Quality

The mission of Statistics Netherlands is to publish reliable and coherent statistical information that meets the needs of society. In view of this mission, the quality of the statistical information must be guaranteed.

For this reason Statistics Netherlands has introduced a system of quality assurance which is based on the highest international criteria. Statistics Netherlands aims to be one of the best-performing statistical institutes in an international perspective in terms of quality, without using complex and detailed quality systems.
