Minimum Standards

These standards were first adopted by the Kansas Society of Land Surveyors at the Annual Meeting in 1978, amended February 1988 and October 23, 1998. It is the intent of these Standards to provide the surveyors and the recipients of surveys a realistic and prudent yardstick of adequate surveying performance. Includes KSLS-approved revisions of 10/17/05 and 10/20/06. Changes in italics were approved by the KSLS Board and ratified by the general membership December 2009 for clarification as requested by the Kansas State Board of Technical Professions. The Rules and Regulations that reference these Minimum Standards were adopted by the Kansas State Board of Technical Professions on May 24, 2010.
