6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements | |||
Statistics Norway's activities are based on those terms and limits set by Norwegian and international laws, regulations and principles in the statistics area. Statistics Norway's requirements for official statistics is based on the Statistics Act, which lays down the formal framework for all Norwegian official statistics, and those requirements developed in international collaborations. The Statistics Act stipulates that Statistics Norway is the central body for preparing and disseminating official statistics. Statistics Norway is subject to supervisory guidelines and financial frameworks set for its business at any time by the Government and the Storting (National Assembly). Still, the Statistics Act stipulates that Statistics Norway is an independent institution in its field, including comprehensive research activity. This situation means that Statistics Norway:

In order to be able to produce the highest quality statistics, Statistics Norway has access to public administrative registers.

11.1. Quality assurance | |||
In addition to the controls done by the National Register, Statistics Norway performs checks for statistical purposes. Some errors made during the collecting and processing of the data are unavoidable and include coding, revision and data processing errors etc. Extensive efforts have been made to minimize these errors, and we regard these types of errors to be relatively insignificant. The quality of the basic data from the National Population Register is generally very good for statistical purposes. Two drawbacks are nevertheless late or missing notifications and registration of emigration. |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Good. |
|
|||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
Public administration, research institutes, the insurance industry, the media and private persons. Assignment work in Statistics Norway entails the collection and preparation of statistics within specialised areas. Assignments can also entail special handling of data already collected and research assignments that are based on figures from Statistics Norway. |

14.1. Timeliness | |||
The statistic is published about 6-7 weeks after reference time, which is 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
Usually as planned 6 months ahead on the release date |
|
|||||||||||||||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||||||||||||||
Due to municipal mergers and divisions and redrawing of borders, it is not always possible to compare figures when, e.g., we want to prepare a time series for a municipality. The changes can also affect county borders and thus also the basis for comparison there. |

18.3. Data collection | |||||||||||||||
The basis of the statistics on changes in the population is electronic copies to Statistics Norway of all register updates. The reports are also used to update a separate Statistics Norway population database kept for statistical purposes, which forms the basis for the statistics on the composition of the population. |

18.4. Data validation | |||||||||||||||
In addition to the checks made by the NPR, Statistics Norway performs checks for statistical purposes. |

|||||||||||||||
18.6. Adjustment | |||||||||||||||
Deviations between natural increase and net immigration and the population growth is not adjusted in the statistics. Deviations is due to lack of incoming messages of births, deaths and migrations. The deviation in the population accounts is due to belated reports, annulments, corrections etc. |
