Change in method of measurementFrom January 2011 the method of measurement used for the textiles, wearing apparel and leather industry is changed from physical quantity of output to hours worked. Read more about the methods of measurement in NOS 436 The Production Volume Index; Manufacturing, Mining and Quarrying, Oil and Gas Extraction and Electricity Supply 2009 . |
