Division 1.3.7 Data quality

It is the responsibility of each SIRENE bureau to perform the role of data quality assurance coordinator for the information that is introduced in the SIS. To this end SIRENE bureaux shall have the necessary national competence and capacity to perform this role, for which they are responsible pursuant to Article 92(4) and Article 108. It is therefore necessary to have a national data quality audit, including a review of the rate of alerts/hits and of data content.

National standards for training of end-users on data quality principles and practice should be established in cooperation with the national SIRENE bureau. It is recommended that SIRENE bureaux be involved in the training of all authorities entering alerts, stressing data quality and maximisation of the use of the SIS.
