Reference Metadata

The HICP reference metadata gathers, under a standard structure, references and summary information regarding data quality and the production process in general.

With a view to making European Statistics more accessible and clear, the National Statistical Offices producing HICP data are also documenting their national practices under the same structure.

Links to the reference metadata and national metadata are listed below:
