Unified cataloguing system of the Czech Republic

The Unified Cataloguing System (UCS) in the Czech Republic is fully compatible and interoperable with the NATO Codification System (NCS). The SW tool WEB-KAT was introduced to support its informatization.

Subjects of the Unified Cataloguing System of the Czech Republic

Authority

i.e. Defence Standardisation, Codification and Government Quality Assurance Authority, established by Act 309/2000 Coll.

User

i.e. the ministry or an administrative office and a region that has applied for the use of the JSK and has a use agreement negotiated with the Authority

Producer (manufacturer)

i.e. a natural (legal) person whose product is the subject of cataloguing based on the application of the cataloguing clause and the submission of an application for cataloguing by the UCS user. The product may contain components that are the product of other manufacturers - subcontractors. A subcontractor is therefore a natural (legal) person whose product is part of a larger whole that is subject to cataloguing according to Act No. 309/2000 Coll.

Supplier

i.e. a natural (legal) person who is in a contractual relationship with the UCS user for the delivery of the given product. If the product is purchased directly from the manufacturer, the latter is also a supplier.

Cataloguing Agency

i.e. a natural (legal) person who does business according to Act No. 309/2000 Coll., Ch. III in the field of processing draft cataloguing data about the product. It can also be a supplier. The relevant certificate for this business is issued by the Authority.
