Statistical quality

Statistical quality must be perceived as being part of the statistical production process. It is a major factor behind the consolidation of the user confidence in statistics.
 
In this domain several documents are available and should be mentioned, as defining statistical quality assessment methodologies (covering the various aspects related to data collection, processing and statistical dissemination) assessed against the best practices and internationally accepted concepts, definitions and standards:

• Statistics Quality Framework (SQF) - European Central Bank / European System of Central Banks
• European Statistics Code of Practice - European Statistical System
• Data Quality Assessment Framework (DQAF) - International Monetary Fund
