SEGJ set up the advisory committee on the satndardization adhoc in 1999 in order to address the perceived demand for formal standards of geophysical survey. Studies and discussions within 1 year's activities of this committe was organized into a manual in Japanese, "Application of GeophysicalMethods to Engineering". This manual was brushed up under advices of ASEG's geophysicists and published in English 4 years later. The committee continues to foster a common understanding of geophisical survey for engineers, clients and beginner. In this sumposium, the following issues will be presented.<p>1. History of the attempt of the standardization such as publication of the manuals in Japanese and English.<p>2. Knowledge and Issues got from the attempt.<p>3.
