Abstract
This proposed standard is suggested as a model for adoption by local bodies of surveyors and engineers who practice land surveying. Besides expounding and clarifying certain often‐ignored surveying principles, it recognizes and accommodates the revolution in measurement technology that has occurred in recent decades. Rather than presenting a “method” specification for performing solely ground‐based measurements, this proposed standard focuses on measurement results by employing the concept of position tolerance and incorporating statistical probability to assess measurement quality. This approach is useful for any measurement system, whether ground‐, aerial‐, or satellite‐based.
