At the level of French official statistics, the CPI is submitted to the Official Statistics 'Quality Label Committee'. This committee consists of a President, a rapporteur and three commissions empowered to issue a recommendation on the application submitted. The members of the commissions are designated by order (Order of 2/05/2013) in the 'Journal Officiel' because they represent civil society or INSEE.

In each of these commissions, experts are appointed by the president of the committee at the rapporteur's proposal. Their role is to analyse the procedure used to create the index (in particular, the method, sampling and sample design, the collection protocol, quality controls, etc.) and the adaptation of the publication to the stated objectives.

After examining the application (Commission of 17 April 2019), the Official Statistics Quality Label Committee attributed the label of public interest and statistical quality to the price index production procedure, with binding force for the years 2020 to 2024.

European control: INSEE responds to requests submitted by Eurostat on a regular basis.

The conformity of the HICP to the HICP legislation and other European recommendations was last assessed by Eurostat in 2013, and followed up in 2018.
