Division 2 Minimum standards for accuracy:

statistical information must be correct: all linear constraints must be fulfilled (e.g. subtotals must add up to totals), and data must be consistent across all frequencies;

reporting agents must be able to provide information on the developments implied by the transmitted data;

statistical information must be complete and must not contain continuous and structural gaps; existing gaps must be acknowledged, explained to the relevant NCB and, where applicable, bridged as soon as possible;

reporting agents must follow the rounding policy set by the relevant NCB for the technical transmission of the data.
