Geographic information - Conformance and testing (ISO 19105:2000)
This International Standard specifies the framework, concepts and methodology for testing and criteria to be
achieved to claim conformance to the family of ISO geographic information standards. It provides a framework for
specifying abstract test suites (ATS) and for defining the procedures to be followed during conformance testing.
Conformance may be claimed for data or software products or services or by specifications including any profile or
functional standard.
Standardization of test methods and criteria for conformance to geographic information standards will allow
verification of conformance to those standards. Verifiable conformance is important to geographic information
users, in order to achieve data transfer and sharing.
This International Standard is applicable to all the phases of conformance and testing. These phases are
characterized by the following major activities:
a) the definition of ATS for conformance to the ISO geographic information standards;
b) the definition of test methods for conformance to the ISO geographic information standards;
c) the conformance assessment process carried out by a testing laboratory for a client, culminating in the
production of a conformance test report.
This International Standard specifies the requirements for, and gives guidance on, the procedures to be followed in
conformance testing for the ISO geographic information standards. It includes only such information as is
necessary to meet the following objectives:
1) to achieve confidence in the tests as a measure of conformance;
2) to achieve comparability between the results of corresponding tests applied in different places at different
times;
3) to facilitate communication between the parties responsible for the activities described in 1) and 2).
This International Standard provides a framework for certification (an administrative procedure which may follow
conformance testing) in informative annex B.
The following topics are outside the scope of this International Standard.
a) The description of requirements for procurement and contracts.
b) Testing by means of test methods which are specific to particular applications or systems.
c) Acceptance testing, performance testing and robustness testing.
The framework established by this International Standard includes the concept of executable test suites (ETS).
These, by their very nature, cannot be standardized; consequently, standardization of ETS is outside the scope of
this International Standard.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 19105 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic
information/Geomatics.
Annex A forms a normative part of this International Standard. Annex B is for information only.

Introduction
The scope of ISO/TC 211 is standardization in the field of digital geographic information. This work aims at
establishing a structured set of International Standards for information concerning objects or phenomena that are
directly or indirectly associated with a location relative to the Earth. These International Standards may specify, for
geographic information, methods, tools and services for data management (including definition and description),
acquiring, processing, analysing, accessing, presenting and transferring such data in digital/electronic form
between different users, systems and locations. The work will be linked to appropriate International Standards for
information technology and data, where possible, and provide a framework for the development of sector-specific
applications using geographic data.
This International Standard provides the framework, concepts, and methodology for testing and the criteria to be
achieved to claim conformance to this family of International Standards. This International Standard is based in part
on ISO 9646-1 which describes conformance and testing in Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), ISO 10303-31
which describes conformance and testing in industrial automation systems and integration, and ISO 10641 which
describes conformance and testing for computer graphics and image processing. While the framework of
conformance testing described in these three International Standards is used in this International Standard, some
concepts have been modified for use in this particular domain.
The objective of standardization in the field of digital geographic information cannot be completely achieved unless
data and systems can be tested to determine whether they conform to the relevant geographic information
standards. Conformance testing is the testing of a candidate product for the existence of specific characteristics
required by an International Standard in order to determine the extent to which that product is a conforming
implementation. It involves testing the capabilities of an implementation against both the conformance requirements
in the relevant International Standard(s) and the statement of the implementation's capabilities.
A framework of an abstract test suite (ATS) is standardized for relevant standards in ISO/TC 211. The
standardization of ATS requires international definition and acceptance of a common test methodology, together
with appropriate test methods and procedures. The purpose of this International Standard is to define this
methodology
