Methodology

ICIS continuously develops, reviews and revises its methodologies in consultation with industry participants.

ICIS publishes market analysis based on information continuously gathered from market participants and public sources. ICIS has a public Data Standards Policy which covers the type and quality of information it gathers from market participants.

ICIS uses proprietary models where necessary to estimate production volumes or to normalize data to the typical specifications for cargo size and date ranges given for each commodity.

ICIS endeavours to cross-check all the information on production and prices that it gathers. ICIS will not use information for analysis purposes where such checks call into doubt the accuracy of the original information.
