| description of the methods for assessing the quality of surveys, with particular application in the context of business surveys, and then to apply these methods in some example surveys to evaluate their quality. The work was specified and initiated by Eurostat following on from the Working Group on Quality of Business Statsitics.

The report is divided into four volumes, of which this is the fourth. This volume deals with the experiences obtained in putting together the model assessments in volume III, and gives advice and guidelines for implementation in other surveys. This volume also includes reports of visits to other member states which were used to broaden the descriptions and make them more useful. Other volumes of the report contain: · a review and development of the theory and methods for assessing quality in business surveys (volume I); · a comparison of the software methods and packages available for variance estimation in sample surveys (volume II); · example assessments of quality for an annual and a monthly business survey from Sweden and the UK (volume III).
