. The standard is aimed at creating comfortable conditions in crowded places to ensure clarity and universality of communication with visitors.
All sectors of the economy are covered by standards. The National Standardization Plan approved for 2025 includes topical topics: artificial intelligence and information security, ecology, automation, non-ferrous metallurgy, inclusion, etc. p.
