Who this service is for
Manufacturers, importers, suppliers and operating organizations, including limited liability partnerships and individual entrepreneurs. For new equipment, the party commissioning the document and the party issuing it on the manufacturer's behalf may be different.
When it is required
Passport requirements arise from the applicable technical regulation, sector-specific rules and manufacturer documentation. Under TR CU 032/2013, the manufacturer issues the passport. A new document prepared by a consultant does not replace the manufacturer's signature. Duplicate passports for equipment already in service follow specific procedures: paragraph 247 of Rules No. 358 for vessels and paragraph 885 for boilers. Amendments to TR CU 010/2011 effective from September 2026 require a separate review of the permitted form of operating documents.
What to prepare
- Purpose of the passport, model, serial number, year of manufacture and number of units.
- Manufacturer documents, the existing passport or surviving parts, operating manual, drawings, specifications and technical parameters.
- Photographs of the equipment and its markings; material, welding, calculation and test records where applicable.
- For used equipment: repair and modification history, accumulated operating time, previous statutory inspections and technical examinations.
How we work
- Identify the product and determine the applicable technical regulations and rules.
- Distinguish a new passport from a translation, supplement or replacement of a lost document.
- Check the parameters against drawings and supporting evidence; agree on measurements and diagnostics where information is missing.
- Prepare the passport and confirm the factual information with the manufacturer or owner.
- Deliver the document for proper execution, signature and inclusion in the operating documentation.
What you receive
A passport or duplicate containing established characteristics, appendices and space for operating records. Where necessary, we provide a list of missing evidence rather than inserting unsupported data.
What to keep in mind
A passport is not a certificate of conformity, a Permit to Use or an automatic extension of service life. The time required depends on the completeness of the source information and whether a site visit is necessary.
Price and timing
Price and timing depend on the number of items, available documentation and the need for calculations, site visits and testing. After an initial review, we agree on the scope, cost and schedule. Free government services are distinguished from preparation and support charges.
Questions about this service
Can a lost equipment technical passport be restored?
The possibility and procedure depend on the equipment type. Manufacturer documents, verified parameters and, where necessary, an examination are used. A duplicate is issued under the applicable rules; missing manufacturer data are not invented.
Can a passport be prepared using only a photograph?
Photographs help identify equipment but usually do not establish its materials, design parameters, tests or service life. A complete passport requires additional technical information.
How does a passport differ from an operating manual?
A passport identifies a specific product and contains prescribed information and operating records. A manual explains safe installation, use, maintenance and other activities. The required document package depends on the product type.
Does a foreign equipment passport need to be translated?
For use in Kazakhstan, the language requirements of the applicable technical regulation and sector-specific rules must be checked. The original document is retained. Translation does not replace missing mandatory information or proper issue by the manufacturer.
