Output and employment estimates for 1995 to 1999 are primarily based on previous STAN estimates converted from ISIC Rev. 3. These in turn were based on INE 'base 1995' SNA93 data, while estimates for 1986 to 1994 are based on INE's 'base 1986' SNA68 data and estimates for 1980 to 1985 are based on INE's 'base 1980' SNA68 data.

Estonia joined the eurozone on 1st January 2011 hence STAN data are now presented in euros with data converted from EEK using the irrevocable exchange rate of 15.6466 Kroon per Euro. In general, to present data covering years prior to a country's accession to the EMU, data in 'old' national denomination are converted into 'national euro' by applying the irrevocable conversion rate established in the year of accession. This preserves the time profile of all historical national series. The recommended label for such data is '[year of accession] [ISO currency code] euro', in this case 2011 EEK euro. Note that since this method is conceptually equivalent to changing the denomination of the national currency, generating Euro area aggregates of data for periods prior to countries' accession years - on the basis of the fixed conversion rates - has little economic meaning.

Publication of GFCF is scheduled by ONS for 2013 (see note 4.)
PROD, VALU: At basic prices
EMPN, EMPE: Number of Jobs, annual averages of seasonally adjusted quarterly series (see note 2. below)

'Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas' (ISIC 06) includes 'Mining of metal ores' (ISIC 07)
'Railroad equipment and transport equipment n.e.c.' (ISIC 302A9) includes 'Military fighting vehicles' (ISIC 304)
'Telecommunications' (ISIC 61) includes 'Programming and broadcasting activities' (ISIC 60)
Latest ONS Supply-Use tables, 2003-2011, cover an identical set of industries compared with earlier SUTs (1997-2002).
Employment and employee jobs (EMPN and EMPE) in STAN differ from the aggregates published in the ONS Blue Book (Table 2.5) which are figures as at June each year (not seasonally adjusted) rather than annual averages of seasonally adjusted quarterly series. Detailed UK employee jobs estimated with GB data. Level of detail for estimates of EMPN constrained by availability of self-employed data.
UK Value Added volumes (VALK) for mining, manufacturing and utilities are based on indices of production (IOPs). For other activities, such as services, the 'Output index' is derived by deflating estimates of turnover coming from a range of ONS enquiries. Volumes for aggregate industries are calculated using annually re-weighted chained Laspeyres methodology (i.e. current price value added data for the previous year are used as weights). To preserve historical growth rates, earlier series (based on previous base years) have been linked for all activities, including aggregates.
GFCF and Capital Stocks source: 'A redevelopment of the ONS production process for both Inventories and GFCF estimates is already underway. The current time frame includes a target date for full implementation of Blue Book 2013 to allow sufficient time for thorough testing and integration within the core national accounts' see link below

The revision works for 2000-2004 have not yet been completed (except from the implementation of the new classification NACE Rev.2) and thus there is a break in the series, between the unrevised data of 2000-2004 provided here and the revised data of 2005-2011 shown in the same table.

Agriculture (01-03) includes Veterinary Medicine (75)
Earlier vintages of SNA data were used to generate estimates for earlier years - including old SNA68 data, available for 1970-1998 with a base year of 1990. Information from I-O tables and the 2010 edition of the JIP database were used to provide estimates for detailed activities not present in SNA93 tables - particularly for services. Results from METI's annual manufacturing census (2007-08 results in JSIC 2007; 2002-07 in JSIC 2002; and 1985-2003 in JSIC 1993) were used to estimate additional detail for manufactures for current price output and employment measures.
The Japan Industrial Productivity (JIP) Database, compiled in a collaboration between the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) and Hitotsubashi University, was used for certain measures as an input source into STAN estimation procedures with the kind permission of the authors: Professor Kyoji Fukao et al. The database covers 107 economic activities for the period 1970-2007 and can be downloaded at http://www.rieti.go.jp/en/database/index.html.
Investment and Capital Stock tables by activity are not yet available from official SNA93 sources.

The Bank of Korea made significant revisions to National Accounts throughout 2009. Volumes are now aggregated using annually re-weighted chained Laspeyres methodology with a national reference year of 2005 (rather than 2000 fixed base Laspeyres). Also, new industry breakdown was introduced based on 9th revision of Korean SIC which includes an Information sector similar to those in NAICS and ISIC Rev.4. Changes also reflect the results of the 2008 Census on Establishments (which used KSIC 9) and improvements in inter-industry relation tables and estimation methodologies.
Production, Value Added, Labour Costs and other VA components provided by Bank of Korea. Aggregate employment data originate from the Korean Statistical Office (namely the Economically Active Population Survey). Estimates of employment (EMPN and EMPE) for detailed manufacturing activities are based on monthly business survey data.

INEGI substantially revised its National Accounts in 2008 publishing new results from 2003 onwards. The revisions were made in order to better conform to recommendations of SNA93, make use of a richer set of basic statistics coming from 2004 economic census, ensure consistency with new 2003 benchmark Input-Output tables and to introduce NAICS 2002 as the industry classification (previously CMAP). More details in the link below (in Spanish). The revision resulted in major changes to the industry composition of value added (and other measures). For example, during the period 1995-2004, Oil and gas extraction (ISIC 11) previously accounted for about 1% of total value added, now for 2004 it accounts for 6.6% rising to 9.3% in 2008. This is due to a new treatment of the extraction rights of PEMEX (the state-owned petroleum company) - they are now treated as 'other taxes on production' of the activity 'Oil and Gas extraction' (NAICS 211) whereas previously, they were treated as 'taxes on products' and were recorded as such in the 'tax less subsidies on products' item in the aggregate 'GDP (output approach)' account. For 2004, this revision shifted about 360 billion pesos (or 4.2% of total GDP) to ISIC 11 Value Added. Also, the value added share for 'Community, Social and Personal Services' (ISIC 75-99) has dropped from 17-20% for 1995-2004 before the revision to about 13.5% for 2004, 12.7% by 2008.
Discussions are ongoing with INEGI and they will endeavour to produce SNA by industry estimates for earlier years (back to 1993) based on the new definitions.
