Standards for checking GNSS surveying system : the actual status

Heister, Hansbert

GNSS positioning systems are nowadays standard equipment for versatile applications in surveying and geodesy. Therefore it is urgently necessary to have in conjunction with a quality management system standardised procedures for checking and calibrating of these measuring systems. ISO / TC172 / SC6 has already elaborated for different surveying instruments standards for determining the precision by suitable field procedures. Recently a new draft was prepared to propose methods for checking satellite positioning systems: GNSS field measurements systems in real-time kinematics (RTK). The paper will introduce these and additional recommendations to present on the one hand the actual status to stimulate on the other hand the discussion in this field of all involved practitioners.
