Abstract: Evaluating and reporting data quality of administrative sources is a growing need for National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) as more and more production processes are using this type of data source. To monitor the quality of the administrative data supply that enter the statistical production process, to evaluate its possible use for statistical purposes and to support administrative data acquisition are tasks that should be performed in the early stages of the production process. The paper reports Istat experience within the European project BLUE-ETS in developing a conceptual framework of administrative data quality based on a multidimensional approach of quality indicators and in defining a new comprehensive instrument, the Quality Report Card, that can be associated to administrative data and generally used by NSIs.
