Definition: Unit of homogeneous production (UHP)

Category: 1993 Regulation on statistical units

The unit of homogeneous production (UHP) is characterised by a single activity which is identified by its homogeneous inputs, production process and outputs. The products which constitute the inputs and outputs are themselves distinguished by their physical characteristics and the extent to which they have been processed as well (as) by the production technique used, by reference to a product classification. The unit of homogeneous production may correspond to an institutional unit or a part thereof; on the other hand, it can never belong to two different institutional units. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31993R0696:EN:HTML
