Revisions
Data can be revised for a number of reasons, including receipt of more data, methodology changes and corrections.
Data subject to scheduled revisions are published as provisional. The period for which data are provisional differs depending on material type and is indicated in each table, either by use of [p] markers or in footnotes. When provisional data become final, [p] markers are removed.
For unscheduled revisions, no revision marker is added, though in the case of substantial revisions a note will be added at the top of the revised table and in this ‘Revisions’ section of the edition the change is first published.
Users should download the latest edition of the publication to ensure they have the most up-to-date tables.
