Teema: RE: CL 57/2016
Dear Ms. Mollet
I forward our comments to the CL57/2016 on behalf of National
Hydrographer of Estonia - Mr. Taivo Kivimäe.
1. As the companion document for S-8B - Guidelines for the
Implementation of the Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors
and Nautical Cartographers is not available yet, the whole picture of
the standard is missing.
2. Page 4, 3. Programme preparation and submission
Not clear about what cross reference table it is written and where on
www.iho.int it is possible to find it.
3. There could be added subjects like ENC scales, SCAMIN, relationship
between ENC and paper chart (same data, same updates etc.), text and
picture files added to ENC, data assessment in NtM, ENC updates and
navigational warnings context, WEND, gaps and overlaps, data
harmonization between neighbouring countries.
Kind Regards,
Olavi Heinlo

CALL FOR COMMENTS ON DRAFT NEW EDITION 1.0.0 OF IHO PUBLICATION S-8B –
STANDARDS OF COMPETENCE FOR CATEGORY "B" NAUTICAL CARTOGRAPHERS

5B Edition 1.0.0 Standards Of Competence For Hydrographic Surveyors, Category B

;
D. IHO Circular Letter 42/2016 dated 5 September - Outcome of the 8th meeting of the Inter-
Regional Coordination Committee (IRCC8)
E. IHO Resolution 2/2007 as amended - Principles and Procedures for Making Changes
to IHO Technical Standards and Specifications
Dear Hydrographer,
1. Task 3.3.9 of the 2013-2017 IHO Work Programme authorised the FIG/IHO/ICA International
Board on Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers (IBSC) to
develop separate competency requirements for Category "A" and Category "B" Hydrographic Surveyors
and Nautical Cartographers (see Reference A). As announced in References B and C, the IHO adopted
revised versions of the Standards of Competence for Category "B" and Category "A" Hydrographic
Surveyors.
2. In accordance with the IBSC work programme that was endorsed by the Inter-Regional
Coordination Committee (IRCC) at its eighth meeting in Abu Dhabi, in May 2016 (see Reference D), the
IBSC is now developing a similar set of separate Standards of Competence for Nautical Cartographers.
In accordance with Reference E, the Chair of the IBSC has requested the Directing Committee to circulate
a draft new edition 1.0.0 of S-8B - Standards of Competence for Category "B" Nautical Cartographers
seeking comments from Member States and stakeholders.
3. Any initial feedback provided by Member States and stakeholders will be considered by the IBSC
during an extraordinary meeting that will be held in Singapore from 21 to 25 November 2016. During
the meeting the IBSC will also complete the development of the draft new edition 1.0.0 of S-8A -
Standards of Competence for Category "A" Nautical Cartographers that will be subsequently submitted
to Member States and stakeholders, seeking comments and feedback, in accordance with Reference E.
Both revised draft editions 1.0.0 of S-8B and S-8A will then be considered by the IBSC40 (Wellington,
New Zealand, 20-31 March 2017) and submitted to Member States for approval, subject to the
endorsement by the IRCC at its 9th meeting (Paramaribo, Suriname, 12-14 June 2017).
4. Similar to S-5A and S-5B (References B and C), the new editions of S-8A and S-8B will be
supplemented by the companion document - Guidelines for the Implementation of the Standards of
Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers. This document is intended to
assist educational and training organizations in the preparation of submissions to the IBSC in relation to
the relevant Standards of Competence. The document will be developed by the IBSC from the current
Guidelines for the Implementation of the Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors in order
to refer to the four Standards.
5. In accordance with the process of consultation required under Reference E, the draft edition of S-
8B is now available (in English only) on the IHO website at:
www.iho.int → Standards & Publications → Download → Draft Publications for discussion
6. Member States are invited to review the draft and to provide their comments on the first draft
edition 1.0.0 of S-8B as soon as possible. Training and Education Institutions recognised by the IBSC
are also invited to provide their comments. The deadline for comments is 31 December 2016, however,
the Board would appreciate comments as soon as possible, and ideally prior to its meeting in
Singapore on 20 November. Comments received after 20 November will be considered by the IBSC
during the continuation of the drafting process and during its next meeting in New Zealand in March
2017.
7. Subject to the subsequent approval of a new edition of S8-A and S8-B by the Member States in
2017, institutions seeking recognition of their nautical cartography programmes by the IBSC in 2018 (at
the IBSC41 meeting) will be expected to submit their programmes based on the new Standards S-8A and
S-8B.
On behalf of the Directing Committee
Yours sincerely,
Mustafa IPTES
Director
