- Argentina (ADU CENPAT): We are governed by the OBIS Quality management System.
- Australia (ADU CSIRO): the routine data we acquire from our vessels (underway, ctd,a dcp, xbt, multibeam. hydrology) is processed using specific data quality controlled.procedures. Each datatype from a voyage has a published metadata record linking to the data quality and issues report.
- Brazil (NODC): Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center, which operates the Brazilian National Data Center (BNDO – Banco Nacional de Dados Oceanográficos), holds an ISO 9001 Certification since the year 2007. Initially only ht e Cartographyc Production was certified, but today all technical sectors are so. There´s a Quality Management System (with all comprobatory documents) at https://sdq.chm.mb/laravelapp/sdq/public/admin/login [restricted].
- Cyprus (ADU): SeaDataNet QC and management Procedures
- Estonia (other): Department has national accreditation for oceanographic measurements and has QMS
- Finland (other): FMI has a unit for observations that takes care of the quality control of routine data and then we have Marine Research unit that takes care of the quality control of data that the unit collects. The QMS is under development for some oceanographic data types.
- France (NODC): mandatory for the ISO 9001 certification
- Germany (NODC): ISO 9001 certificate
- Georgia (ADU): TSU is collaborating with S/R Firm “Gamma” Ltd, which has the documented QMS.
- Greece (ADU): It is an internal guide used for Data Quality Management
- Iran (Islamic Republic of) (Islamic Republic of) (NODC): The INCOD has achieved QMS accreditation in 2017.
- Ireland (NODC): The Marine Institute’s data management quality management framework is accredited by IODE, with scientific QMSs accredited by ISO and INAB.
- Mozambique (NODC): The system consist of establish a relation within the data, the instruments and metodology used to collect the data. After this process we atrinute the quality flag to the data
- Norway (NODC): Internal quality management system
- Peru (NODC): It is ISO 9001-2015 certified
- Portugal (Other):. The Portuguese Hydrographic Office has multiple Quality management processes (e.g. the Hydrographic data accomplish with S-44 and other International Hydrographic Organization guidelines). Since 2020 we have been developing an Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure and working for build up of a coherent Quality Management System.South Africa (NODC): Raw data and corresponding metadata are archived for long term preservation. Data providers complete metadata sheets for ocean physics and for biological data. An SOP for how to do this exists.
- Slovenia (NODC): The majority of the data we provide to the community are quality checked prior to delivery. We are part of the EMODNET/SEADATANET community and use their quality check criteria.
- South Africa (NODC): Raw data and corresponding metadata are archived for long term preservation. Data providers complete metadata sheets for ocean physics and for biological data. An SOP for how to do this exists.
- Spain (ADU SOCIB): we are working on it
- Spain (NODC): Not completed yet. We are in process
- Tanzania (NODC): The University as a whole has documented Quality Assurance systems for conducting its academic activities. These are managed with a Quality Assurance Bureau.
- UNITED KINGDOM (NODC): Quality Management Framework is based on the ISO 9001 methodology. At present an internal document. The BODC is accredited by IODE
- UNITED KINGDOM (ADU CEFAS): https://www.cefas.co.uk/media/0a5fvw4a/cpp008-policy-quality-policy-apr-20-signed.pdf
- USA (ADU BCO-DMO): We do have automated validation checks for all of our ISO metadata records contributing to each archive package.
