Standardized water level exchange format

The IEHG has agreed upon a standardized data exchange format for detailed water level information that can be used by applications to display the actual water depth or for voyage planning. A precondition is the encoding of the depth in accordance with I.1.2 of the Encoding Guide for Inland ENCs:

IEHG has also developed "Recommended validation checks for Inland ENCs". The following editions are available:

  • Recommended validation checks for Inland ENCs 1.1 (based on S-58 Edition 4.2 and Edition 2.1 of Inland ENCs)

  • Recommended validation checks for Inland ENCs 2.3 corr1 (based on S-58 Edition 4.2 and Edition 2.3 of inland ENCs)

  • Draft of the Recommended Validation checks for Inland ENCs 2.4 rev1 (based on S-58 Edition 6.0.0 and Edition 2.4 of Inland ENCs). This version will get an official status after testing

  • Recommended Validation checks for Inland ENCs 2.5.1 (based on S-58 Edition 6.0.0 and Edition 2.5 of Inland ENCs). The draft version of edition 2.5 has been tested and some corrections have been made. This edition 2.5.1 has been adopted by IEHG.

  • Edition 2.5.1 contained some typos (check 1641: umtroc instead of uwtroc, check 1669: logical instead of illogical, check 1752: SEGSEQ instead of SIGSEQ, check 1806: nor intead of not, check i1504: flodoc instead of gatcon, check i1523: equal to instead of Equal to, check i1548: Wrecks intead of WRECKS).
