Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to navigable electronic maps intended for public publication, sales, distribution, display, and use in China. It is mandatory for all entities producing or distributing navigable map data. It specifically governs the spatial position technical processing and restricts the collection and expression of sensitive geographic information, as defined in Basic requirements of security processing technology.
Technical requirements
The standard mandates that all spatial position technical processing must be conducted by designated authorities using state-specified methods. Applicants must provide mapping qualification certificates and detailed data descriptions to these designated institutions. It strictly prohibits the collection of specific geographic data, including gravity data, elevation points, contour lines, high-voltage lines, and vegetation information. Furthermore, the standard outlines extensive restrictions on the expression of content. Maps must not display military facilities, public security institutions, or critical civilian infrastructure. Explicit spatial coordinates and elevation data are forbidden unless officially published by the state. Specific attributes of bridges, tunnels, roads, and waterways are also restricted from being expressed, referencing terms defined in GB/T 16820.
Testing methods
While not detailing traditional laboratory tests, the standard requires a specific spatial position technical processing procedure. This involves submitting the navigable electronic map data, along with its spatial reference system and data format details, to the designated administrative department for mandatory security processing using state-specified methods before public release.
