Explanatory Note

Statistics (Census of Industrial Production) Order, 2003

S.I. No. 9 of 2003

The Census of Industrial Production comprises of two separate but closely related annual inquiries, namely

(i) the Census of Industrial Enterprises (required under EC Directive), which covers those enterprises which are wholly or primarily engaged in industrial production and have three of more persons engaged.

(ii) the Census of Industrial Local Units which covers all industrial local units with three or more persons engaged.

An enterprise is defined as the smallest combination of legal units that is an organisational unit producing goods and services, which benefits from a degree of autonomy in decision making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. A local unit is defined as an enterprise or part thereof situated in a geographically identified place.

The Census relates in principle to the calendar year and is conducted by post. Following collection of the data, provisional overall results are released covering turnover, wages and salaries, labour costs, net output, gross output, persons engaged for the manufacturing industry, mining, quarrying, turf production together with electricity, gas and water supply.
