Article 141. Risk assessment and management system

1. Risk is the probability of causing harm as a result of the activities of the subject of control and supervision to human life or health, the environment, the legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities, the property interests of the state, taking into account the severity of its consequences.

Risk assessment refers to the activities of control and supervision bodies to measure the likelihood of harm.

2. The risk assessment and management system for the purposes of control and supervision is understood as the process of making managerial decisions aimed at reducing the likelihood of the occurrence of adverse factors specified in part one of paragraph 1 of this article by distributing the subjects (objects) of control and supervision by degrees of risk for the subsequent implementation of preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision and (or) inspections for compliance with the requirements for the purpose of the minimum possible degree of restriction of freedom of entrepreneurship, ensuring at the same time an acceptable level of risk in the relevant fields of activity, as well as aimed at changing the level of risk for a particular subject (object) of control and supervision and (or) releasing such a subject (object) of control and supervision from preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision and (or) compliance inspections.

The criterion for assessing the degree of risk is a set of quantitative and qualitative indicators related to the direct activities of the subject of control and supervision, the features of industry development and factors affecting this development, allowing the subjects (objects) of control and supervision to be attributed to various degrees of risk.

3. For the purposes of risk management, the control and supervision body, when carrying out preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision and (or) inspection, assigns the subjects (objects) of control and supervision to one of the following degrees of risk (hereinafter referred to as the degree of risk):

1) high risk;

2) average risk;

3) low risk.

4. For the spheres of activity of subjects (objects) of control and supervision classified as high risk, the frequency of inspections for compliance with the requirements is determined by the criteria for assessing the degree of risk, but not more than once a year.

The frequency of inspections for compliance with the requirements for subjects (objects) of control and supervision of high epidemic significance in the field of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population is determined no more than once every six months.

For the spheres of activity of subjects (objects) of control and supervision classified as medium risk, the frequency of inspections for compliance with the requirements is determined by the criteria for assessing the degree of risk, but not more than once every two years.

For the spheres of activity of subjects (objects) of control and supervision classified as low risk, the frequency of inspections for compliance with the requirements is determined by the criteria for assessing the degree of risk, but not more than once every three years.

For the spheres of activity of subjects (objects) of control and supervision classified as high or medium risk, inspection of compliance with the requirements, preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision, preventive control without visiting the subject (object) of control and supervision and unscheduled inspection are carried out.

For the spheres of activity of subjects (objects) of control and supervision classified as low risk, a compliance inspection, preventive control without visiting the subject (object) of control and supervision and an unscheduled inspection are carried out.

5. The criteria for assessing the degree of risk and checklists used to conduct preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision and inspections for compliance with the requirements are approved by a joint act of regulatory state bodies, the authorized body for entrepreneurship and are posted on the Internet resources of regulatory state bodies.

6. Criteria for assessing the degree of risk for selecting subjects (objects) of control and supervision, checklists are developed on the basis of the rules for the formation by regulatory government bodies of a risk assessment and management system, the form of checklists.

7. The risk assessment and management system by regulatory state bodies is conducted using information systems for risk assessment and management, which relate subjects (objects) of control and supervision to specific degrees of risk and automatically generate schedules or lists of control measures, and is also based on state statistics, the results of departmental statistical observation, as well as information tools.

In the absence of an information system for risk assessment and management in automatic mode, the minimum allowable threshold for the number of subjects (objects) of control and supervision, in respect of which preventive control is carried out with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision and (or) inspection, should not exceed five percent of the total number of such subjects (objects) of control and supervision in a certain area of control and supervision.

The formation of a risk assessment and management system for control and supervision bodies using information systems in an automatic mode is carried out in accordance with the rules for the formation of a risk assessment and management system by regulatory government bodies, the form of checklists, taking into account the specifics and confidentiality of the risk assessment criteria.

8. The criteria for assessing the degree of risk are the basis for determining the degree of violation of the requirements established in the checklists in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 132 and paragraph 3 of Article 143 of this Code and are the subject of preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision and (or) verification of compliance with the requirements.

Violations of the requirements, depending on the severity, are divided into gross, significant and minor.

The classification of violations of the requirements established in the checklists in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 132 and paragraph 3 of Article 143 of this Code as gross, significant or minor violations is carried out in accordance with the rules for the formation of a risk assessment and management system by regulatory state bodies, the form of checklists.

9. Subjects (objects) of control and supervision are transferred using an information system from a high degree of risk to an average degree of risk or from an average degree of risk to a low degree of risk in the relevant fields of activity of subjects of control and supervision in the following cases:

1) if such entities have concluded insurance contracts of civil liability to third parties in the cases and in the manner prescribed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan;

2) if the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the criteria for assessing the degree of risk of regulatory state bodies define cases of exemption from preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and supervision or inspections;

3) if the subjects are members of a self-regulating organization based on voluntary membership (participation) in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Self-Regulation", with which an agreement has been concluded on the recognition of the results of the activities of the self-regulating organization.

10. Regulatory state bodies, when exercising control and supervision over a member (participant) of a self-regulatory organization based on voluntary membership (participation), take into account the fact of such membership (participation) in the criteria for assessing the degree of risk as a mitigating indicator, taking into account the concluded agreement on the recognition of the results of the activities of a self-regulatory organization in the manner determined by the authorized body for entrepreneurship.

The provisions of part one of this paragraph, as well as subparagraph 3) of paragraph 9 of this Article do not apply to the spheres of national security of the Republic of Kazakhstan, defense, public order.

1. Под реестром обязательных требований в сфере предпринимательства (далее – реестр требований) понимается общедоступная база данных регуляторных актов в разрезе видов предпринимательской деятельности по общему классификатору видов экономической деятельности.

Под регуляторными актами для целей настоящей статьи понимаются действующие нормативные правовые акты, а также иные документы, содержащие в соответствии с законодательством Республики Казахстан требования, обязательные для исполнения субъектами предпринимательства.

В случае, если регуляторный акт содержит обязательные для исполнения требования к разным видам предпринимательской деятельности, такой акт подлежит включению в реестр требований для каждого вида деятельности.

Положения части третьей настоящего пункта не распространяются на регуляторные акты, по которым правилами ведения реестра обязательных требований в сфере предпринимательства предусмотрен иной порядок включения.

Реестр требований решает следующие задачи:

1) обеспечение соответствия требований условиям их формирования, предусмотренным настоящим Кодексом, и принципам взаимодействия субъектов предпринимательства и государства;

2) обеспечение информированности субъектов предпринимательства об исчерпывающем перечне требований, обязательных для осуществления ими деятельности.

2. В реестр требований включаются регуляторные акты, содержащие требования, обязательные для исполнения субъектами предпринимательства при осуществлении ими деятельности согласно общему классификатору видов экономической деятельности, за исключением международных договоров Республики Казахстан.

6. В случае, если регулирующий государственный орган своевременно не провел анализ регуляторного акта, данный акт исключается из реестра требований.

Регулирующий государственный орган в целях недопущения привлечения предпринимателей к ответственности за нарушение требований, не соответствующих статье 81-1 настоящего Кодекса, должен отменить (признать утратившими силу) либо внести изменения и (или) дополнения в регуляторные акты в случае отсутствия и (или) исключения их из реестра требований:

Сноска. Статья 140 исключена Законом РК от 30.12.2021 № 95-VII (вводится в действие с 01.01.2023).

Статья 141. Система оценки и управления рисками

1. Риском является вероятность причинения вреда в результате деятельности субъекта контроля и надзора жизни или здоровью человека, окружающей среде, законным интересам физических и юридических лиц, имущественным интересам государства с учетом степени тяжести его последствий.

Под оценкой рисков понимается деятельность органов контроля и надзора по измерению вероятности причинения вреда.

2. Под системой оценки и управления рисками для целей контроля и надзора понимается процесс принятия управленческих решений, направленных на снижение вероятности наступления неблагоприятных факторов, указанных в части первой пункта 1 настоящей статьи, путем распределения субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора по степеням риска для последующего осуществления профилактического контроля с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и (или) проверок на соответствие требованиям с целью минимально возможной степени ограничения свободы предпринимательства, обеспечивая при этом допустимый уровень риска в соответствующих сферах деятельности, а также направленных на изменение уровня риска для конкретного субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и (или) освобождения такого субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора от профилактического контроля с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и (или) проверок на соответствие требованиям.

Критерием оценки степени риска является совокупность количественных и качественных показателей, связанных с непосредственной деятельностью субъекта контроля и надзора, особенностями отраслевого развития и факторами, влияющими на это развитие, позволяющих отнести субъекты (объекты) контроля и надзора к различным степеням риска.

3. Орган контроля и надзора для целей управления рисками при осуществлении профилактического контроля с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и (или) проверки относит субъекты (объекты) контроля и надзора к одной из следующих степеней риска (далее – степени риска):

1) высокий риск;

2) средний риск;

3) низкий риск.

4. Для сфер деятельности субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, отнесенных к высокой степени риска, кратность проведения проверок на соответствие требованиям определяется критериями оценки степени риска, но не чаще одного раза в год.

Кратность проведения проверок на соответствие требованиям в отношении субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора высокой эпидемической значимости в сфере санитарно-эпидемиологического благополучия населения определяется не чаще одного раза в полгода.

Для сфер деятельности субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, отнесенных к средней степени риска, кратность проведения проверок на соответствие требованиям определяется критериями оценки степени риска, но не чаще одного раза в два года.

Для сфер деятельности субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, отнесенных к низкой степени риска, кратность проведения проверок на соответствие требованиям определяется критериями оценки степени риска, но не чаще одного раза в три года.

Для сфер деятельности субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, отнесенных к высокой или средней степени риска, проводятся проверка на соответствие требованиям, профилактический контроль с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора, профилактический контроль без посещения субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и внеплановая проверка.

Для сфер деятельности субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, отнесенных к низкой степени риска, проводятся проверка на соответствие требованиям, профилактический контроль без посещения субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и внеплановая проверка.

5. Критерии оценки степени риска и проверочные листы, применяемые для проведения профилактического контроля с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и проверок на соответствие требованиям, утверждаются совместным актом регулирующих государственных органов, уполномоченного органа по предпринимательству и размещаются на интернет-ресурсах регулирующих государственных органов.

6. Критерии оценки степени риска для отбора субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, проверочные листы разрабатываются на основании правил формирования регулирующими государственными органами системы оценки и управления рисками, формы проверочных листов.

7. Система оценки и управления рисками регулирующими государственными органами ведется с использованием информационных систем оценки и управления рисками, относящих субъекты (объекты) контроля и надзора к конкретным степеням риска и формирующих в автоматическом режиме графики или списки проведения контрольных мероприятий, а также основывается на государственной статистике, итогах ведомственного статистического наблюдения, а также информационных инструментах.

При отсутствии информационной системы оценки и управления рисками в автоматическом режиме минимально допустимый порог количества субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, в отношении которых осуществляются профилактический контроль с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и (или) проверка, не должен превышать пять процентов от общего количества таких субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора в определенной сфере контроля и надзора.

Формирование системы оценки и управления рисками органов контроля и надзора с использованием информационных систем в автоматическом режиме осуществляется в соответствии с правилами формирования регулирующими государственными органами системы оценки и управления рисками, формой проверочных листов с учетом специфики и конфиденциальности критериев оценки степени риска.

8. Критерии оценки степени риска являются основанием для определения степени нарушения требований, установленных в проверочных листах в соответствии с пунктом 2 статьи 132 и пунктом 3 статьи 143 настоящего Кодекса и являющихся предметом профилактического контроля с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора и (или) проверки на соответствие требованиям.

Нарушения требований в зависимости от тяжести подразделяются на грубые, значительные и незначительные.

Отнесение нарушений требований, установленных в проверочных листах в соответствии с пунктом 2 статьи 132 и пунктом 3 статьи 143 настоящего Кодекса, к грубым, значительным или незначительным нарушениям осуществляется в соответствии с правилами формирования регулирующими государственными органами системы оценки и управления рисками, формой проверочных листов.

9. Субъекты (объекты) контроля и надзора переводятся с применением информационной системы с высокой степени риска в среднюю степень риска или со средней степени риска в низкую степень риска в соответствующих сферах деятельности субъектов контроля и надзора в случаях:

1) если такие субъекты заключили договоры страхования гражданско-правовой ответственности перед третьими лицами в случаях и порядке, которые установлены законами Республики Казахстан;

2) если в законах Республики Казахстан и критериях оценки степени риска регулирующих государственных органов определены случаи освобождения от профилактического контроля с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора или проведения проверок;

3) если субъекты являются членами саморегулируемой организации, основанной на добровольном членстве (участии) в соответствии с Законом Республики Казахстан "О саморегулировании", с которой заключено соглашение о признании результатов деятельности саморегулируемой организации.

10. Регулирующие государственные органы при осуществлении контроля и надзора за членом (участником) саморегулируемой организации, основанной на добровольном членстве (участии), учитывают факт наличия такого членства (участия) в критериях оценки степени риска как смягчающий индикатор с учетом заключенного соглашения о признании результатов деятельности саморегулируемой организации в порядке, определяемом уполномоченным органом по предпринимательству.

Положения части первой настоящего пункта, а также подпункта 3) пункта 9 настоящей статьи не распространяются на сферы национальной безопасности Республики Казахстан, обороны, обеспечения общественного порядка.

11. Определение форм контроля субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора осуществляется регулирующими государственными органами для каждой сферы деятельности, в которой осуществляется контроль.

Утвержденные проверочные листы размещаются на интернет-ресурсах регулирующих государственных органов.

2. Проверочный лист включает в себя перечень обязательных требований, предъявляемых к деятельности субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора, несоблюдение которых влечет за собой угрозу жизни и здоровью человека, окружающей среде, законным интересам физических и юридических лиц, государства.

Проверочный лист составляется в разбивке для однородных групп субъектов (объектов) контроля и надзора.

Под однородными группами понимаются субъекты (объекты) контроля и надзора, к которым предъявляются одни и те же требования.

3. Проверке и профилактическому контролю с посещением субъекта (объекта) контроля и надзора подлежат только требования, установленные в проверочных листах.

Требования, включаемые в проверочный лист, должны соответствовать одновременно всем следующим критериям:

5. Монопольно низкой ценой товара является цена, установленная субъектом рынка, занимающим доминирующее или монопольное положение, если:

1) эта цена ниже цены, которую на этом же товарном рынке устанавливает субъект рынка, не входящий в одну группу лиц с субъектом рынка, занимающим доминирующее положение;

2) эта цена ниже суммы фактических расходов на производство и реализацию такого товара.

В случае, если ключевая мощность является сырьевым товаром, обладатели соответствующей ключевой мощности обязаны предоставлять к ней равный доступ только производителям товаров, использующим указанное сырье.

В случае, если ключевая мощность является программным продуктом, доступ к ней осуществляется в соответствии с законодательством Республики Казахстан в сфере интеллектуальной собственности.

4. Равный доступ к ключевой мощности предоставляется на рыночных условиях.
