Status	Attribute label	Enumerant label ▾	Concept definition	Code	Ref type	Reference	Supplemental references
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	LOWEST_ASTRONOMICAL- _TIDE	The lowest <<TIDE_LEVEL>> that can be predicted to occur under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions; lowest astronomical tide.	23	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:23]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	LOWEST_LOW_SPRINGS	An arbitrary level conforming to the lowest water level observed at a <LOCATION> at <SPRING_TIDE>s during a period shorter than 19 years; lowest low water springs.	24	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:6]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	LOWEST_LOW_WATER	An arbitrary level conforming to the lowest <TIDE> observed at a <LOCATION>, or somewhat lower; lowest low water.	25	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:4]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	LOW_WATER	An approximation of <<<MEAN_LOW_WATER>>> adopted as the reference level for a limited <REGION>, irrespective of better determinations later. Used mostly in <HARBOUR> and river engineering. Used in <INLAND_WATER>s. It is generally defined as a level which the daily mean water level would fall below less than 5 percent of the time and by no more than 0,2 metres during the navigation season. A single level <SURFACE> is usually chosen as the low water <DATUM> for a whole <LAKE>. On a <RIVER>, low water <DATUM> is a sloping <SURFACE>, which approximates the <WATERBODY_SURFACE> of the <RIVER> at a low state.	19	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:13]	[TCG, "low water datum (LWD)", (2)]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	LOW_WATER_SPRINGS	A level approximating that of <<<MEAN_LOW_SPRINGS>>>; low water springs.	20	IR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:9]	[FACC, Annex B, VDC:93]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_HGHR_HIGH_SPRINGS	The mean height of <<<HGHR_HIGH_WATER>>> at <SPRING_TIDE>s at a <LOCATION>; mean higher high water springs.	26	IR	[FACC, Annex B, VDC:24]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_HGHR_HIGH_WATER	The mean height of <<<HGHR_HIGH_WATER>>>s at a <LOCATION> over a 19-year period; mean higher high water.	27	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:21]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_HIGH_NEAPS	The mean height of the <<<HIGH_WATER>>>s of the <NEAP_TIDE>; mean high water neaps, neap high water, or high water neaps [TCG, "neap tides or tidal currents"].	28	IR	[FACC, Annex B, VDC:8]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_HIGH_SPRINGS	The mean height of the <<<HIGH_WATER>>>s of <SPRING_TIDE>s; mean high water springs or spring high water.	29	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:17]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_HIGH_WATER	The mean height of all <<<HIGH_WATER>>>s at a <LOCATION> over a 19-year period; mean high water.	30	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:16]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_LOWER_LOW_SPRINGS	The mean height of <<<LOWER_LOW_WATER>>> at <SPRING_TIDE>s at a <LOCATION>; mean lower low water springs.	34	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:2]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_LOWER_LOW_WATER	The mean height of the <<<LOWER_LOW_WATER>>>s at a <LOCATION> over a 19-year period; mean lower low water.	35	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:12]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_LOW_NEAPS	The mean height of the lowest <<TIDE_LEVEL>>s of the <NEAP_TIDE>; mean low neaps [TCG, "neap tides or tidal currents"].	31	IR	[FACC, Annex B, VDC:12]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_LOW_SPRINGS	The mean height of the lowest <<TIDE_LEVEL>>s of <SPRING_TIDE>s; mean low water springs or spring low water.	32	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:1]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_LOW_WATER	The mean height of all the lowest <<TIDE_LEVEL>>s at a <LOCATION> over a 19-year period; mean low water.	33	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:5]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_SEA_LEVEL	The mean height of the <WATERBODY_SURFACE> of the <OCEAN> at a <TIDE_DATA_POINT> for all stages of the <TIDE> over a 19-year period; mean sea level (MSL). MSL is usually determined from hourly height readings measured from a fixed predetermined reference level.	36	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:3]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_TIDE_LEVEL	The level midway between <<<MEAN_HIGH_WATER>>> and <<<MEAN_LOW_WATER>>>; mean tide level. It is also known as half tide level, and it may differ slightly from <<<MEAN_SEA_LEVEL>>>.	37	PR	[S32, "mean tide level"]	[FACC, Annex B, VDC:16]
STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	MEAN_WATER_LEVEL	The mean of all hourly water levels over the available period of record; mean water level.	38	PR	[S57A, Attribute, VERDAT:26]

STD 2005/06/07	SOUNDING_DATUM_TYPE	NEAP_TIDE	<NEAP_TIDE>.	40			[FACC, Annex B, VDC:17]

In addition to the status and date information for each entry, a colour coding scheme highlights the database holding to which an entry belongs. The following highlight colours are used:

white - the entry is in the standard
yellow - the entry has been added to the register
pink - the entry has been submitted for inclusion in the register, but it is not approved
cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
M - has Modifications
C - has Clarifications
