For example, the conditions for determining criticality are:

• performing works and providing services for the Ministry of Economy on the basis of contracts concluded for a period of at least six months;
• being under the management of the Ministry of Economy;

• being a participant in an industrial park and carrying out economic activities within the industrial park;
• enterprises included in the list of manufacturers of machinery and equipment that are included in the relevant lists of the Ministry of Economy and may receive state support under the "Made in Ukraine" policy.

The order also introduces criteria regarding the minimum average wage level for certain categories of enterprises:

• for enterprises with an average number of insured persons of at least 50 employees, the average wage must be no lower than the national average for the previous reporting year multiplied by a factor of 2;
• for enterprises with a staff of at least 20 employees, a factor of 3 is established.

For forestry enterprises, the minimum area of forest land under permanent use has been increased from 500 to 2,500 hectares. An alternative criterion regarding the number of insured employees is set at no less than 10 persons. A minimum annual enterprise income of at least UAH 10 million is also provided.
