what's new since 2005 version of STAN?
STAN can be accessed via OECD's data dissemination service OECD.STAT.

For any questions, please write to sti.contact@oecd.org, mentioning STAN in the title of your message.
The STAN database for industrial analysis provides analysts and researchers with a comprehensive tool for analysing industrial performance at a relatively detailed level of activity across countries. It includes annual measures of output, labour input, investment and international trade which allow users to construct a wide range of indicators to focus on areas such as productivity growth, competitiveness and general structural change.Through the use of a standard industry list, comparisons can be made across countries. The industry list provides sufficient detail to enable users to highlight high-technology sectors and is compatible with those used in related OECD databases.
STAN is primarily based on Member countries' annual national accounts by activity tables and uses data from other sources, such as national industrial surveys/censuses, to estimate any missing detail. Since many of the data points in STAN are estimated, they do not represent official Member country submissions.
The current version of STAN is based on the International Standard Industrial Classification of all economic activities, Revision 3 (ISIC Rev. 3) and covers all activities (including services). Earlier versions of STAN (pre-2000) were based on ISIC Rev.2 and covered the manufacturing sector only.
To optimize timeliness, STAN is updated on a "rolling basis"- new tables are made available as soon as they are ready via SourceOecd, the OECD's commercial online service. STAN is also available on OECD’s new data dissemination service OECD.STAT together with related industrial data sets such as Business Expenditure on R&D ANBERD, STAN Bilateral Trade Database BTD and STAN Indicators.
