National Quality Assurance Framework
The quality management in National Statistical Offices typically takes the form of a quality assurance framework. Several issues have historically underscored the need for national statistical offices to systematically adopt quality management measures sooner rather than later and translate them into a formalized quality assurance framework.

In summary, the current methodology depends on establishing a “benchmark” every five years. Between these benchmarks, indicators based largely on administrative records are used to extrapolate the benchmark. At constant prices, the quarterly estimates of activity are essentially the equivalent of Indices of Production covering all types of activity in the economy. Except for price data, these quarterly estimates do not rely much on statistical surveys, which are however a key input for the benchmarks.
