The International Recommendations for Energy Statistics (IRES) have been prepared by the United Nations Statistics Division in close cooperation with countries and other international/regional organizations and adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission in February 2011.

In particular, IRES provides data compilers with a complete set of recommendations covering all aspects of the statistical production process from basic concepts, definitions, classifications and measurement units to data sources, institutional and legal framework, data compilation strategies, energy balances, data quality and statistical dissemination.

It also contains the Standard International Energy Product Classification (SIEC) which is the first internationally agreed classification of energy products.

IRES is a multipurpose document intended to address the need of various user groups including data producers and data users
