Reference Documents
The documents a citation of a CCIR series relies on: what the numbers measure, how changes to the measurement are governed, and who stands behind them. Deliberately short: each describes current practice, not aspiration.
Methodology
What the series measure, where the prices come from, how they are aggregated, and the series grammar: the document a citation of any CCIR series relies on.
Read →Change Management Policy
How methodology changes are classified, disclosed, and versioned. What constitutes a material change. Restatements versus series breaks.
Read →Governance & Complaints
Administrator identity, independence and conflicts posture, and how to raise a query or complaint about a published series.
Read →Methodology Change Log
The running record of versions, panel changes, and series notices. Pending changes are announced with effective date, anticipated impact, and a comment window.
Read →IOSCO Principles Self-Assessment
A principle-by-principle crosswalk of CCIR’s published practice against the nineteen IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks, self-assessed, with gaps stated as gaps.
Read →Data Terms
What may be done with the published series without asking (viewing, quotation, citation with attribution) and what requires written permission: systematic retrieval, redistribution, commercial reuse.
Read →CCIR's methodology and governance are designed with reference to the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Oil Price Reporting Agencies (2012) and Principles for Financial Benchmarks (2013). See the principle-by-principle self-assessment. CCIR does not claim assured compliance. Independent external assurance of adherence (the convention established by commodity price-reporting agencies) will be sought when adoption warrants it.
