Project’s birth

› Implementation of the Code of Practice› Insee’s self-assessement has revealed a lack of information

about quality for users › Confirmation by the peer review :

« The extensive documentation available is used mainly for internal purposes. This documentation includes detailed specifications of roles and responsibilities drawn up in the context of Insee’s systematic mobility policy. (...) A generic document containing quality guidelines remains to be drawn up, and also made known to the public. »

› Improvement action : Draw up and promulgate quality guidelines and make them available on the Insee

website (timetable 2008)

Aims and rules (1)

› Provisions exist in the Official Statistical System (SSP) but they are not organized and presented within the framework of a quality process

SO

Existing measures in the Official Statistical System (SSP) are described according to each principle and its corresponding indicators.
