Statistical concepts and definitions
|
"Designated" status is given to a protected area when an appropriate authority formally approves a designation document based on national legislation or common practice (eg by issuing an ordinance, etc.). Designation as a protected area should be organized for the purpose of protecting biodiversity and not for any other activity (eg military). Areas that contribute significantly to the global availability of biodiversity are defined based on the global standard criteria for defining 'Key Biodiversity Areas' (IUCN 2016) applied at national levels. To date, two variants of these standard criteria have been applied in all countries. The first is to identify 'Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas', i.e. areas that contribute significantly to the global presence of biodiversity (defined using bird data). More than 12,000 such areas have been identified in all countries of the world (BirdLife International, 2014). The second is the Alliance for Zero Extinction sites (Ricketts et al. 2005), i.e. at least one species assessed as 'Critically Endangered' or 'Endangered' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. to identify areas that effectively support the entire population. In total, 587 Alliance for Zero Depletion sites have been identified for 920 species of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, conifers and coral polyps. A global standard for defining these “Key Biodiversity Areas” has been endorsed by IUCN (2016), which integrates these approaches and other mechanisms for identifying areas of importance for other species and ecosystems.

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

|
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.
