		Guidelines For Measuring Statistical Quality Product   Provides a framework to assist producers of government statistics when reporting on data quality issues. The Guidelines (V3.1) contain a wide range of quality measures and indicators, grouped together into stages of the statistical production process. The Guidelines also record the dimension of quality being measured in each case, using the six European Statistical Service (ESS) Dimensions of Quality developed by Eurostat. More information on the ESS Dimensions is contained in the Guidelines. Version 3.1 contains new quality measures for information loss after disclosure control methods have been applied. Updates will be posted as they occur. Users are advised to download and print the relevant subsections when they are updated.
