Every public purchase of medical consumables, from a box of gloves bought directly to a one-year framework agreement, is described by a CPV code. The code helps suppliers find the notice and appears in the contracting authority's reports. A code that is too general or wrong makes the purchase harder to find and to track.
This guide explains what CPV is, how to read a code and which official codes apply to the main families of medical consumables. Codes and names are taken from Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 213/2008 as published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Romanian names are given in italics where buyers will meet them in SEAP. The purchase thresholds are those in Romanian Law 98/2016, in the consolidated version on the legislative portal.
Romanian Law 98/2016 on public procurement defines CPV as "the reference nomenclature for public procurement", adopted by Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002 (Article 3(1)(r)). The nomenclature was revised by Regulation (EC) No 213/2008, which replaced Annex I of the original regulation and has applied since 15 September 2008. The revision made the vocabulary product-oriented rather than material-oriented.
SEAP is the name used in the law for the electronic public procurement system, used for award procedures and for publishing notices nationally. The platform it runs on, at e-licitatie.ro, is known as SICAP.
The main vocabulary has a tree structure. The first two digits give the division, the first three the group, the first four the class and the first five the category; each of the last three digits adds precision. The ninth digit, after the hyphen, verifies the preceding digits. This is how you reach the code for syringes:
| Level | Code | Official name (EN / RO) |
|---|---|---|
| Division | 33000000-0 | Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products / Echipamente medicale, produse farmaceutice și produse de îngrijire personală |
| Group | 33100000-1 | Medical equipments / Echipamente medicale |
| Class | 33140000-3 | Medical consumables / Medical supplies |
| Category | 33141000-0 | Disposable non-chemical medical consumables and haematological consumables / Consumabile medicale nechimice de unică folosință și consumabile hematologice |

| Final code | 33141310-6 | Syringes / Seringi |
The tables below bring together the nomenclature codes for the product families most often bought by a practice, a clinic or a hospital. The first column is only a reading aid; the official name is the one in the third column, here in English with the Romanian name used in SEAP.

The nomenclature has no code for examination gloves and no separate code for paper-plastic pouches; the closest codes are those in the table. The final choice of code rests with the contracting authority. English names follow the English version of the regulation, which sometimes differs from the Romanian one: 33141118-0 is "Wipes" in English and "Comprese de tifon" (gauze swabs) in Romanian.
The supplementary vocabulary adds attributes to the description of the subject. The code has a letter for the section, a letter for the group and three digits, the last being the check digit. For medical consumables the most useful are:
Sterile (Steril).
Non-sterile (Nesteril).
Single-use (De unică folosință).
For medical use; For hospital use (Cu utilizare medicală; Pentru spital).
A contracting authority may buy goods directly if the estimated value of the purchase, excluding VAT, is below 270,120 lei (Article 7(5)). Within this threshold, the law sets different steps by value (Article 7(7)):
| Estimated value, excluding VAT | What the contracting authority may do |
|---|---|
| Below 9,000 lei | Pay directly on the basis of the legal commitment, without prior acceptance of an offer |
| Up to and including 140,000 lei | Buy on the basis of a single offer |
| Over 140,000 and up to 200,000 lei | Consult at least three economic operators; if only one valid offer is received, the purchase may go ahead |
| Over 200,000 and below 270,120 lei | Use the SEAP electronic catalog or publish a notice with the description of the goods |
| From 270,120 lei | No direct purchase: below the EU threshold a simplified procedure applies (Article 7(2)) |
The EU threshold for supply contracts, above which the notice is published in the Official Journal of the European Union, is 698,460 lei from 1 January 2026, or 1,077,624 lei for local authorities and the institutions under them. In addition, the authority sends a quarterly notification to SEAP listing its direct purchases, with subject, quantity, value and CPV code, except those made through the electronic catalog (Article 7(8)).
When drafting technical specifications, it helps to know what Romanian health legislation already requires for a few product families:
Dressings, syringes and needles, gloves, sterilization products and waste containers, each with its own product sheet, in the Prima Shop catalog.
The general class is 33140000-3 Medical consumables. Lots with a single product type have more precise codes, for example 33141110-4 Dressings, 33141310-6 Syringes or 33141623-3 First-aid boxes.
The nomenclature has no code dedicated to examination gloves. The closest code is 18424300-0 Disposable gloves, while surgical gloves have code 33141420-0.
It is the check digit: it verifies the eight preceding digits. A code is always written in full, with its check digit, as it appears in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
Up to an estimated value below 270,120 lei excluding VAT (Article 7(5) of Law 98/2016). Above 200,000 lei, direct purchase goes through the SEAP electronic catalog or a published notice.
A set of alphanumeric codes that add attributes to the description, for example CA55-5 Sterile, CA56-8 Non-sterile or CA66-8 Single-use. It is used together with a code from the main vocabulary.
In Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 213/2008, published in the Official Journal of the European Union and available in all EU languages on EUR-Lex.
The Road Code obligation, the 14 items of the minimum contents set by Ministry of Health Order 987/2007, how to read the expiry date, what a DIN 13164 kit is and what to do when the gauze expires.
Legal obligations, the 28 items in a fixed-workstation kit, where to mount it, how to check it, when to replace the contents and which kit to choose for the office, warehouse, kitchen or company vehicles.
