Statistical Yearbook of the Czech Republic

According to Act No. 89/1995 Coll., on the State Statistical Service, as last amended, the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO) is responsible for producing and updating statistical classifications and nomenclatures for statistical purposes.

The classifications make it possible to correctly classify observed phenomena and processes and ensure that these are comparable in terms of space and time. During the 1990s the CZSO started to develop a new system of economic, social, geographic, and other classifications which stem from valid international standards (of the UN and the EU in particular). The new classification system corresponds with the economic and social environment and the international integration of the Czech Republic (CR). At present, the CZSO and the departmental units of the Czech State Statistical Service use the following statistical classifications and nomenclatures:
