Standards

Standards describe criteria that must be followed to achieve compliance.

This standard defines the national vertical reference system: New Zealand Vertical Datum 2016 (NZVD2016)
  • The standard defines several map projections in terms of the Ross Sea Region Geodetic Datum 2000. These projections are used by Land Information New Zealand for topographic mapping in the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica. They can also be used by other people and organisations for the provision and display of geospatial data within the Ross Sea Region.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the geospatial accuracy framework (LINZS25005) is consistently applied across LINZ cadastral survey and control system datasets
This standard defines frameworks for specifying and classifying the accuracy of coordinates and the spatial relationships between them.
