Scientific paper

It is argued that the CODATA recommended values of the fundamental physical constants could not be used as the reference data in searching the hypothetical space-time variations of the fundamental physical constants. It is shown that the CODATA data permanently suffers a loss of self-consistency of the released data due to unjustified over-rounding of their estimates. The simple estimates of the critical numbers of decimal digits that should be saved in the independently rounded correlation coefficients, the average values and uncertainties to save the self-consistency is obtained. The set of high level quality requirements to the computerized presentation of the numerical data on the jointly measured or estimated physical values are formulated. It is argued (once again) that the common standard for presentation of the numerical values of correlated quantities in publications and sites is urgently needed.
