Regulation 22

Accuracy

A registered surveyor must conduct every cadastral survey according to established principles of survey and must attain the accuracy specified as follows:

(a)

the precision of every measured vector must be such that the standard deviations of its length and direction do not exceed 5 millimetres ± 5 ppm and ± 5 seconds, respectively;

(b)

wherever applicable, the position of every ISN marker adopted in the survey must have an error ellipse with its semi‑major axis not exceeding 0.020 metres;

(c)

the length of every traverse circuit must not exceed 2,500 metres;

(d)

the angular misclose must not exceed 10√n seconds where n is the number of traverse stations occupied in the traverse;

(e)

every traverse circuit must comprise a closed loop;

(f)

the fractional linear misclose of traverses must be better than 1:20,000; (g)every vector that is not checked internally must not exceed 50 metres in length and must be checked independently.
