The C&SD follows closely the definitions, concepts and methods on statistical matters and classification systems promulgated by international organisations such as the United Nations, International Labour Organisation and International Monetary Fund in compiling statistics. The adoption of internationally accepted standards helps ensure a definite level of quality in the statistics compiled and comparability with statistics of other economies. Major international standards adopted are listed below :
