      The author obtains local residual-type estimates for the Galerkin boundary element method in the general case of smooth closed surfaces and for spline collocation on smooth closed curves, showing that the local residual is a local error indicator. No special assumptions on the mesh are needed. This improves recent results by the author and \textit{W. L. Wendland} [Appl. Anal. 48, No. 1-4, 37-50 (1993; Zbl 0799.65115)], which are restricted to one-dimensional boundary integral equations and meshes of bounded local mesh ratio. The approach is based on a simple inequality which is independent of the numerical method and the dimension of the surface.
