The article is devoted to the problem of the object of forensic examinations as a criterion for attributing expertise to a certain genus. The purpose of the work is to identify patterns in the construction of the classification of forensic examinations, which are based on the object of expert research. The work is based on a systematic approach, using such principles and categories of dialectical and logical cognition as induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, formal methods, abstraction, theoretical modeling and analogues. Main results and conclusions: a) the object of such examinations should not be understood exaggeratedly as a material object or part of it as belonging to a common whole, but considered as an abstract object (for example, a marking designation); b) an abstract object, as a general, generic concept, has a number of specific aspects that can be investigated by other types of expertise. Such an object is redundant for determining the type of examination and requires clarification - which side, which part of the object is to be examined during the examination (this is more evident not for simple, but for developed types of examinations having a species division). c) the subject of the forensic examination, specifying which side of the object constitutes its content, is certainly important in identifying the type and type of examinations. But using it as the basis for the classification of forensic examination can be avoided by more precisely formulating the object of forensic examination.
