contents The random intersection graph model $\mathcal G(n,m,p)$ is considered. Due to substantial edge dependencies, studying even fundamental statistics such as the subgraph count is significantly more challenging than in the classical binomial model $\mathcal G(n,p)$. First, we establish normal approximation bound in both the Wasserstein and the Kolmogorov distances for a class of local statistics on $\mathcal G(n,m,p)$. Next, we apply these results to derive such bounds for the standardised number of edges, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for its asymptotic normality. We develop a new method that provides a combinatorial interpretation and facilitates the estimation of analytical expressions related to general distance bounds. In particular, this allows us to control the behaviour of central moments of subgraph existence indicators. The presented method can also be extended to count copies of subgraphs larger than a single edge.
