11 1 Quality management
11.1 Quality assurance The State Statistics Committee applies a quality management system in accordance with the international standard ISO 9001. In 2013, the State Statistics Committee conducted an external audit of the quality management system, and in August of that year for the first time in the field of "Production and dissemination of official statistics" ISO 9001: 2008 International certificate of conformity was obtained. After the change in the international standard in 2015, all the documents of the quality management system were redesigned in accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001: 2015. Based on the results of the certification audit conducted on March 9-10, 2017, the staff of the State Statistics Committee and 13 local statistical bodies to which the GIS was applied, then based on the results of the re-certification audit conducted on March 2-06, 2020, the staff of the State Statistics Committee and 17 other local statistical bodies to which GIS is applied have been awarded the ISO 9001: 2015 international certificate of conformity in the field of “Production and dissemination of official statistics” (http://www.stat.gov.az/menu/2/quality/az/sertifikat_2015.pdf ). Since 2012, the General Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) has been applied to standardize the production of statistical products. On the basis of the national version of "Statistical Business - General Model of the Process" (on the application of SBPUM (GSBPM) in the management of statistical processes in tourism statistics) a description of statistical processes was prepared (https://www.stat.gov.az/menu/2/quality/az/gsbpm/service/sv03_sb.pdf ) At least once a year, seminars on GIS are organized for employees of structural units of the apparatus and local statistical bodies. In 2010 and 2017, European Statistics The Bureau (Eurostat), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) have conducted a Global Assessment of the National Statistical System of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and improvements are being made in this area.  Seminars on QMS are organized for the staff of the structural units and local statistical bodies at least once a year. In 2010 and 2017, Global Assessments of the National Statistical System of the Republic of Azerbaijan were conducted by the European Statistical Office (Eurostat), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). In line with the recommendations of experts, improvement activities in this area are being carried out.
11.2 Quality assessment

On the basis of the “Audit Program” approved annually, internal audits are carried out in the departments of the Office and in the local statistical bodies where the GIS is applied. Audit teams are formed to conduct audits and an individual audit plan is approved for each structural unit. The audit team conducts inspections in accordance with the audit plan. Internal monitoring of quality aspects in the State Statistics Committee is carried out in a centralized manner by the authorized structural unit (Quality Management and Metadata Department) and an annual “Analysis by Management” document is prepared and submitted to the management based on the results of audits. The members of the audit team (auditors) are instructed before each audit by the auditor general, as well as through seminars organized at least once a year. The activity of the State Statistics Committee is “Quality management systems. Requirements ”ISO 9001: 2015 is one of the strongest strengths. Increased workload due to incomplete transition to electronic documentation and parallel paperwork, late adaptation of staff (employees) to the requirements of the new standards are the weakest weaknesses.
