In Belgium, R&D personnel in the business sector reported since 2021 includes both internal and external personnel, causing a break in the series compared to pre-2021 data which only reflected internal personnel. Some institutions were reallocated from the PNP sector to the Government sector in 2012.

Beginning with the 1998 data, two large non-profit organisations, formerly included in the higher education sector, were reclassified in the government sector.

As of 1993 (1992 for the Business enterprise sector), data are based on full surveys and no longer on a combination of budget figures and survey findings.

Total national R&D expenditures are underestimated in 1987 and 1988, as is the contribution of government as R&D financed by federative authorities (about 2-4 % of GERD and 7-15 % of government-financed GERD) is excluded. As a breakdown of this sum by sector of performance is not available, the impact on the other R&D expenditure tables cannot be estimated, though it probably affects R&D in the Government and Higher Education sectors.
