Statistical concepts and definitions
|
State nature reserves are areas of nature protection and scientific institution or organization established for the purpose of preserving characteristic and unique natural complexes and objects in natural condition, studying the course of nature processes and phenomena. National parks are areas with special ecological, historical, aesthetic and other important nature complexes, and are protected by natural protection and scientific, cultural and other purposes. National parks are allowed to rest. Economic activity in the territory of state nature reserves is absolutely forbidden and the natural complex (land, vegetation and animal kingdom etc.) is protected and studied. Geological prospecting activities are prohibited, such as plowing, cattle grazing, tourism, hunting, fishing, cutting trees, destroying plants, generally using natural resources and breaking their natural state. Anthropogenic activity is not allowed in the reserves, all natural landscapes in the area are protected and used as a scientific center of practice. State sanctuaries are areas that are of special importance for preservation or restoration of natural complexes or their components, as well as for the preservation of ecological balance. State nature reserves may be established on land plots from landowners, users and lessees without the acquisition of land plots.

Quality assurance
|
The State Statistical Committee
implements the quality management system in accordance with the international
standard ISO 9001. In 2013 the external audit of the quality management system
was conducted in the State Statistical Committee, and in August of the same
year for the first time ISO 9001:2008 international certificate of conformity
was obtained in the direction of "Production and dissemination of official
statistical data". After a major change of the international standard in
2015, all documents of the quality management system were redesigned in
accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001:2015.
According to the results of certification audit conducted on March 09-10, 2017,
the apparatus of The State Statistical Committee and 13 local statistical offices
where QMS is applied, and then the apparatus of the State Statistics Committee
according to the results of recertification audit conducted on March 02-06,
2020 and another 17 local statistical offices where QMS is applied, then
according to the results of recertification audit conducted on February 13-17,
2023, the apparatus of the State Statistics Committee and 45 local statistical
offices where QMS "Production and dissemination of official statistical
data" is applied, have received the international certificate of
conformity 9001:2015 in the direction of "Production and dissemination of
official statistics". http://stat.gov.az/menu/2/quality/en/sertifikat_ISO_9001_2015.pdf 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.

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.
