3.1 Data description The volume of gases emitted into the atmosphere is determined by the calculation method. According to Annex A of the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the list of gases that produce thermal effects includes: carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), hydrofluorocarbons, sulfur fluoride (SF6), perfluoride.
3.2 Classification system Classification by Types of Economic Activity
3.3 Sector coverage Sections A, B, C, D, E, J, M, F, G, H, I, O, S.
3.4 Statistical concepts and definitions Gases that create a thermal effect on the atmosphere are gases that cause climate change.

11 1 Quality management
11.1 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.
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.
