GPS data acquired at CORS are widely and rapidly used in many application such as information technology industries. In acquisition of GPS data the establishment of standards of reliability and tolerance error range is necessary. This standards is regarded to contain the requirements of selection of using softwares, precise and broadcast ephemeris, duration of data acquisition, and etc. This study focused to present above standards of tolerance error. In long baseline GPS observation network the RMSE analysed in this study resulted little change when data acquired in 6-hour duration, but the less observation duration resulted less accuracy. Especially in 3-hour observation the accuracy of GPS data decreased rapidly. After analyses of data accuracy in the same observation condition using different computer program between academic and commercial purpose software, the RMSE of academic software resulted less than 1cm compared to 3 to 10cm from commercial software. RMSE analysis between precise ephemeris and broadcast ephemeris resulted similar quantity. Therefore this study regarded to present the reliable establishment of standards of error which can be used in required accuracy in GPS data observation.
