3.1. Data description | |||
Enterprises are requested to provide annual information on actual and sold production quantities and production sold value for all products and services described in the PRODCOM based national Nomenclature of Industrial Product (NIP). The NIP has a wider scope then PRODCOM and hierarchically cover all products and services described in the NACE Rev.2 section B to E36 i.e. CPA ver.2 respectively. It is updating annually in line with PRODCOM. The production sold quantities and values for each NIP code is further split on production sold on non-domestic market. This is mainly used as source to calculate weights needed for the STS Producer Price Indices (PPI) and energy statistics. Volumes are requested for all products (even for those for which no European obligation exists). For some products, if European chosen unit does not match national needs, volumes in several units might be requested. For contract activities the number of effective hour is used as volume (this is used for weighting measurement) in addition to fee received for contract work The data collection is made at the level of the county. Enterprises are split in entities that cover each region (21 Croatian Counties). Several local units might be grouped together if they are in same country. Due to Covid 19 pandemic outbreak, there was no effect on data collection. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
Hierarchical Nomenclature of Industrial Products, 2022 (so called NIP 2022) is used in the PRODCOM survey on industrial production for 2022. NIP code follow the identical structure as PRODCOM comprising in first 6 digit CPA codes, 8 digits PRODCOM codes and further national breakdown on 10 digits level. Part that are not covered by PRODCOM comprise further breakdown of CPA codes. The NIP 2022 covers all products listed within the Prodcom list 2022 with further national breakdowns and extra products for NACE activities based on CPA Ver 2.1 not covered by PRODCOM list 2021 due to national needs (NACE Rev.2 sections B to E36 are covered). NIP 2022 consist of about 4000. The NIP is revised every year according to PRODCOM list. |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
Nomenclature of Industrial Product (NIP) covers sections and divisions from B to E36 of Nace Rev.2 (while Prodcom covers only sections B and C of NACE Rev.2) In the national PRODCOM survey enterprises and part thereof under above defined coverage with 10 and more persons employed are surveyed. |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
The PRODCOM based survey in Croatia collects more data than what is required at European level. Folowing variables are collected on the NIP level: The value and the volume of production. The value is expressed in national currency – Croatian 000’ Kuna’s but for the purpose of delivery to Eurostat converted to Euro. The volume is expressed in a unit specified for each NIP product. The volume unit: the measurement unit, such as kilograms, square metres etc.,to indicate the volume of physical goods produced, while for certain services and subcontracting work effective hours are used to indicate the volume of services under subcontracting produced. Production type:
Only production carried out within national border is reported. |
|||
3.5. Statistical unit | |||
The industrial enterprise and industrial parts of non-industrial enterprises (KAU) is the observation unit surveyed by the CBS. Additionally, enterprises and parts thereof are split in entities that cover each region (21 Croatian Counties). Several local units might be grouped together if they are in same county (kind of broad Local unit) due to national needs (data on county levels). The production for each Prodcom product from all surveyed enterprises and part thereof in the Croatia is aggregated before the results are sent to Eurostat. |
|||
3.6. Statistical population | |||
The survey population of the reference period shall be enterprises whose principal activity or one of its secondary activities with 10 or more persons employed is listed in section B, C, D and E36 of the NACE Rev.2. For bakeries and printing, the number of persons employed is to be reduced to get significant coverage of turnover of the division. |

|
|||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
PRODCOM is highly relevant for national and international users as well as internally (as for input to input-output tables).
|
|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
CBS was conducted first general user satisfaction survey during November 2013 and secondly in period from 13 to 26 April 2015 combining web questionnaire and telephone interviewing. The sample consisted of users that have requested statistical data in the period from the beginning of the 2013 to March 2015. The questionnaire was sent to e-mails of 2 765 users through the Survey Monkey. Links to the questionnaire were placed on the website of the CBS, as well as on CBS official Twitter and Facebook pages so that other interested users can participate in the survey. The questionnaire was prepared in Croatian and English and contained 28 questions. In specific parts of the questionnaire, users were able to write their proposals and suggestions for improvements. The questionnaire covered the following topics:
Questionnaire was completed by 952 users.There was no specific question on PRODCOM data. The starting point of creating a model for measuring users' satisfaction was the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).The following five criteria were taken as the variables that affect the overall satisfaction of CBS' users.
|
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
According to "compliance score" calculated by Eurostat Croatian PRODCOM data for 2022 reached full compliance. A compliance score combines the timeliness of the transmission with the percentage of data reported. Croatian PRODCOM data 2022 includes 100% of the data in the transmission file on time requested. |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
The PRODCOM Survey for 2022 covered 2894 enterprises with a response rate of 96.47% while the non-response estimate was 3.53%, the overall accuracy is very good. |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
Not applicable. PRODCOM survey is a cut-off survey (with 10+ persons employed). |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
Measurement errors: Respondents are not likely to use wrong code as the classification of product is usually done by the statistical office. Processing errors: When data are collected they are compared with other sources:
Aggregate checks:
Unit non response rate is 1.0%. Item non-response is 0, actually not applicable since in-line Prodcom data collection system in Croatia does not allow not recording of any item. Imputation rate is not available, since systematic imputation does not exist. Data have being imputed manually based on the enterprise feadback or expert judgment and currently data processing system make no differences whether data originate from enterpises or they are imputed manually by CBS staff. Impact of COVID 19 There was no impact of covid 19 on data sending |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
Timing of delivery to Eurostat: RODCOM First results are delivering to Eurostat M+6 for previous year results. Final PRODCOM results are delivering M+9 to Eurostat. Timing of national publication: PRODCOM first results (aggregate results) data are being published 10 months after reference year (M+10). Detailed (final) results on products level are being published 15 months after reference year (M+15). |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
Publications of PRODCOM results are always being punctual. PRODCOM first releases for 2022 have been published according to the pre-announced Calendar of Statistical Data Issues, 2023. Detailed PRODCOM results 2022 folowing Statistical report will be published according to the announced Calendar of statistical data issues, 2024, 29th of March 2024. |
|
|||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
Since Croatian PRODCOM results are comparable among Member States since it follows EU recommended methodology and PRODCOM list regulations. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
Annual PRODCOM results on product level are available since 2008 reference year based on NACE Rev.2. Annual PRODCOM results prior to 2008 (from 1995) are available on appropriate PRODCOM List required for reference year in question. There were no breaks in the series related to subcontracting jobs, because at the national level, subcontracting jobs were monitored in the same way as own production. Production under sub-contracted operations was sent to Eurostat starting with the year 2021.
|
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
Consistency with annual indicators is achieved by confrontation of annual PRODCOM data with:
|
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
Very detail micro table exist to be checked each respondent on products level (total production, value of production sold) to find possible discrepancies. Data are corrected via control programme support (SQL) always on micro basis after obtaining corrected data from enterprise (whether via direct telephone contact or by email). |
|
|||
Starting from 2012 data collection method for Annual PRODCOM survey on industrial production has been change. WEB based "on-line" questionnaires has being introduced instead of paper questionnaires (CAWI method) to reduce both burden on statistics and no respondents. Data collection chain has been change from decentralised (via county statistical office) to completely centralised (CBS headquarter). As a consequence, cost and burden” originated from statistical data collection was significantly reduced for both, respondents and statistics. Burden on respondents are also significantly reduced due to web-based data collection since the web questionnaire is prefilled and there is no cost associated with delivery of questionnaire. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
There is no clear revision policy on Croatian statistics level, except that in the case of mistake revised data is mark and explained to users in all publication. |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
The revision policy in practice depends of size of revision. In the case when major changes in methodology occurs first there are discussions with the Statistics Advisory Committee for Industry (users and producers) about the proposed new Statistical Standards: these are issued after agreement, with description of major changes or revisions under chapter Comparability with previous data series. The Annual Implementation Plan (Annual statistical programme), 2023 also includes such information’s which are available on CBS website (free of charge). Users are informed on minor methodological changes in Note on methodology which is a part of the First release and all related publications announced in the Calendar of Statistical Issues, 2023 which is all available on CBS website (free of charge). |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
Annual PRODCOM survey on Industrial Production (IND-21/PRODCOM/G form) is the main source of information for PRODCOM products within NKD 2007. (=NACE Rev.2) sections B, C, D& E36. The survey covers approximately 90% of total value added (VA) of industry on 4-digits levels of the NKD 2007 (=NACE Rev.2). A data are obtained from a annual industrial survey for all units with 10 or more persons employed but in particular cases less than 10 are covered when it is not possible to achieve 90 % of value added on NKD 2007 on 4-digits level. |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Annual |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
Customized web-based questionnaires (CAWI method of data collection) are being used for data collection from 2012. Reporting units are obliged to fulfil the data concerning their production annually in period from 15th of March to 15th of May in current year for previous year data via CBS web-site. |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
The CBS industrial experts perform all cross-checking, necessary correction after phone call-back procedure for suspicious data, and if it is necessary visiting respondent will be advanced - that is the long-term practice of industrial statistics department to obtain data of good quality. Processing is being verified automatically through established procedures of data treatment and validation within production quantities and quantities and values of production sold are confronting and crosschecking with previous year data. Validation includes: cross cutting checks, checks with previous data, evolution checks (very strict criteria). All processing steps from validation to computing is carrying out in automatic IT support system (SQL) and before the data are to be prepared for transmitting to Eurostat. The structure of the file and the format of the data to be sent to Eurostat are derived from national formats of final results as well as plausibility checks and consistency checks which are incorporated in national data validation system. The file format for Eurostat is formatted as Excel file as required by GESMES/TS Guide. Eurostat specific validation checks are carrying out as well. |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
Data are compiled on aggregate PRODCOM product level as well as of NACE Rev.2 levels. Additionally, data are compiled on Croatian counties level (only NACE sections). |
