About the statistics
A detailed distribution of sold production and quantity, in accordance with the EU production statistics PRODCOM. Sold production is divided into 8-9-digit production codes and aggregated up to industries to make them comparable with other types of manufacturing statistics.
A local kind-of-activity unit
A local kind-of-activity unit (KAU) is a functional unit which at a single physical location is engaged mainly in activities within a specific activity group. This definition conforms to the definition by ISIC Rev. 3.
An enterprise
An enterprise is an organisational unit comprising all economic activities which one owner is involved inside. Hence an enterprise is a legal unit covering one or more production units (local KAUs).
The following guidelines are used in order to divide the activity of an enterprise into separate local KAUs:
- Activities engaged in by an enterprise in different municipalities are treated as separate local KAUs.
- Activities in different industry groups (4-digit) can be classified as separate local KAUs when this is necessary for statistical purposes, even if the activities are located at the same site. To divide a local unit into several local KAUs, each activity has to be of a certain size and normally has to employ at least five people. Exceptions to this rule can be made, particularly if it causes great problems for the respondents.
Sold production
Sold production is defined as manufactured and sold goods in the reference period.
Sold production under sub-contracted operations
Sold production under sub-contracted operations is the value of the production under sub-contracted operations.
The current Standard for Industrial Classification in Statistics Norway is Standard Industrial Classification 2007 (SIC 2007) , based on the EU standard NACE Rev. 2. The standard is published in the NOS series (Official Statistics of Norway) C 182.
Previously published articles follow the SIC2002.

Division for Structural Business Statistics
National level.
Annual statistics. Published 6 months after the end of the reference year. (These figures are seen as preliminary and final figures are checked against structural business statistics 18 months after the referance year).
Reported to Eurostat
| Collected and revised data are stored securely by Statistics Norway in compliance with applicable legislation on data processing. Statistics Norway can grant access to the source data (de-identified or anonymised microdata) on which the statistics are based, for researchers and public authorities for the purposes of preparing statistical results and analyses. Access can be granted upon application and subject to conditions. Refer to the details about this at Access to data from Statistics Norway. |
The purpose of the statistics is to produce and publish reliable information on the production and sale of goods and services in manufacturing, mining and quarrying. The production statistics has been based on the Prodcom system, which is based on NACE Rev 2. since 1995.
Statistics Norway have prepared a manufacturing production statistics since 1927. The data is easily accessible in electronic form dating back to 1976.
Key users are the national accounts and strctural business statistics, both of which produced by Statistics Norway, publis authorities, research institutions and Eurostat.
No external users have access to the statistics and analyses before they are published and accessible simultaneously for all users on ssb.no at 8 am. Prior to this, a minimum of three months' advance notice is given inthe Statistics Release Calendar. This is one of Statistics Norway’s key principles for ensuring that all users are treated equally.
The production statistics is coherent with the structural business statistics for the manufacturing industry.
The statistics are developed, produced and disseminated pursuant to Act no. 32 of 21 June 2019 relating to official statistics and Statistics Norway (the Statistics Act).
The statistics is part of the national program for official statistics 2021-2023, section energy and manufacturing, subsection manufacturing, mining and quarrying.
Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on European business statistics (EBS)
The production statistics covers large enterprises with local KAUs in manufacturing, mining and quarrying. These enterprises represent 90 per cent of the total production in manufacturing, mining and quarrying.
The production statistics is based on information collected in questionnaires sent to the respondents.

The net selection consists of establishments in the population that Statistics Norway have collected data from directly. This selection amounts to approximately 2300 establishments About 90 percent of the total gross production value in manufacturing, mining and quarrying came from these establishments.
The survey is based on questionnaires that are sent out in March in the year following the reference year. The Prodcom codes are printed on the questionnaires. The data are reported to Statistics Norway through Altinn.
The average time spent on reporting data is 30 minutes per year per respondent.
From 2002 the focus in the production statistics has been on local KAUs. Forms are sent to approximately 100 enterprises on establishment level and to about 25 units on industry level.
From 2009 all forms are sent to the establishment, but all local KAUs, that are part of the survay, are printed on the letter to the establishment. Only the one survey for the sum om all local KAUs are used.
Editing
Editing is defined here as checking, examining and amending data.
For the single units in the sample there are quality controls. The figures are compared with the figures from the previous year and other sources. If errors are suspected or if figures are missing, the respondent in question is contacted via telephone or e-mail.
Imputation occurs only on the volume data, ie the value figures are not calculated.
Importantly, estimates of volume figures where possible. For each PRODCOM code there will be obtained volume (where applicable) and estimated volumes for the units that have not submitted this. The criterion for imputed volume figures is that the difference in the "price" (ie value / quantity) is not too large for the units used in the calculation of imputation. There must be at least three units providing value and quantity data for any given PRODCOM code to create a valide imputation for the missing volumes. Imputation will not be made if the size of the value of those that can be used for the calculation is smaller than those that will get the imputation.
Not relevant
Employees of Statistics Norway have a duty of confidentiality.
Statistics Norway does not publish figures if there is a risk of the respondent’s contribution being identified. This means that, as a general rule, figures are not published if fewer than three units form the basis of a cell in a table or if the contribution of one or two respondents constitutes a very large part of the cell total.
Statistics Norway can make exceptions to the general rule if deemed necessary to meet the requirements of the EEA agreement, if the respondent is a public authority, if the respondent has consented to this, or when the information disclosed is openly accessible to the public.
More information can be found on Statistics Norway’s website under Methods in official statistics, in the ‘Confidentiality’ section.
As from 1976, are the main files of the production statistics stored electronically (and some times even further back, but mainly for larger enterprises). The data are chiefly comparable with regard to coverage and continous with respect of terms ut to 1993.
Measurement errors
Measurement errors are errors that occur during data collection and are caused by the survey instrument: the form, questionnaire or measuring device used or data collection may lead to the recording of wrong values. A typical error may be use of wrong scale, such as sums given in crowns (kroner) instead of thousand crowns.
Processing errors
Processing errors are errors introduced during data processing in Statistics Norway, such as coding, data entry, data editing, imputation etc. A typical example is wrong interpretation of digits and letters written on paper forms during optical scanning.
Non-response errors
Non-response errors are errors caused by unit non-response , i.e. that the unit (here an enterprise or an establishment) has failed to respond, or item non-response , i.e. that the unit has failed to respond to some of the questions in the survey.
Sampling errors
Sampling errors arise from the fact that the estimates are based on a sample and not a census of the entire population. The sampling error is measures by the standard error .
When publishing figures in late June for T-1. Becomes audit done on the figures of T-2 after the publication of structural business statistics (sti) for mining and industry, these changes are loaded in our statistikkbank and used in the publication.
