Abstract
In response to the request from the Statistics Committee of the Cabinet Office, JSQC organized “Statistics and Data Quality Management Research Group” from 2010 to 2012 to study quality assurance of official statistics and the JSQC standard 89-001 is based on the group’s simulated audits of the government statistics agencies and the local governments based on ISO 20252. In this paper, together with the outline of this standard, we introduce the influence of this standard on quality assurance activities of the official statistics in Japan.
