Data quality
Systematic plausibility checks of the data were performed, and interviews that were incomplete or interrupted were reviewed. At the microdata level, outliers were reviewed and compared with their corresponding values in the Microcensus. Comparison of main attributes are conducted from year-to-year; In carrying out imputations for unit-non-response, socio-demographic attributes are distinguished from the ICT attributes; Item-non-responses were imputed
Data was weighted according to population by state (Bundesland), age and gender, and also according to state and nationality group.

Applicability
Strengths:
This survey has good linkage to the Austrian Microcensus and through its use of standardized classification, it makes international comparisons possible. The data is collected annually and information is disaggregated by age group.
Weaknesses:
Due to the voluntary nature of Eurostat's recommendation on survey design, it limits cross-national comparisons.
