 | | The accuracy of the digital image file, as measured by the ability to determine the correct geographic coordinates of an individual pixel when the image file is used together with the RNC meta-data, should allow a ship’s position to be displayed at least as accurately as when using the original paper chart. |
 | | The RNC used in RCDS should be the latest edition of that originated by, or distributed on the authority of, a government authorized hydrographic office and conform to IHO standards. |
