Standards : their vital role

Greenway, Iain

FIG has, since 1997, played a growing role in standardisation processes where they are relevant to surveyors. These include the work of ISO Technical Committee 211 on Geographic Information/ Geomatics, and that of the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC). Through its involvement, FIG has been able to input surveyorss views to the standardisation process, with the intention of ensuring workable and timely standards, and has also been able to supply information to surveyors on the progress of the work and on particular challenges. During this time, FIG has raised the profile of standards within FIG, and of FIG within standardisation activity, to the benefit of both.
