3.1. Data description | ||||||||||
The European Parliament and Council adopted the European Business Statistics (EBS) Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 on 27 November 2019, followed by the Commission Implementing Regulation 2020/1197 laying down technical specifications and arrangements pursuant to the mentioned EBS Regulation (General Implementing Act). COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/2552 (of 12 December 2022) lays down the technical specifications for the data requirements of the "statistics on industrial production", which determines the classification breakdown of industrial products. (The previous legal basis was Council Regulation (EEC) (No. 3924/91) of 19 December 1991 on the establishment of a Community survey of industrial production.). The survey is undertaken by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic on an annual survey of the value and volume of products produced and sold by industrial enterprises in the Slovakia during the reference year. Surveyed indicators according to the List of selected industrial products PRODSLOV, which is the Slovak national version of the PRODCOM list:
The PRODCOM survey provides information on PRODUCTION of the European Community and is compiled from data received from Slovak manufacturers enterprises. The survey sample is approximately 2 700 enterprises.
|
||||||||||
3.2. Classification system | ||||||||||
List of selected industrial products PRODSLOV. PRODSLOV contains a 10-digit (XXXX XX YY ZZ) numeric code of the item with the following structure: XXXX = 4-digit SKNACE code (NACE, Rev.2) ZZ - indicates a more detailed breakdown of the PRODSLOV item according to the needs of national specifics. If there are zeros in these positions, the code fully corresponds to the PRODCOM code. Otherwise, it is a supplemented national item PRODSLOV. |
||||||||||
3.3. Coverage - sector | ||||||||||
Industry includes activities connected with mining and quarrying; manufacturing; electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply; water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities (divisions 05-39 of statistical classification NACE Rev.2). |
||||||||||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | ||||||||||
Production of industrial products and services – includes the production of products (industrial services) in units of measure and in value expression in thousands EUR. This includes the production of products for sale outside the enterprise, as well as the production of products that are consumed for production purposes (internalconsumption) and industrial services - modifications, repairs, maintenance, assembly, paid work, which are intended for sale outside the company. Subcontracting To identify subcontracting relationships have been included in the List of selected industrial products PRODSLOV so-called subcontracting codes ending with the double numbers 78 and 79, respectively 88 and 89. A subcontracting relationship can only arise between two different enterprises. The supplier is the owner of the basic material, which he provides to the subcontractor free of charge. The subcontractor transforms the supplied basic material into a new product or changes the characteristics of the supplied material and returns it to the supplier, who sells it on the market. We distinguish:

11.1. Quality assurance | |||
The Quality policy is defined and publicly accessible in the Quality Declaration and Quality Policy documents. The Quality Declaration expresses the basic ideas and commitments of the President and top management of the SOSR for the Quality Policy as well as increasing efficiency and effectiveness of the integrated management system of the SOSR. Quality policy is based on the mission of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic: to provide high quality and objective statistical products and services by keeping confidentiality of statistical data and by minimising burden on interested parties using effectively existing resources with the aim to support improvement of the information and intellectual capital of our customers. In this way we want to contribute to reduce risks and improve effectiveness in their decision making processes and so to support the sustainable development of the Slovak Republic as the part of EU. The Quality manual describes the documented procedures of the quality system that are used for implementation and continuous improvement of the quality management system in SOSR. It contains a description of the quality management system and the fulfillment of requirements ISO 9001 standards. Application of the manual in practice ensures that all activities that have an impact on the quality of the products created are planned, managed, reviewed, evaluated and The European Statistics Code of Practice is the basis of the common quality framework of the European Statistical System. It is a self-regulatory tool and it is based on 16 Principles covering the institutional environment, statistical processes and statistical outputs. A set of indicators of best practices and standards for each of the Principles provides guidelines and benchmarks for reviewing the implementation of the Code of Practice, thus increasing transparency within the European Statistical System. |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Coverage, reference period, data collection, control and data processing are in line with the Eurostat methodological guidelines. The data collection process is conducted in the Integrated statistical information system called ISIS. SOSR creates technical projects of the statistical surveys describing data collection and its evaluation, including a description of statistical controls and algorithms within the integrated ISIS. The data collection process is ensured by the regional offices of the SOSR during the phase of electronic data collection, ensure using statistical controls and algorithms the data |
|
|||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
The requirement to conduct consultations with users of statistical information is stipulated in the Act on State Statistics itself. Consultations during the preparation of state statistical surveys take place within the framework of the preparation of the Program of State Statistical Surveys (PSSZ). PSSZ is a generally binding legal regulation compiled by the SOSR in collaboration with ministries, other central authorities and state organizations and contains statistical surveys organized and carried out by the SOSR, ministries, other central authorities and state organizations. SOSR publishes the Program of state statistical surveys by decree in the Collection of Laws of the Slovak Republic. The Coordinating Council for State Statistics ensures the fulfilment of the tasks of the SOSR. Key users of specific statistical products are listed in the Marketing Plan (e.g. international organizations - Eurostat, OECD, UN and national institutions - National Bank of Slovakia, etc.). |
|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
Since the 2009, SOSR carries out satisfaction surveys of customers with their products and services at two-year intervals. The goal of surveys is to determine customer satisfaction with the products and services of the SOSR, to obtain information about users, their interest and opinion on provision and quality of statistical products and services. The facts obtained are a valuable resource for the direction of other activities of the SOSR. One of the main goals defined in the Development Strategy. The goal of the SOSR until 2022 is to systematically increase the value of the institution and its recognition at the national and international level. The office also monitors the fulfilment of the stated goal with the help of indicators of the credibility of the SOSR and the rate of use of the information provided by the public. SOSR conducts credibility surveys through an external independent organization once every 2 years, with the intention of ensuring the objectivity and indisputability of the results from public view. |
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
Time series of indicators in accordance with the regulation are available from 2001 in Datacube. |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
Overall accuracy is considered very good. SOSR makes great efforts to prevent the occurrence of errors in the data and performs data verification to detect the errors. Most errors are directly consulted at regional offices with the reporting units. |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
Not relevant. The survey is exhaustive. |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
The electronic questionnaire and information system ISIS itself provides many arithmetic and logical checks between variables, which we distinguish between serious and informative. Data collection is provided by the office of the SOSR in Banská Bystrica. After the deadline for submission of the statistical questionnaire, the reporting units that did not respond are contacted again to fulfil their legal obligation. In case of serious errors in the form, this form is not accepted and with the help of experts from the regional office its correctness is ensured so that it can enter into the data processing. Automatic validation checks during data collection and informative checks are incorporated with the aim to follow logical checks, reducing the rate of partial nonresponses, anomalies and outliers. The purpose of this process is to minimize errors already in the data collection itself and subsequently during data processing. The basic step in the process of calculating unit non-response is the analysis of the population with regard to the state of activity of the reporting units. For this purpose, we use a specific classification of responses and non-responses codes. Individual codes describe active and inactive units and are assigned to each reporting unit. Subsequently, we determine the population of active units entering the data processing. Response rate: 94,8634 % Non response rate: 5,1366 % Item non response: 0,9891 % Imputation: Total production EUR: 0,2806 % Sale of product EUR: 0 Sale of product for export EUR: 0 Total production (physical unit): 0,0549 % Sale of product (physical unit): 0 Sale of product for export (physical unit): 0 |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
Data dissemination in the public database Datacube is in accordance with the set up deadlines. Statistics on industrial products are published by the end of July after the reference period. The transmission of data to Eurostat shall be made by 30 June following the reference period. |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
Publication deadlines were met. |
|
|||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
The indicators production and sales of products are compiled for the entire territory of the Slovak Republic. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
The result of an extensive revision of the NACE and CPA classifications in 2007 was also the recoding of the PRODCOM list, respectively List of selected industrial products PRODSLOV. Data for product statistics are comparable: Starting with the year 2021, with the implementation of the EBS Regulation a break of series appears as a result of the fact that the production under sub-contracted operations was collected separately from the own account production made by the units. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
Cross-checks are made between SBS, external trade and STS at micro and macro level. We realise next types of comparison analysis:
The cases with differences are further analysed and corrected, if necessary. The value of production for all the products in the same 4 digit NACE class are summed and compared with national turnover in that class according Structural Business Statistics. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
There are no deviations, the statistical outputs are internally consistent. |
|
|||
SOSR regularly monitors the cost and burden of reporting units. As part of the optimization of statistical surveys, it takes measures aimed at reducing their burden. In the Priem 6-01 survey, each reporting unit has personalised pre-filled product codes and product names according to the PRODSLOV list. The cost and burden measurement at the level of European Statistical Products is in competence of the Resources Directors Group within Eurostat. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
The Revision policy regulates the general rules and procedures applied in revisions at the SOSR. The same revision policy applies to national and international users. In accordance with the Revision policy, the reason of the revision is always indicated. The Revisions policy as well as the Revisions calendar is available to users on the web portal of the SOSR. From the content point of view, the reason for the revision is considered:
In terms of time, SOSR divides the revisions into:
|
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
The main source of information for routine revisions are new or revised data from reporting units. The data are considered definitive on first publication and are usually not subject to revision. In the event of any revision (also in previous years), a note is placed in the databases and in the relevant publications of the SO SR, indicating that the data have been revised. |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
A exhaustive survey by the List of selected industrial products PRODSLOV. The reporting obligation of Priem 6-01 has enterprises registered in the Business Register, profit-oriented contributory organizations and public institutions with 20 or more employees and organizations with 0 to 19 employees with annual turnover of EUR 5 million or more, which are kept in the register of organizations of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, with the main industrial activity according to the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities (SK NACE). Furthermore, they are selected organizations regardless of the industry activity and the category of the number of employees for which there is a significant volume of production of industrial products. The non-industrial enterprises are included if their value of production of a particular product is more than 50% of the average output for enterprises classified to the relevant NACE Class to which that product is typically related. |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Annual. |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||

The completed statistical questionnaire must be submitted electronically by 31 March following the year under reference on the website www.statistics.sk. In the event that the reporting unit has not submitted the electronic questionnaire, it is contacted by the relevant regional office of SOSR. |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
The data entry, data completeness and statistical control are organised by specialised regional offices of the SOSR. SOSR distinguishes between two levels of data checks:
According to the importance there are classified 2 basic types of checks:
Most of the errors are directly consulted with the reporting units by our regional offices. |
