DIN 18709-3:2012-10

This standard is applicable for all surveying work in the hydrographic sector: on the high seas, in coastal areas, in estuaries, on rivers, canals, streams and lakes. A part of these bodies of water includes tidal river areas and water ways. The scope of these survey measurements spans from navigation, maintenance of water ways (traffic safety, excavation projects, hydrography, structural inspection, development and new construction measures) to coastal zone management (coastal and water protection, ecology, uses). The following modifications have been made with respect to DIN 18709-3:1982-07: a) new title; b) content of the standard for the total spectrum of hydrographic surveying (particularly inland waters) has been editorially and technically revised, expanded and adjusted to current developments. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-03-01 AA "Geodäsie" ("Geodesy") at DIN.
