Data Coverage

The Yearbook contains data in physical quantities, as well as in monetary value of production. It is therefore organized in two volumes, namely Volume I: Physical Quantity Data and Volume II: Monetary Value Data.

Data reported for the products in the Yearbook reflect value and volume of production sold during the survey period, which is defined as the production carried out at some time, which has been sold (invoiced) during the reference period.

Scope

The data cover products produced by mining, manufacturing and electricity and gas units, i.e. units classified in sections B, C and D of ISIC Revision 4. The products may be outputs of primary or secondary production. The data does not cover output of units classified outside of these ISIC sections.

Further technical details on the Industrial Commodity Statistics Yearbook are avialable in the technical notes.
