Revision as of 16:35, 26 May 2014

There are several fields in Land that may be used for collecting Evidence of Contamination

Evidence of Contamination

Standard values
Indirect Direct None Not Specified

Indirect Evidence

Which type of Indirect Evidence should be specified and the standard values should be customised to the Mine Action Programmes's Nation Mine Action Standard (NMAS) because the what is considered to be Indirect Evidence in one MAP may be considered as Direct Evidence in another MAP.

Standard values
Evidence from old survey Former combatant zone Mine/ERW accidents with unknown location Mine/ERW records (low reliability) Productive land not in use Verbal reports Not Specified

Direct Evidence

Which type of Direct Evidence should be specified and the standard values should be customised to the Mine Action Programmes's Nation Mine Action Standard (NMAS) because the what is considered to be Direct Evidence in one MAP may be considered as Indirect Evidence in another MAP.

Standard values
Detonations Mine/ERW accidents with known location Mine/ERW records (high reliability) Mine signs, fencing, etc. Visual observations Not Specified

Land classification (former Mine Action Area Type)

Depending on Evidence of Contamination and which Type of Contamination / Ordnance Land is classified as:

Classification Definition Contamination
Indication Used for inaccessible areas or areas with limited information available Mines / UXO
SHA Strong indication of mine/ERW contamination on the basis of Indirect Evidence Mines / UXO
CHA Confirmed contamination on the basis of direct evidence of the presence of mines/ERW Mines / UXO
Ammunition storage / Stockpile The ordnance is stored in e.g. an armoury or a warehouse All types
EOD Spot task May be subsurface or surface Not mines

Ordnance Classification

Code Evidence Information Source
M1 Mines or UXO physically verified Confirmed Reliable
M2 Area reported with observed evidence of mines or UXO Unconfirmed Reliable
M3 Area reported with observed evidence of mines or UXO Unconfirmed Unreliable
M4 Area reported as mined with no evidence of mines or UXO Unconfirmed Unreliable
