Volume index of industrial output: documentation of statistics
The documentation of the statistics describes how the statistics were compiled and what methods were used in the compilation. The data help interpret the figures of the statistics and evaluate their reliability and comparability. The quality report is based on the EU's SIMS model. The documentation also contains change releases describing changes in the statistics and possible specifying methodological descriptions.

Quality report
Data description (SIMS 3.1)
The volume index of industrial output describes the change in the monthly volume of industrial output at fixed prices. The purpose of the statistics is to provide fast and reliable information on the cyclical development in manufacturing at a detailed industry level.
Concepts and definitions (SIMS 3.4)
Annual volume index of industrial output
The sample-based monthly volume index is adjusted retrospectively (currently after about 18 months) against an annual volume index of industrial output. The annual volume index of industrial output is calculated by dividing changes in gross value by industry by a unit value index calculated with data from statistics on manufacturing commodities (volumes and values by establishment). The obtained Paasche's volume index is regarded as a substitute to value added at fixed prices.
Capacity utilisation rate in manufacturing
Percentage of the production capacity of manufacturing that is in use during a statistical reference month. The statistics are based on data collected monthly from establishments.
Volume index of industrial output
The volume index of industrial output describes the relative change in the volume of industrial output when compared with a specific base time period. In the beginning of 2002, the index with fixed weights was replaced with an index with changing weights, which takes the structural change occurring in industry into account better than the index with fixed weights.
