To assure the quality of processes and products, Statistics Estonia applies the EFQM Excellence Model, the European Statistics Code of Practice and the Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (ESS QAF). Statistics Estonia is also guided by the requirements in § 7. “Principles and quality criteria of producing official statistics” of the Official Statistics Act. | |
Statistics Estonia performs all statistical activities according to an international model (Generic Statistical Business Process Model – GSBPM). According to the GSBPM, the final phase of statistical activities is overall evaluation using information gathered in each phase or sub-process; this information can take many forms, including feedback from users, process metadata, system metrics and suggestions from employees. This information is used to prepare the evaluation report which outlines all the quality problems related to the specific statistical activity and serves as input for improvement actions. |
Ministry of Finance Users’ suggestions and information about taking these into account are available on the website of Statistics Estonia at http://www.stat.ee/statistikatood. | |
Since 1996, Statistics Estonia has conducted reputation and user satisfaction surveys. All results are available on the website at http://www.stat.ee/user-surveys. | |

Eurostat and the national statistical institutes try to reduce non-sampling errors through continuous methodological improvements and survey process improvements, e.g. by adopting computer-assisted data collection, which can help to avoid coding and typing errors. |
Most data are comparable across countries, since the survey is based on a common methodology. If there are any differences, explanations are added to the data. | |
The data are comparable over time. | |
When comparing data from different fields, coherence issues should be taken into account. | |
The outputs of the statistical activity are coherent. |
