Methods

Official data: facts with a quality label

Our quality standards require that quality assurance procedures be carried out in all the implementation phases of our roughly 380 federal statistics (data collection, processing, dissemination). We also offer quality reports which comply with the standards of the European Statistical System (ESS) and the European Statistics Code of Practice. They contain detailed information on methodology, timeliness and comparability. This helps you to interpret our data correctly and assess their information value.
