Reference metadata describe statistical concepts and methodologies used for the collection and generation of data. They provide information on data quality and, since they are strongly content-oriented, assist users in interpreting the data. Reference metadata, unlike structural metadata, can be decoupled from the data.

3.1. Data description
For calculation of index of service production (ISP) the following source data are used:
turnover in the given year
turnover in the base year
value added in the base year for calculation of weights
price indices in the given month to the base year.
All data are index data calculated from source data in the following forms: unadjusted, calendar adjusted, calendar and seasonally adjusted.
3.2. Classification system
Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community - NACE Rev. 2 is used for ISP calculation.
3.3. Coverage - sector
ISP is calculated for economic activities in sections G to N (with exception of K, M70.1, M72, M75).
Results of ISP are presented for aggregations at section level (1-digit) and at division level (2-digit) of NACE Rev. 2 and for aggregates G to N, H to N (with exception of K, M70.1, M72, M75) and M69+M70.2.
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions
Index of services production provides information on changes over time in the volume of output of the service sector. It is defined as the ratio of the volume output produced by the services industries in the given time period to the volume produced by the same industries in a specified base period. As the base period, year 2021 is used.
The indicator "turnover" is used in evaluation of the service sector output. It needs to be deflated in the compilation process using the set of price indices. The source of turnover data are four monthly statistical surveys (in transport, in information and communication, in trade, catering and accommodation and in selected market services).Turnover comprises the totals invoiced by the observation unit during the reference period, and this corresponds to market sales of goods or services supplied to third parties. It includes all duties and taxes on the goods or services invoiced by the unit with exception of VAT and other deductible taxes directly linked to turnover. Excise duty is excluded from the variable as well.
Price deflators are calculated from the results of:
quarterly surveys on prices in transport, information and communication services and in selected market services
survey on consumer prices - indices are calculated as a weighted average of indices of selected items in the consumer basket.
Missing monthly price indices are extracted from quarterly indices using linear interpolation.
Calculation of weights for the basic year was made using the indicator “value-added at factor costs”, which was obtained from the SBS survey and aggregated in the same way as turnover data.
Calculation of the index of service production for NACE rev. 2 is realised using the Laspeyres type of index.
3.5. Statistical unit

6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements
The reporting obligation to submit statistical questionnaires is laid down in Act no. 540/2001 Coll. on state statistics as amended (§ 18, paragraph 3) and cannot be refused (§ 18, paragraph 8). The Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic is responsible for the protection of confidential data obtained and guarantees their use exclusively for statistical purposes. The statistical surveys are part of the Program of State Statistical Surveys issued for a three-year period in the Collection of Laws of the Slovak Republic.
Statistical information from SOSR's surveys is a source for fulfilling the obligations of the Slovak Republic resulting from the requirements of the European statistical system, the requirements of international institutions, to ensure the needs of the information system of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. ISP data are regularly provided to Eurostat with monthly periodicity in line with the Regulation 2019/2152 on European business statistics (EBS) in SDMX format since 2018. Data are irregularly provided to other users.
7.1. Confidentiality - policy
The Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic is responsible for the protection of confidential data obtained and guarantees their use exclusively for statistical purposes. In accordance with the Act on State Statistics No. 540/2001 Coll. §2g and §30, the SOSR may not publish confidential statistical data, but only information resulting from the aggregation of confidential statistical data, which does not allow direct or indirect identification of the reporting unit.
The Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic has introduced principles and procedures for the protection of confidential data in internal directives and instructions. The directive on the protection of confidential statistical data regulates the method of management and implementation of activities related to ensuring the protection of confidential statistical data in the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. The internal methodological instruction of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic regulates specific methods and parameter values used in the protection of confidential statistical data of individual statistical surveys and data sets.
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment
SOSR ensures the protection of confidential statistical data in disseminated data. SOSR applies in all cases the rule of minimum frequency for n = 3 and dominance of 90%. Values in sensitive cells and also values in other cells, that are not sensitive, are marked with a flag ("D") in order to prevent a sufficiently accurate primary and secondary confidentiality treatment.

Following internal project documentation exists for the compilation of statistical outputs:
Technical projects within the Integrated Statistical Information System called ISIS
Methodological guidelines for applying mathematical-statistical methods for statistical surveys
Methodological guidelines for quality indicators of statistical outputs and statistical processes.
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 meet requirements.
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.
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 collection process itself. Data validation is done during the data collection, processing and validation of relevant data by the SOSR experts. A data comparison is done with previous periods. Statistics are available in the system to evaluate the quality of the completed questionnaires, the number of questionnaires with errors or outliers, the number of reminders etc. SOSR also performs internal methodical audits. Evaluation of statistical surveys and methodological audits including the analysis of the results are integrated into the existing quality management system.
STS compliance assessment is carried out by Eurostat. Concerning the results of particular data production processes, the overall quality of the indicators is considered to be as good.
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 e.g. Eurostat.
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.
Time series of indicators in accordance with the regulation are available from 2010 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
Sampling errors are monitored during data processing.
13.3. Non-sampling error
The technical project of data processing is part of ISIS. This project includes a description of all logical data controls at the microdata level performed during electronic data collection. 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 offices of the SOSR. 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 non-responses, 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.
Accuracy of source data entering into ISP calculation is provided in respective reference metadata (turnover, price indices).

14.1. Timeliness
Data are released in line with the Release calendar. There are no differences in timeliness between the different aggregation levels or between the statistical variables presented.
Data dissemination in the public database Datacube is in accordance with the set up deadlines. Data are released two months after the reference month.
14.2. Punctuality
Publication deadlines were met.
15.1. Comparability - geographical
Index of service production is calculated for the whole territory of the Slovak Republic. The same statistical concepts are applied for entire area of the Slovak Republic.
15.2. Comparability - over time
Using the base year 2021, data series for from 2010 onwards were calculated and are comparable.
15.3. Coherence - cross domain
The following analysis of souce data is done:
Comparison of turnover data from monthly surveys with structural business statistics results;
Comparison of trends in the STS data with the business tendency survey.
The analysis shows good compliance.
15.4. Coherence - internal
There are no problems with internal consistency of the Index of services production.
Not applicable. See metadata for turnover and prices.
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 ŠÚ SR.
incorporation of better quality data based on a more complete source, including replacing imputations with collected data,
correction of data as a result of updating seasonal factors and changing the base period,
data modification based on more accurate methodology (in concepts, definitions and classifications) and changes in statistical methods,
performing corrections in source data and calculations.
In terms of time, SOSR divides the revisions into
ordinary revisions are revisions without significant modifications of the methodologies. These are usually more significant data corrections, including large values obtained from new sources. They are carried out periodically on precisely set up dates, to update monthly and quarterly data, until the next publication of the data.
annual revisions are revisions that are made when all monthly and quarterly data are available and more detailed results from annual surveys are already available.
extraordinary and major revisions are revisions of definitive data due to significant methodological changes resulting from revision of methodologies, changes in procedures and statistical-mathematical calculation methods or data corrections. An extraordinary revision may result (e.g. by changing the definition) in break in time series data comparability.
At present, numeric information on the size of revisions of data is not available.
Coherence of the revision policy is respected for the data released nationally and disseminated to Eurostat.
17.2. Data revision - practice
The main source of information for revisions are new or revised data from reporting units. The aggregates and components are then revised and disseminated at the same time. The publication of revised data is communicated in advance by a notice of revision indicating the date of publication of the revised data. The notice is published on the website of the SOSR at least 2 days before the publication of the revised data. Information on regular and annual revisions is also part of the methodological explanatory notes of the relevant monthly, quarterly and annual publications and relevant databases of the SOSR, as long as the revisions apply to the data in databases. Revised data are usually supplemented with information about the reason and revision evaluation, which are published on the portal at the time of publication revised data. At present, numeric information on the size of revisions of data is not relevant due to the change of the observation unit to the Kind of Activity unit and the base year.

18.1. Source data
Source data on turnover are the following:
1.) Monthly statistical surveys in the respective field (trade, catering and accommodation, selected market services, transportation and storage, information and communication):
Reporting units with principal activity in Divisions 45, 46, 55, 56, 49-53, 58-63, 68-71, 73, 74, 77-82 of SK NACE Rev. 2. with 20 and more employees registered in the Statistical business register and enterprises in the Statistical Business Register with less than 20 employees that have an annual turnover in excess of 5 Mill. EUR. Stratified random survey of small enterprises with less than 20 employees based on the activity, employment (0-9, 10-19, 20+ employees).
There are estimates on data for small enterprises from the monthly sample survey and on the self-employed persons based on data from the business register and from data obtained from the social insurance company
Source data on price deflators are from the following statistical surveys:
Consumer price survey - covers NACE Rev. 2 = G45.1-45.4, G47.1-47.9, I55.1-55.3, I55.9, I56.1-56.3, H49.10 (COICOP 07.31), H49.31 (COICOP 07.32), H4932 (COICOP 07.32), H49.39 (COICOP 07.32), H51.10 (COICOP 07.33), H51.21 (COICOP07.33), H51.22 (COICOP 07.33), I55.1-55.3, I55.9, I56.1-56.3, J58.1 (COICOP 09.5), J58.2 (COICOP 09.5), J59.1 (COICOP 09.42), J59.2 (COICOP 09.42), J60.1 (COICOP 09.42), J60.2 (COICOP 09.42), J61.3 (COICOP 08.3), J61.9 (COICOP 08.3), M74.1 (COICOP 09.42), M74.2 (COICOP 09.42), N79.1 (COICOP 09.6), N79.9 (COICOP 09.6). Indices are calculated as a weighted average of indices of selected items in the consumer basket.
18.2. Frequency of data collection
Monthly data compilation of ISP. Source turnover and price indices data are monthly. Monthly price indices for transport and selected market services are extracted from available quarterly price indices.
18.3. Data collection
The regional offices of the SOSR are responsible for data collection. From January 1, 2016, reporting units (legal entities, natural persons - entrepreneurs) are required to electronically submit statistical reports in accordance with the amendment to Act No. 540/2001 Coll. on state statistics as amended by Act no. 326/2014 Coll. (hereinafter referred to as the law), which contains new rules for submitting statistical questionnaires.
The completed statistical questionnaire must be submitted electronically no later than the 25th day after the reference period 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.
More detailed information on data collection of source data is described in the respective reference metadata (turnover, price indices).
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:
1/ Formal checks, which are realised in the process of data entry automatically; (compatible with Validation level 0 and 1)
2/ Informal checks aim of which is to control the complexity and relations among the variables ((compatible with Validation level from 2 to 5).
According to the importance there are classified 2 basic types of checks:
I – Informative checks- this check gives the additional information, which is important for the following process of corrections. It informs also about some inconsistencies in the state of fulfilment of the questionnaire, about item non-response, exceeding stated limits etc.
Z – Check of great importance - it is mostly check indicating the exact error and it must be always corrected or explained.
Most of the errors are directly consulted with the reporting units by our regional offices.
18.5. Data compilation
Non-response is treated by the imputation of data from the previous month´s survey, up to a maximum of three months.
The results of small enterprises are grossed up using Horwitz-Thomson estimator with regard to the activity of the enterprise.The initial weights are modified according to the non-response rate of non-active units. Estimates of turnover for self-employed persons are made on the base of administrative sources.
Index of services production is calculated as the ratio of the volume output produced by the services industries in the given time period to the volume produced by the same industries in a specified base period. As the base period, year 2015 was used. The indicator "turnover" is used in evaluation of the service sector output. It is deflated in the compilation process using the set of price indices obtained from the Price statistics department. Price indices are calculated from the results of the survey on market prices and of the consumer price survey, when indices are calculated as weighted average of indices of the selected items in the consumer basket.
Calculation of weights for the basic year was made using the indicator “value-added at factor costs”, which was obtained from the SBS survey and aggregated in the same way as turnover data. Calculation of the index of service production for NACE rev. 2 aggregates at section level, division level and for aggregates G to N, H to N (with exception of K, M70.1, M72, M75) and M69 + M70.2 is realised using the Laspeyres type of index.
18.6. Adjustment
SOSR uses JDemetra+, version 2.2, using TRAMO-SEATS method. As refresh from period to period we use partial concurrent adjustment + Last outliers. Concurrent adjustment is done once a year.
SOSR usually uses predefined models, but this can be changed if we can not find seasonality correctly. In this case we communicate with our colleague responsible for seasonal adjustment at our NSI.
For details on adjustments of the particular variables please see the annexes.
For calculation of index of service production (ISP) the following source data are used:
turnover in the given year
turnover in the base year
value added in the base year for calculation of weights
price indices in the given month to the base year.
All data are index data calculated from source data in the following forms: unadjusted, calendar adjusted, calendar and seasonally adjusted.
