Chapter 2. Procedure for the formation of a risk assessment and management
system during verification of compliance with the requirements for sent notifications
and preventive control of control subjects (objects)

3. For the purposes of risk management, when carrying out preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and (or) verification for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications, the risk assessment criteria for checking for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications and preventive control of subjects (objects) of control shall be formed by determining objective and subjective criteria that shall be carried out in stages (multicriteria analysis of decisions).

At the first stage, according to objective criteria, control subjects (objects) belong to one of the following risk degrees:

1) high risk;

2) medium risk;

3) low risk.

For subjects (objects) of control classified as high and medium risk, a check shall be carried out for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications, preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and an unscheduled check.

In relation to subjects (objects) of control classified as low risk, an unscheduled inspection shall be carried out.

4. At the second stage, according to subjective criteria, control subjects (objects) belong to one of the following risk degrees:

1) high risk;

2) medium risk;

3) low risk.

According to the indicators of the risk degree according to subjective criteria, the subject (object) of control shall include:

1) to a high degree of risk - with a risk degree indicator from 71 to 100 inclusive;

2) to the average risk degree - if the risk degree is from 31 to 70 inclusive;

3) to a low risk degree - with a risk degree indicator from 0 to 30 inclusive.

5. Depending on the possible risk and significance of the problem, the singularity or consistency of the violation, the analysis of previously made decisions on each source of information, the requirements for the activities of the subjects (objects) of control correspond to the degree of violation - gross, significant and insignificant.

The degree of violations of the requirements in the field of seed production shall be determined in accordance with Annex 1 to these Criteria.

6. Risk assessment criteria for verification of compliance with the requirements for sent notifications and preventive control of subjects (objects) of control shall be formed by determining objective and subjective criteria.

Paragraph 1. Objective criteria

7. According to objective criteria, the subjects (objects) of control of a high degree of risk include producers of original seeds, elite seed industry, seed industry and seed quality examination laboratories.

8. According to objective criteria, medium-risk control subjects (objects) include consumers of seeds (with the exception of individuals engaged in the production of seeds for use in household, garden, summer cottage and garden plots without the right to sell them), individuals for the implementation of activities for testing varietal crops of agricultural plants and individuals for the implementation of activities for the examination of varietal and sowing qualities of seeds.

9. According to objective criteria, seed distributors belong to subjects (objects) of low-risk control.

Paragraph 2. Subjective criteria

10. Determination of subjective criteria shall be carried out using the following stages:

1) creation of a database and collection of information;

2) information analysis and risk assessment.

11. Formation of a database and collection of information are necessary to identify subjects (objects) of control.

To assess the degree of risk according to subjective criteria for conducting preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control, the following sources of information shall be used:

1) the results of previous inspections and preventive control with a visit to the subjects (objects) of control;

2) results of monitoring of reporting and information submitted by the subject of control.

To assess the degree of risk according to subjective criteria for verification of compliance with the requirements for sent notifications, the results of previous inspections in relation to the subjects (objects) of control shall be used.

12. Based on the available sources of information, data on subjective criteria shall be formed, which shall be subject to analysis and assessment.

Analysis and assessment of subjective criteria shall be allowed concentrating the verification for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications and preventive control of the subject (object) of control in relation to the subject (object) of control with the highest potential risk.

At the same time, during the analysis and assessment, the data of subjective criteria previously taken into account and used in relation to a specific subject (object) of control or data for which the limitation period has expired in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 178 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan shall not be applied.

In relation to the subjects of control who fully eliminated the violations issued following the results of the previous preventive control with a visit and (or) verification of compliance with the requirements for sent notifications, it is not allowed to include them in the formation of schedules and lists for the next period of state control.

13. Based on the priority of the information sources used and the importance of indicators of subjective criteria, in accordance with the procedure for calculating the risk level according to subjective criteria defined in Chapter 3 of these Criteria, the risk level according to subjective criteria shall be calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 points.

The priority of the information sources used and the importance of indicators of subjective criteria shall be established according to the list of subjective criteria for determining the degree of risk according to subjective criteria in the field of seed production in accordance with Annex 2 to these Criteria.

Paragraph 3. Risk management

14. In order to implement the principle of encouraging bona fide subjects of control and concentration of control on violators, subjects (objects) of control shall be exempted from preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control and (or) verification of compliance with the requirements for sent notifications for the period determined by paragraphs 22 and 23 of these Criteria by applying subjective criteria.

15. Subjects (objects) of control according to subjective criteria shall be transferred with the use of an information system with a high degree of risk to a medium degree of risk or with a medium degree of risk to a low degree of risk in the field of seed production in cases where the Laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and these Criteria shall define cases of exemption from preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control or inspections for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications.

16. The risk assessment and management system shall be carried out using information systems that relate the subjects (objects) of control to specific degrees of risk and form schedules or lists of control measures, and shall be also based on state statistics, the results of departmental statistical observation, as well as information tools.

In the absence of an information system for assessing and managing risks, the minimum permissible threshold for the number of control subjects (objects) in respect of which preventive control shall be carried out with a visit to the control subject (object) and (or) verification of compliance with the requirements for sent notifications should not exceed five percent of the total number of such control subjects in the field of seed production.

Chapter 3. Procedure for calculating the total risk level according to subjective criteria

17. To classify the subject of control as a risk in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 of these Criteria, the following procedure for calculating the risk level shall be applied.

The state body shall collect information and form a database on subjective criteria from sources in accordance with paragraph 11 of these Criteria.

18. Calculation of the risk level according to subjective criteria (R) shall be carried out in an automated mode by summing the risk level according to violations based on the results of previous inspections and preventive control with visits to control subjects (objects) (SP) and the risk level according to subjective criteria (SC), with subsequent normalization of data values in the range from 0 to 100 points.

R_пром = SP + SC,

where:

R_пром – intermediate risk score according to subjective criteria;

SР – risk indicator for violations;

SC – risk index according to subjective criteria determined in accordance with paragraph 13 of these Criteria.

The calculation shall be made for each subject (object) of control of a homogeneous group of subjects (objects) of control in the field of seed production. At the same time, the list of assessed control subjects (objects) belonging to a homogeneous group of control subjects (objects) of one sphere of state control forms a sample set (sample) for subsequent normalization of data.

19. According to the data obtained from the results of previous inspections and preventive control with visits to the subjects (objects) of control, a risk indicator for violations shall be formed, estimated in points from 0 to 100.

If one gross violation is detected according to any of the information sources specified in paragraph 11 of these Criteria, the control subject is equated with a risk level of 100 points and is checked for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications or preventive control with a visit to the control subject (object).

If gross violations are not detected, the risk indicator for violations is calculated by the total indicator for violations of a significant and insignificant degree.

When determining the indicator of significant violations, a coefficient of 0.7 shall be used.

This indicator is calculated using the following formula:

SРз = (SР₂ х 100/SР₁) х 0,7,

where:

SРз – indicator of significant violations;

SР₁ – number of significant violations required;

SР₂ – number of detected significant violations;

When determining the indicator of insignificant violations, a coefficient of 0.3 shall be used.

This indicator shall be calculated using the following formula:

SРн = (SР₂ х 100/SР₁) х 0,3,

where:

SРн – indicator of insignificant violations;

SР₁ – number of insignificant violations required;

SР₂ – number of detected insignificant violations;

The violation risk score (SP) shall be calculated on a scale of 0 to 100 points and shall be determined by summing the indicators of significant and insignificant violations according to the following formula:

SР = SР_з + SР_н,

where:

SР – risk indicator for violations;

SРз – indicator of significant violations;

SРн – indicator of insignificant violations.

The obtained value of the risk index for violations shall be included in the calculation of the risk index according to subjective criteria.

20. Calculation of the risk level according to subjective criteria determined in accordance with paragraph 13 of these Criteria shall be carried out on a scale from 0 to 100 points and shall be carried out according to the following formula:

x_i – subjective criterion indicator;

w_i – specific gravity of the subjective criterion indicator xi;

n – number of indicators.

The obtained value of the risk score according to subjective criteria determined in accordance with paragraph 13 of these Criteria shall be included in the calculation of the risk score according to subjective criteria.

21. The R values calculated by subjects (objects) shall be normalized in the range from 0 to 100 points. Data normalization shall be carried out for each sample set (sample) using the following formula:

R – risk score (final) according to subjective criteria of an individual subject (object) of control;

R_max – maximum possible value according to the risk scale according to subjective criteria for subjects (objects) included in one sample set (sample) (upper limit of the scale);

R_min – minimum possible value according to the risk scale according to subjective criteria for subjects (objects) included in one sample population (sample) (lower limit of the scale);

R_пром – an intermediate risk level according to subjective criteria calculated in accordance with paragraph 18 of these Criteria.

Chapter 4. Final provisions

22. The frequency of inspections for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications in relation to subjects (objects) of control classified as high risk shall be determined no more than once a year.

The frequency of inspections for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications in relation to subjects (objects) of control classified as medium risk shall be determined no more than once every two years.

The frequency of inspections for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications in relation to subjects (objects) of control classified as low risk shall be determined more than once every three years.

23. The frequency of preventive control with a visit to the control subject shall be determined by the results of the analysis and assessment of the information obtained according to subjective criteria, but no more than twice a year.

24. Checks for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications shall be carried out on the basis of the schedule of checks for compliance with the requirements for sent notifications, approved by the regulatory state body in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 144 of the Code.

Preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control shall be carried out on the basis of semi-annual lists of preventive control with a visit to the subject (object) of control, formed in accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 144-2 of the Code.
