The purpose of Stichting Onderzoek Navigatiesystemen is defined as follows in the articles of association:
1. The foundation serves the purpose of conducting comparative research on the market for navigation systems, at home and abroad, and carrying out any activity in any way related to or in support of this purpose.
2. The foundation covers a wide range of activities in achieving its objective and may conduct comparative research on the market for navigation systems, at home and abroad, as it sees fit. In addition to pointing out the material differences of different navigation products for the benefit of market transparency, the foundation also seeks to contribute to increasing road safety.
3. One research criterion is defining and applying uniform criteria for comparison and determining to what extent lessons may be learned from observations that may translate into recommendations for interventions conducive to safety.
4. The foundation publishes a particular research project’s findings in a research report and research certificates. The reports promote transparency in the market for navigation systems and offer recommendations about measures that may be taken in order to improve systems and safety. The recommendations are addressed to those individuals and institutions who, because of their position of responsibility, have the power to take those measures. Consequently, recommendations are not only offered to government ministers, but also to public authorities, companies and other organisations in society.
