Best Practices:
CEN Workshop Agreements:
(CEN Workshop Agreements (CWAs) are consensus-based specifications, drawn up in an open Workshop environment)
- CEN Workshop Agreement Test and Evaluation - Part 1: Metal Detectors (CWA 14747-1:2003)
-CEN Workshop Agreement Test and Evaluation - Part 2: Soil Characterization for Metal Detector and Ground Penetrating Radar Performance (CWA 14747-2:2008)
- CEN Workshop Agreement Test and Evaluation of Demining Machines (CWA 15044:2009). This document supersedes CWA 15044:2004.
Another CEN Workshop Agreement on Test and Evaluation of Personal Protective Equipment (CWA 15756:2007) was published but has recently been taken out of circulation due to problems with certain aspects of the blast test guidelines. For further information please contact the GICHD ().
Other published CEN Workshop Agreements in the field of Mine Action can be found at the Mine Action Standards Website
Other Test Methodology Documents:
- Test Methodologies for Personal Protective Equipment Against Anti-Personnel Mine Blast (NATO RTO HFM TG-024)
- Test Methodology for Protection of Vehicle Occupants against Anti-Vehicular Landmine Effects (NATO RTO HFM TG-025)
- A Test Methodology for Assessing Demining Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
