Full title and description
Hydrometry — Hydrometric data transmission systems — Specification of system requirements. This International Standard specifies technical requirements and the necessary functions to be considered when designing, deploying and operating hydrometric data transmission systems (HDTS) used for remote collection and transmission of hydrometric (water-level, flow and related) data.
Abstract
ISO 24155:2016 defines system-level requirements for hydrometric data transmission systems (HDTS), covering functional capabilities, performance and operational considerations so that telemetry, data-loggers, communications links and central data collection systems interoperate reliably for hydrometric monitoring and data management. Annex A of the standard shows the detailed scope of HDTS addressed.

Scope
ISO 24155:2016 applies to hydrometric data transmission systems (HDTS) used to collect, transmit and deliver hydrometric measurements from field gauge stations and sensors to data collection centres. The standard addresses system requirements (functional, performance and operational), recommended capabilities of HDTS components, and factors affecting reliability, maintainability and data quality for monitoring networks. Annex A of the publication provides the detailed delineation of the HDTS scope.
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and system concepts for hydrometric data transmission (HDTS architecture and component roles).
- Functional requirements for data acquisition, buffering, transmission, acknowledgement and retry mechanisms.
- Performance and availability targets for communications links and telemetry to ensure timely and complete data delivery.
- Data integrity, time-stamping, error detection and handling to preserve measurement quality.
- Interoperability recommendations for loggers, sensors and central systems (protocols, formats and metadata).
- Operational considerations: remote station power, maintenance, diagnostics and resilience to environmental conditions.
- Security and access control considerations for transmitted hydrometric data.
- Testing, commissioning and documentation requirements for HDTS installations.
Typical use and users
The standard is intended for organisations and professionals responsible for hydrometric monitoring networks: national and regional hydrological agencies, water resource managers, environmental monitoring organisations, consultants, system integrators, telemetry and instrumentation manufacturers, and researchers working on remote sensing and data management for hydrology. It is used to specify procurement, acceptance testing and operation requirements for telemetry systems in hydrometry networks.
Related standards
ISO 24155:2016 supersedes ISO/TS 24155:2007 (the earlier technical specification). Other hydrometry standards commonly used alongside ISO 24155 include standards on water-level measuring devices (e.g., ISO 4373), hydrometry vocabulary and symbols (ISO 772) and field measurement of discharge (ISO 9825), plus various ISO/TC 113 publications covering instruments, measurements and data management in hydrometry.

Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers functional and performance requirements for HDTS components (data-loggers, telemetry links, central receivers), data integrity and timing, operational and maintenance considerations, interoperability and testing/commissioning practices; Annex A details the scope boundaries.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Users include hydrological and water-resource agencies, environmental monitoring organisations, instrumentation and telemetry suppliers, system integrators and consultants specifying or operating hydrometric telemetry systems.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 24155:2016 is the published edition (2016) that replaced ISO/TS 24155:2007; the 2016 edition was reviewed and confirmed during ISO’s review cycle and remains the current edition as confirmed on ISO review.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It is part of the body of ISO hydrometry standards developed under ISO/TC 113; it should be used in combination with other hydrometry standards (vocabulary, measurement methods and device specifications) from the ISO/TC 113 portfolio.
