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. |

The service producer price index (SPPI) covers the entire country and is comparable with other European Union countries. | |
The service producer price indices (SPPI) are comparable over time. The indices can be chain-linked to make comparisons over time. | |
There are no direct benchmark figures to check cross domain coherence. | |
The internal consistency of the data is ensured by the use of a common methodology for data collection and data aggregation. The sub-indices are coherent with the total index. |
The data revision policy and notification of corrections are described in the section Principles of dissemination of official statistics of the website of Statistics Estonia. | |
The published data may be revised if the methodology is modified, errors are discovered, new or better data become available within three months from the end of the reference period. |

On the bases of collected data Laspeyres-type price indices are calculated. Microdata are aggregated to the required level. Since 2006 Statistics Estonia updates the weights system of the service producer price index of activities and base prices for calculation every year. In the current year (t) the base prices for the calculation of the index were the prices of the last year (t-1) December. The weights system corresponds to the service sales revenue of enterprises in the year t-2. The service producer price index of activities is published quarterly. The annual index has been calculated as the average of four quarters. | |
