What is the response rate required for my duty station?
On the basis of precision requirements recommended by ACPAQ at its 32nd session, and approved by the Commission at its 70th session, the ICSC has determined the response rates required for each duty station so that data collected from all headquarters duty stations can be used to derive reliable expenditure weights. These minimum response rates, which are specified by professional level, as well as overall for the duty station, have been communicated to your local survey committee, which will be coordinating various activities to ensure that they are achieved. The more completed questionnaires beyond the specified minimum number, the better the quality and reliability of the expenditure weights derived.
