  1. 27th Voorburg Group Meeting on Services Statistics Updated Sector Paper on Industry ISIC 712 Technical testing and analysis Liam Murray Warsaw, Poland October 1st - 5th, 2012

  2. Papers and presentations • Mini presentations Turnover: • Agnieszka Matulska-Bachura – Central Statistical Office of Poland • Jutta Oertel – Federal Statistical Office of Germany • Jakob Kalko – Statistics Norway • Mini presentations SPPI: • Jakob Kalko – Statistics Norway • Marcel Spanjaard – Statistics Netherlands • Johanna Von Borstel - Federal Statistical Office of Germany • Revised SPPI guide: • Ildikó Hamvainé Holocsy- Hungarian Statistical Office)

  3. Industry classification • NACE rev.2 (71.20) and ISIC rev.4 (7120) directly comparable (no detailed subgroups): • Technical Testing and analysis: This class includes the performance of physical, chemical and other analytical testing of all types of materials and products such as: • Acoustics and vibration testing • Testing of composition and purity of minerals etc. • Testing activities in the field of food hygiene, including veterinary testing and control in relation to food production • Testing of physical characteristics and performance of materials, such as strength, durability, radioactivity etc. • Qualification and reliability testing • Performance testing of complete machinery: motors, automobiles, electronic equipment etc. • Radiographic testing of welds and joints • Failure analysis • Testing and measuring of environmental indicators: air and water pollution • Certification of products, including consumer goods, motor vehicle, aircraft, pressurised containers, nuclear plants etc. • Periodic road-safety testing of motor vehicles • Testing with use of models or mock-ups (e.g. of aircraft, ships, dams etc.) • Operation of police laboratories • This class excludes testing of animal specimens and diagnostic imaging, testing and analysis of medical and dental specimens.

  4. Industry classification • NAICS 2007 - 541380 Testing Laboratories • Very similar to ISIC/NACE in that no separate subgroups but description is more complete: • Similar includes to ISIC/NACE but much more detail – 33 separate ‘includes’ • ANZSIC(2006) 6925 - Scientific testing and analysis • It is comparable to NACE and ISIC but excludes units mainly engaged in providing motor vehicle roadworthy inspections • Decomposition of current classification systems to represent national activities of technical testing • e.g. The Netherlands, Norway

  5. Product dimension • CPA 2008 (71.20) and CPC ver.2 (83.44) directly comparable • Both identify five product groups: • NAPCS Product list for NAICS 54138 (testing laboratories) – content different but similar level of detail

  6. Turnover Statistics • Definition: The sum of remuneration for rendering of services to customers and sales of merchandise, and gross income from other activities. • European countries obliged to measure both turnover and prices • SBS: Structural Business Statistics (annual turnover amongst other variables) • STS: Short Term Statistics (turnover and prices) show short term economic trends

  7. Options for Developing Turnover Statistics

  8. Turnover Statistics – progress and issues • Of the 23 countries that reported progress to the VG in 2011, 22 of them collected turnover data for the technical testing industry at the industry level • More specifically: • Norway: A mix-model approach using SBS, STS and administrative data. • Germany: SBS are produced annually and STS quarterly. Administrative data are provided by the German states tax authorities (Länder) • Poland: collects data through three surveys, namely the Annual survey on enterprises (SP), the Survey of small enterprises (SP-3) and the Business Services survey

  9. SPPI Development • Pricing unit of measure – mixed depending on the service being offered. Can be price per unit of time for more complex testing or per test/analysis etc • Distinction between administratively regulated and freely negotiated prices. E.g. in Germany prices for periodic safety tests for motor vehicles and periodic mission tests for motor vehicles are decided by federal regulation Voorburg 2011 - Technical Testing - 19th to 23rd September 2011

  10. Recommended options for SPPI

  11. SPPI Development – quality issues • Main quality adjustment methods used: overlap and expert judgment • Prices for exports should be monitored to ensure exchange rate movements are controlled • Where companies are subsidiaries of multinational companies, prices might be set by the parent company Voorburg 2011 - Technical Testing - 19th to 23rd September 2011
