Section 3 «Single Objects»50 Layer

Art. 2051 Relationship with the «land cover» layer

The «single objects» layer comprises objects that possess some characteristics of land cover but which, because of their nature or their small extent, have minimal importance in terms of area coverage.

Art. 21 Objects

Objects must be explicitly assigned to the «single objects» layer if:52

a. they are not buildings in accordance with Article 14, for example under-ground structures, bays or balconies;

b. their clear delimitation as areas is not possible or their survey as area objects would entail disproportionate cost, for example rivulets, small streams, faint paths, irregular footpaths, watercourses and mountain torrents;

c. they are of linear character, such as railway lines; or

d. they are portrayed on the Land Registry Plan as symbols, for example isolat-ed important trees.

Section 4 «Heights» Layer

Art. 2253 Definition and content 1 The «heights» layer consists of a digital terrain model (DTM). 2 The DTM data must be capable of supply in the form of a 2-metre grid. 3 The origin of the 2-metre grid has the following values in the national coordinate systems:

a. CH1903 reference system of the reference frame of the Swiss national sur-vey of 1903 (LV03): y = 600 000.00 m (easting) and x = 200 000.00 m (northing);






12

211.432.21

b. CH1903+ reference system of the reference frame of the Swiss national con-trol network of 1995 (LV95): E = 2 600 000.00 m (easting) and N = 1 200 000.00 m (northing).

4 The cantons may in addition offer the data in an alternative form derived from the DTM.

Art. 2354

Chapter 3 Accuracy and Reliability

Section 1 Tolerances

Art. 24 Basic principle 1 The accuracy and reliability requirements are governed by the tolerance levels (TS). 2 For large areas with very low land value, for which the accuracy and reliability characteristics of the specified tolerance levels are not necessary, simplified survey-ing may be performed, subject to approval by the Federal Directorate of Cadastral Surveying.55

Art. 25 Minimum requirement for TS1 1 TS1 (urban areas) must at least satisfy the requirements for TS2. 2 Article 28 is reserved.

Art. 2656 Assignment of tolerance levels 1 The canton lays down tolerance levels for each individual case. 2 It shall designate the areas to which Article 24 paragraph 2 is to apply.

Section 2 Accuracy

Art. 27 Basic principle

The requirements for the accuracy of points of official cadastral surveying are de-fined in terms of mean square errors (standard deviations) and refer to connection points. These apply to all new computations.

54 Repealed by No I of the DDPS Ordinance of 5 June 2008, with effect from 1 July 2008 (AS 2008 2759).

Point category TS1 TS2 TS3 TS4 TS5

LFP2 4.5 4.5 4.5 12 12 LFP3** * 7.5 7.5 15 15 HFP2 (levelled) * 0.5 0.5 – – HFP2 (GNSS) 3.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 – HFP3 * 0.5 – – –

* in accordance with cantonal regulations, but at least equivalent to TS2 ** where no HFP3 are available

3 The accuracies must be calculated by the method of least squares. They must not exceed the values given in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. 4 The tolerance for assessing individual discrepancies in planimetric coordinates and heights is three times the corresponding value given in paragraphs 1 and 2 above.

Art. 29 «Ground cover» and «single objects» layers58 1 The planimetric accuracy (standard deviation in cm) of a precisely defined point on the ground, such as the corner of a building or a wall, is as follows:

TS2 TS3 TS4 TS5

10 20 50 100




14

211.432.21

2 For objects which cannot be precisely defined on the ground, the planimetric accuracy corresponds to the actual accuracy of determination of their position.59 3 The a priori planimetric accuracy of the surveying and computation methods must be calculated.

Art. 3060 «Heights» layer 1 In areas up to 2000 m a.s.l. covered by tolerance levels TS2 to TS4, the altimetric accuracy of the DTM specified for precisely defined terrain objects such as roads is 80 cm (standard deviation, σ). 2 In areas up to 2000 m a.s.l. covered by tolerance levels TS2 to TS4, the altimetric accuracy of the DTM specified for terrain which cannot be precisely defined, for example steep or forested ground, is 200 cm (standard deviation, σ). 3 In areas above 2000 m a.s.l., and in the areas covered by tolerance level TS5, the altimetric accuracy of the DTM is specified as 10 m (standard deviation, σ). 4 The difference between a directly measured height and the corresponding value derived from the DTM must not exceed three times the standard deviation in accord-ance with paragraphs 1 to 3 above.

Art. 31 «Landownership» and «Pipelines» layers 1 The planimetric accuracy (standard deviation in cm) of a precisely defined point on the ground is as follows:

TS2 TS3 TS4 TS5

3.5 7 15 35

2 The planimetric accuracy (standard deviation in cm) of points along road edges, stream banks, ridges, etc., which are not precisely defined on the ground, is as fol-lows:

TS2 TS3 TS4 TS5

20 35 75 150

211.432.21

Art. 3261 «Territorial boundaries»62 layer

The same accuracy requirements apply to territorial boundaries as to the «landown-ership» layer.

Section 3 Reliability

Art. 3363 Basic principle 1 Surveys and computations must be carried out such that every individual point is adequately protected from gross errors by means of independent redundant observa-tions. 2 Instruments must be periodically tested and calibrated as a precaution against systematic errors. 3 Reliability checks must be carried out on all points in the «control points», «land-ownership» and «territorial boundaries» layers (except for the planimetric accuracy of altimetric control points (HFP)) as well as for individual points in accordance with Article 8 paragraph 4.

Art. 34 «Control points» layer

The external reliability of each individual point must be demonstrated by means of appropriate statistics. Distortion of the results through undetectable gross errors must not exceed three times the planimetric or altimetric accuracy values specified in Article 28.

Art. 35 «Landownership» layer

The external reliability of each individual point must be demonstrated by means of appropriate statistics. Distortion of the results through undetectable gross errors must not exceed five times the planimetric accuracy values specified in Article 31 para-graphs 1 and 2.

Art. 3664 «Territorial boundaries»65 layer

211.432.21

Chapter 4 Renovation

Art. 37 Basic principles 1 Renovation serves to produce the components of new official cadastral surveying from definitively accepted surveys carried out under the old regulations. 2 All usable components of the old survey must be taken and reused to support their completion and update in accordance with the regulations contained in this Ordi-nance. 3 The provisions covering definitions and levels of detail (Art. 10–23) and accuracy and reliability (Art. 27–36) must be observed, subject to the reservations of Arti-cles 38–41.

Art. 38 «Control points» layer 1 The fulfilment of the requirements for accuracy and reliability in accordance with the new regulations must be capable of being demonstrated on the basis of existing accepted survey work. In other cases supplementary surveys and computations must be carried out. 2 Missing attributes must be completed. 3 The density of existing control points must conform to the requirements of Arti-cle 49. Missing or damaged control point monuments must be re-established if they are being adopted for the new survey. Secondary control points must be monument-ed as necessary. 4 Where the different information layers are being renovated in stages, those control points which are necessary for the renovation of the data for the current stage and for its updating must be renewed.

Art. 39 «Landownership» layer 1 The fulfilment of the requirements for accuracy and reliability in accordance with the new regulations may be demonstrated on the basis of the available documenta-tion of existing accepted survey work. This may include field books, field sheets, computations, stable copies of original field plans, and cadastral maps. 2 Missing or damaged boundary marks need not be re-established.

Art. 40 «Land cover» and «single objects»66 layers 1 Missing objects must be added or completed and superfluous objects must be deleted.



17

211.432.21

2 The completion or addition of objects may be based on existing up-to-date material from definitively approved surveys or on further suitable material such as aerial photographs or field documents.

Art. 41 «Local names» layer 1 If names are revised, the procedure must be agreed with the nomenclature commis-sion. 2 If names are not revised in the course of cadastral renovation, names already approved by the commission at the time of renovation will be adopted.

Title 4 Control Points

Chapter 1 General

Art. 46 Definition 1 Control points are connection points of official cadastral surveying whose coordi-nates are determined in the reference system of the Swiss national survey through surveying and adjustment procedures, and they are clearly and permanently identifi-able in the field by means of control point monuments. 2 Control point coordinates are determined in planimetry and/or altimetry.

Art. 47 Classification 1 Control points are divided into those of the Swiss national survey and those of official cadastral surveying. In general planimetric control points (LFP) are fixed in terms of both planimetric coordinates and height above sea level, while altimetric control points (HFP) relate to height above sea level, with their planimetric coordi-nates determined to lower accuracy. 2 Planimetric control points are divided into those of the Swiss national survey (category 1: LFP1) and those of official cadastral surveying (category 2: LFP2 and category 3: LFP3). 3 Altimetric control points are divided into those of the Swiss national survey (cate-gory 1: HFP1) and those of official cadastral surveying (category 2: HFP2 and category 3: HFP3). 4 Additional points which are not permanently monumented, but which are needed for detail survey, setting out or strengthening the network, must meet the same specifications as the LFP.



19

211.432.21

Art. 48 Responsibilities 1 The Federal Office of Topography is responsible for the initial provision, renova-tion and updating of the control points in category 1 as well as the verification of points in category 2.72 2 The canton is responsible for the initial provision, renovation and updating of the control points in categories 2 and 3 as well as the verification of points in category 3.

Chapter 2 Point Density and Design of Observing Schemes

Art. 49 Density of planimetric control points 1 The number of planimetric control points per km2 is determined by the needs of the updating work within the limit of the following benchmarks:

Type of terrain LFP3/km2 (incl. LFP2)

Average point spacing (rounded)73

TS 1 150 100 m TS 2 70 150 m TS 3 20 250 m TS 4 10 400 m TS 5 2 850 m

2 The point density for categories LFP1 and LFP2 must remain small and should not exceed 0.5 per km2.74 3 In areas with existing control point networks the point density must be brought up to the benchmarks of paragraph 1 above at the time of updating.

Art. 5075 Density of altimetric control points 1 The canton specifies the necessary point density for HFP2 and HFP3 in each individual case. 2 It establishes points of category HFP2 where necessary.

Art. 51 Design of observing schemes 1 Observations must be so arranged that the requirements for accuracy and reliability (Art. 28 and 34) are satisfied.


73 For assumed homogenous distribution in a square grid. 74 Amended in accordance with No I of the DDPS Ordinance of 5 June 2008, in force since

1 July 2008 (AS 2008 2759).


20

211.432.21

2 Nearby existing points must be included in observing schemes (neighbourhood principle – the avoidance of discrepancies between new and existing points). 3 Observing schemes must be so designed that connections to control points both for planimetric coordinates and heights above sea level are checked.76

Art. 52 Approval

For initial survey or renovation, the observing scheme must be approved by the responsible authority in accordance with Article 48.

Chapter 3 Monumentation of Control Points

Art. 5377 1 Every control point must be permanently marked in as stable a location as possible before field observations start. 2 Station descriptions must be provided for points of categories LFP2 and HFP2.

Chapter 4 Computations and Statistical Analyses

Art. 54 Mathematical model 1 Computations are carried out by the method of least squares. 2 Every observation must be provided with a realistic a priori standard error. 3 After verification, connecting control points (both planimetric and altimetric) are considered to be fixed and error-free.

Art. 55 Checks on the observations 1 It must be demonstrated that in an unconstrained (free) adjustment the root mean square residuals do not exceed the specified limits. 2 The limit set for the root mean square residual is 3.5. The risk of «type 2» errors is fixed at 5%.

Art. 56 Proof of quality 1 For every point in the final adjustment, proof must be provided that the accuracy and reliability requirements have been met.




21

211.432.21

2 Regardless of the point category or tolerance level, the adjustment program must provide statistics to indicate the achieved accuracy and reliability. Values which lie outside the tolerances laid down must be specially identified.

Chapter 5 Notification Process and Periodic Updating

Art. 57 Notification process 1 The Federal Office of Topography notifies the cantons of changes carried out on category 1 control points (LFP1 and HFP1). 2 The cantons notify the Federal Office of Topography of damage or danger to category 1 control points. 3 The cantons notify the Federal Office of Topography of changes carried out on category 2 control points (LFP2 and HFP2).78 4 It is the duty of cadastral surveyors to notify the relevant cantonal surveying super-vision service of damage, change or danger affecting control points of categories 1 and 2.
