Our legal services are based on a thorough study and in-depth consideration of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Subsoil and Subsoil Use," as well as a number of key orders regulating activities in this area, including Orders No. 366, 376, and others.

Technical and Industrial Exploration in Kazakhstan

Technical and industrial information (TII) plays a crucial role in Kazakhstan's modern industry. It involves the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data on technological processes, equipment, and materials that are vital for the safety and efficiency of industrial production.
Key Areas of TII Exploration:

• Monitoring and analyzing industrial markets: This includes studying foreign investments and technological innovations to assess the impact of global trends on local industries.
• Assessing industry competitiveness: Identifying key factors that determine the competitive advantages of domestic enterprises in the global market.
• Identifying technological trends: Focusing on new opportunities for industrial development, especially in the context of digitization and the adoption of advanced technologies in production processes.
• Industrial data security: Protecting against industrial espionage and ensuring the confidentiality of critical industrial data is a priority for maintaining stability and security in the sector.

Importance in Industry 4.0
In the context of the gradual transition to Industry 4.0, which emphasizes production automation and the integration of digital technologies, TII becomes especially relevant. Awareness of the latest technological solutions, protection of intellectual property, and data security gives companies an advantage in innovation and development.
Our services include legal support for companies engaged in technical and industrial exploration, including protecting trade secrets, ensuring compliance with industrial safety regulations, and registering rights to innovative developments. We assist our clients in navigating the external environment, providing reliable protection of their interests in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Understanding Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution, focusing on advanced technologies and automation of smart and interactive production systems. This approach differs significantly from previous industrial revolutions, as it includes digitization of production processes and integration of various technological innovations. Key aspects include:

• Key components of Industry 4.0:
• Internet of Things (IoT): Connecting various devices and machines into a unified network, enabling data sharing and autonomous operations.
• Big data and analytics: Collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data to optimize processes, predict failures, and improve product quality.
• Autonomous robots: Using robots that can perform tasks independently, collaborate with humans, and adapt to new working conditions.
• Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning: Applying algorithms to optimize processes without direct programming of each task.
• Digital twins: Creating virtual replicas of physical objects or systems for testing and analysis.
• Cyber-physical systems (CPS): Technologies combining physical processes with computer algorithms, capable of solving tasks autonomously using electronic data.

Advantages of Industry 4.0:

• Efficiency improvements: Minimizing waste, time, and costs through optimized processes.
• Production flexibility: Rapid adaptation to changes in market consumption and demand.
• Product quality enhancement: Stricter quality control at every stage of production.
• Risk reduction: Predicting and preventing failures and accidents.

Application of Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 finds application in diverse sectors, from automotive to healthcare and from energy to agriculture, creating smarter, safer, and more efficient production processes.

The Code "On Subsoil and Subsoil Use" of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Establishes the main rules and standards for subsoil use, including exploration and mining of mineral resources. It regulates the rights and obligations of subsoil users, conditions, and procedures for subsoil use. It is crucial for understanding TII exploration requirements, as it provides the legal foundation for all activities related to subsoil use.

Order No. 374 on Reporting by Subsoil Users
Requires subsoil users to submit comprehensive reports on their activities related to exploration and production. These reports include financial, environmental, and technical data critical for ensuring transparency and control in the TII sector.

Order No. 366 on Filing and Reviewing Compensation Applications
Regulates the process of filing and reviewing compensation applications for transitioning to alternative energy sources. It defines the requirements for documents and the procedure for their review, essential for organizations involved in TII exploration.

Order No. 297 on Industrial Safety in Uranium Operations
Specifies requirements for ensuring industrial safety in geological exploration, mining, and processing of uranium. Although focused on uranium, the safety methods and measures are applicable to other types of mineral exploration, making it relevant for TII activities.

Order No. 122 on Minimum Requirements for Organic Mineral Deposit Exploration
Sets minimum requirements for subsoil users conducting exploration, including fulfilling financial and contractual obligations, using declared methods, documenting exploration results, and other aspects directly related to TII.
These documents provide the legal framework for activities related to technical and industrial information exploration in Kazakhstan, essential for companies operating in this field.
