Throughout the text, the sentence ‘This code list shall not be extended by Member States.’ is replaced by the sentence ‘The allowed values for this code list comprise only the values in the table below.’.
Throughout the text, in the headings of all tables that are specifying code list values, the text ‘Allowed values for the code list’ is replaced by the text ‘Values for the code list’.
In Section 1.1, the following indents are added:
‘“mean sea level” (MSL) means the average height of the surface of the sea at a tide station for all stages of the tide over a 19-year period, usually determined from hourly height readings measured from a fixed predetermined reference level (chart datum).
“lowest astronomical tide” (LAT) means the lowest tide level which can be predicted to occur under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions.’
Section 1.3.3 is amended as follows:
the second indent is replaced by the following:
‘For the vertical component in the free atmosphere, barometric pressure, converted to height using ISO 2533:1975 International Standard Atmosphere, or other linear or parametric reference systems shall be used. Where other parametric reference systems are used, these shall be described in an accessible reference using EN ISO 19111-2:2012.’
the following indents are added:
‘For the vertical component in marine areas where there is an appreciable tidal range (tidal waters), the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) shall be used as the reference surface.
For the vertical component in marine areas without an appreciable tidal range, in open oceans and effectively in waters that are deeper than 200 meters, the Mean Sea Level (MSL) or a well-defined reference level close to the MSL shall be used as the reference surface.’.
Section 2.2 is amended as follows:
The first paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘Either of the grids with fixed and unambiguously defined locations defined in Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 shall be used as a geo-referencing framework to make gridded data available in INSPIRE, unless one of the following conditions holds:
Other grids may be specified for specific spatial data themes in Annexes II-IV. In this case, data exchanged using such a theme-specific grid shall use standards in which the grid definition is either included with the data, or linked by reference.
For grid referencing in regions outside of continental Europe Member States may define their own grid based on a geodetic coordinate reference system compliant with ITRS and a Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection, following the same principles as laid down for the grid specified in Section 2.2.1. In this case, an identifier for the coordinate reference system shall be created.’
Section 2.2.1 is amended as follows:
the title is replaced by ‘Equal Area Grid’.
the sentences ‘The grid defined in this Section shall be used as a geo-referencing framework where grids with fixed and unambiguously defined locations of equal-area grid cells are required.’ and ‘The reference point of a grid cell shall be the lower left corner of the grid cell. ’ are deleted.
Section 2.2.2 is replaced by the following:
