In the questionnaire the enterprises are asked to breakdown their turnover by a number of products.

Accuracy and reliability

The survey is based on a sample and thus some uncertainty is attached to the results. For the whole sector, however, the uncertainty is considered to be small, since the coverage is extensive and the response rate high. For a few sectors with a relatively higher share of small enterprises, the limit of DKK 2.5 mil. may imply a higher uncertainty due to lower coverage.
