B.  1. 
The objectives of the quality check report are as follows:


— evaluate the methodologies for measurement of food waste set out in Annex III and Annex IV to Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/1597;
— evaluate the quality of data on reported food waste amounts;
— evaluate the quality of data collection processes, including the scope and validation of administrative data sources and the statistical validity of survey-based approaches;
— give reasons for significant changes in reported data between reporting years and ensure confidence in the accuracy of that data.
