Abstract
The data collected during the 1982 French census will be processed as follows: one quarter of the forms is intended for heavy operation, while the remaining three fourths will be for light operation. The first batch is processed within the Institute whereas the second is handed over to subcontractors. In both instances, the Institute deemed it necessary to implement a sample inspection of the combined codification-capture activity.
Different sets of methods are selected for light and heavy operations, respectively. They can each be considered from five stand-points:
– The purpose of inspection;
– constraints to be allowed for;
– definition of a number of concepts;
– characteristics regarding sampling, specific processing of sample units, the selected decision rule and theoretical justifications of the solutions agreed upon.
