La base est dite à une échelle d’utilisation au 1/100 000ème. Ce choix d’échelle est un compromis permettant un bon suivi de l’occupation du sol au niveau national ou européen avec des coûts et des délais de productions acceptables. Cette donnée n’est donc pas adaptée à une utilisation à un niveau géographique fin, la commune par exemple.
