Due to the unprecedented astrometric quality of the Hipparcos Catalogue, presently available astrometric catalogues cannot be used to independently assess its statistical properties. However, a relatively inexpensive way to address systematic errors at the sub-mas level is to intercompare the FAST and NDAC results before their merging. Moreover, by means of an empirical covariance analysis it is possible to study the presence of residual signals in the Hipparcos sphere solution. This papers presents some results of these investigations.
