This document specifies a field procedure for the verification that a given Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based system and measurement procedure meets a required measurement uncertainty at the location and time of interest. The field procedure uses three-dimensional coordinates which are compared to reference coordinates. It is designed to be applicable to the technically versatile geodetic and surveying GNSS systems on the market and can be used for any kind of GNSS-based applications to determine coordinates. It is independent of the technology used in the GNSS measuring instrument, the satellite data streams, and any correction data used. The procedure is applicable to GNSS instruments under operating condition in the field in such a way that the main parameters affecting the determination of coordinates are included in the result of the test. This document defines several delimitation criteria, which allows for versatile applicability. As a result, the verification procedure can be regularly performed in the field with limited economic impact.

This document specifies field procedures to be adopted when determining and evaluating the precision (repeatability) of rotating lasers, the uncertainty of measurement results obtained by geodetic instruments and their ancillary equipment, particularly when used in building and surveying measurements for levelling tasks. Primarily, these tests are intended to be field verifications of the suitability of a particular instrument for the immediate task at hand and to satisfy the requirements of other standards. They are not proposed as tests for acceptance or performance evaluations that are more comprehensive in nature. This document can be considered as one of the first steps in the process of evaluating the uncertainty of a measurement (more specifically a measurand). The uncertainty of a result of a measurement is dependent on a number of parameters. Therefore, this document differentiates between various quality measures and testing objectives, including repeatability and reproducibility (between-day repeatability), and provides a thorough assessment of all potential error sources, as specified by ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 and ISO 17123-1. These field procedures have been developed specifically for in situ applications without the need for special ancillary equipment and are purposefully designed to minimize atmospheric influences.

ISO 13485:2003 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer requirements and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services.
The primary objective of ISO 13485:2003 is to facilitate harmonized medical device regulatory requirements for quality management systems. As a result, it includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements. Because of these exclusions, organizations whose quality management systems conform to this International Standard cannot claim conformity to ISO 9001 unless their quality management systems conform to all the requirements of ISO 9001.
All requirements of ISO 13485:2003 are specific to organizations providing medical devices, regardless of the type or size of the organization.
If regulatory requirements permit exclusions of design and development controls, this can be used as a justification for their exclusion from the quality management system. These regulations can provide alternative arrangements that are to be addressed in the quality management system. It is the responsibility of the organization to ensure that claims of conformity with ISO 13485:2003 reflect exclusion of design and development controls.
If any requirement(s) in Clause 7 of ISO 13485:2003 is(are) not applicable due to the nature of the medical device(s) for which the quality management system is applied, the organization does not need to include such a requirement(s) in its quality management system.
The processes required by ISO 13485:2003, which are applicable to the medical device(s), but which are not performed by the organization, are the responsibility of the organization and are accounted for in the organization's quality management system.
