Recommendation 5
National and international statistical offices, and bodies that advise them or undertake work for them, should always define clearly the accounting units or presentation units employed in published analyses. The conversion factors and the route used to convert original physical units into the chosen common accounting unit or units should also be stated, or readily available published sources where they may be found should be cited. It should also be made clear whether energy units are defined on a gross or net calorific basis.
