ANNEX 2

STANDARD FOR MINE CLEARANCE AND EOD OPERATIONS IN BOSNIA AND

HERZEGOVINA (Second revised and amended addition as of June 1 2003)

Chapter I TRAINING

AMMENDMENT Clause 18. is added after clause 17 as follows: 18. BHMAC shall conduct verification of Certificates on completed courses in humanitarian demining, in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as outside of it, provided the courses are in accordance to minimum required training programmes and scheduled occupations for humanitarian demining in BiH. Verification will imply attaching the training programme (for which BH MAC had not issued its consent), and if estimated, it will also imply an adequate knowledge testing, which will be confirmed by certificate issued and needed for the acquirement of accreditation and imposition into BH MAC database.

Chapter II

MARKING MINE AREAS AND TASKSITES REVISIONS AND AMMENDMENTS Annex B is changing as a whole: SEMI-PERMANENT AND PERMANENT MARKING OF MINEFIELDS as follows (annex following): Within Annex C: MINEFIELD MARKING, clause 1.a) (1) a text is added at the end as follows: When a working lane of minimum length of 10 m is completed within technical survey (all three methods), with pickets at maximum distance of 2 m, a number of pickets may be removed until the sampling is completed while the rest of the pickets will remain at the maximum distance of 10 m. In the final marking of the reached border of AWDR through technical survey or the one cleared through clearance, which borders with the risk area, these pickets will be set by a short white-tipped picket as a semi-marking of the turning points and every 50 m in direction. Amendment, Annex D: Record on permanent marking (attachment following)



Annex B Chapter II

SEMI-PERMANENT AND PERMANENT MINEFIELD MARKING 1. Standard mine fence consists of pickets (poles) 1.5 m above the ground level (painted alternately in red and white), connected by a mine tape, rope or wire, with mine signs attached. This fence is used for semi-permanent and permanent minefield marking.

a) In semi-permanent marking, wooden pickets are used (5x5 cm in diameter) at maximum distance of 6 m, connected with plastic mine tape, rope or a wire at the height of 0,25 m and 1,25 m from the ground level, with mine signs at maximum distance up to 18 m (every third picket). This manner of marking is easily distinguished and sufficient to warn a person of MINE threat. When a semi-permanent fence is combined with individual mine signs, the stated mine signs will be of square shape, with minimum dimensions of 40x40 cm, placed on a wooden stick at maximum distance of 50 m, taking into consideration that they are visible from one to another. Sketch of such mine fence and individual semi-marking mine sign is shown further in text. Semi-permanent marking is used for marking the boundary of completed demining tasks (clearance or AWDR in technical survey) with the risk areas, where continuation of work is planned within up to a year. In order to safely maintain the marking, it is to be set minimum 2 m before reached boundary, which is marked through final marking (Chapter VIII, Annex C).

b) In permanent marking, metal ( phi 40x2 mm, square 40x40x2 mm, or „L” profile 40x40x3 mm) or concrete stakes (8x8 cm) are placed at maximum distance of 6 metres, connected with barbed wire at the height of 0.3 meters, 0.75 m and 1.2 m from the ground level, with attached mine signs of minimum required dimension of 25x25 cm, at maximum distance of 12 m, attached to the upper and medium wire (every second field). This method of marking is both visual and physical obstacle for both people and animals. When a permanent mine fence is combined with individual mine signs, the mentioned signs will be minimum 40x40cm minimum in dimension, at a maximum distance of 50 m, taking into consideration that they are visible from one to another. Sketch of this mine fence and individual mine sign are shown further in text. Permanent marking is used for marking the boundaries with a known risk area or one that is defined through completed demining tasks (clearance or AWDR within technical survey) of III category priority, where the continuation of work is planned within a period of one to five years. In order to safely maintain the permanent marking, it is to be places within the safe area, minimum 2 metres from the risk area, i.e. reached boundary of the risk area, marked with final marking (Chapter VIII, Annex C). BHMAC is conducting permanent marking projects, keeps records and conducts control of the quality of work done. Upon completion, the holder of activity (municipality) and the contractor will make a record on completion of permanent marking tasks. Record is attached in Annex D.

Chapter III TASK SITE LAYOUT AND MANUAL OPERATIONS

REVISIONS AND AMMENDMENTS Clause 8 changes entirely and states as it follows: 8. Basic procedure in manual demining (technical survey and clearance). Depending on local conditions (composition and density of ground, type, density and height of vegetation, configuration, metal contamination, mine situation etc.), the activities’ sequence of basic procedure will be adapted, while in principle is as follows:

a) Conduct control search of the ground in front of the base stick, using metal detector in the height of approximately 30 cm, in order to reveal a stronger signal, which might suggest existence (both in and under vegetation), of mines containing more metal (PROM-1, PMR-2A, PMR-3, TMM-1, TMRP-6 etc.) so that follow-up activities, especially finger search through vegetation and visual search of the surface and removal of vegetation could be conducted with increased care. Search with minimum one detector sweep in the width in front of the base stick and without overlap in progress, is to be conducted prior to all basic procedure actions, provided that type, density and height of vegetation (vegetation carpet) allows it. Depending on vegetation conditions, detector search is conducted with left-to-right or forward-backward sweeps up to 50 cm in front of the base stick.

b) Search for the trip-wired mines using the prodder. Use this procedure providing that vegetation allows it (mostly grass), in such manner that deminer will bend down or kneel and move his prodder along the ground in front of the base stick (up to minimum 50 cm) and lifts it gently up and above the vegetation. Repeat three times, to the left, to the right and in the middle of the lane.

c) Uncover vegetation with fingers and visually check the area to the ground level. This procedure is to be conducted up to 50 cm in front of the base stick in order to reveal possible tripwires on trip-wired mines on ground level, which may be intersected with stacked vegetation, to reveal surface-placed mines / UXO, pressure mines fuses protruding from the ground or other suspicious objects. Procedure is to be conducted regardless of the fact whether prodder was previously looking for trip wires.

d) Remove vegetation, if necessary, with the use of horizontal cutting tools of smaller dimensions. Remove up to 5 cm of vegetation or lower in the width of the base stick and forward up to 50 cm. Vegetation which is cut is to be placed on the clear area or behind the deminer. Daily cut vegetation and debris is collected into piles in order to provide control over the cleared area, its further removal or burning.



e) Perform detailed ground check with metal detector. Minimum two

sweeps with metal detector will be made in front of the base stick in speed which will successfully reveal UPMAH-3 (dug in the ground at 10 cm depth) at minimum 13 cm of height, which is in principle 0.1-0.2 m/s speed, encompassing 10 cm of working lane overlap and progressing for half detector’s head. Detector test is performed at the beginning of work, after each turning off, while sensibility check is performed on every 10 minutes of work.

If metal detector made no signal, continue work repeating procedures from a). f) Checking metal detector’s indication with prodder. If metal detector

indicates (gives signal), mark the spot and start with prodding of indication at minimum 10 cm in front of the signal point and into the width of 20-30 cm (depending on the strength of the signal). Prodder is inserted into the ground evenly under the angle of 300, at every 2.5 cm and into the depth of minimum 10 cm from the ground level. Such deployment of prodder is applied as well if the ground is contaminated with metals or minerals, which prevents the use of the detector. In such cases, prodding is conducted by the entire length of the base stick, including the overlap (both sides in the first lane, side of progress in other lanes).

g) Excavation of the located object. After the prodder stated the location and size of mine or other object, a shovel or adequate knife is used to dig it out. Digging will start minimum 10 cm from the located spot, without vertical pressure downwards, to maximum 10 cm in depth. If located object at the depth of 10 cm is not mine or UXO while detector continues to give the signal, excavation is continued to minimum 20 cm. For objects deeper in the ground and depending on the intentional use of the ground and requests stated in contract, the depth of excavation is defined by the supervisor.

Investigation of detector’s signal may be conducted immediately, using shovel without previous check by the prodder.

If it is not possible to work with metal detector and the prodder, the entire area of the working lane must be excavated to minimum depth of 10 cm. Apart from shovel and adequate knife, in dependence to composition and density of ground, for excavation of the entire lane other adequate and approved tools may be used for controlled work without vertical pressure. All metal found in the working lane, including smaller pieces of metal, which are found in the lane using magnet, will be left in the metal collecting pit by deminer. Larger quantities of surface metal found on the task may be collected and mark in one on several places in previously cleared area of the task.



h) Searching for mine / UXO or a trip-wire. When deminer finds a mine / UXO (as necessary as to state it is a mine) or a trip-wire, he will inform the section commander (immediate supervisor); he will place mine marker 15 cm in front of it, then close the working lane and start clearance in new working lane.

In clause 9, under content is changed and is as follows:

a) All found mines and UXO must in principle be destroyed in situ, unless safety measures are not sufficient to remove threat for safety of people and property, in which case the demolition will be conducted on designated demolition areas. Demolition of found mines and UXO on a planned day will be conducted at the end of the working hours or other designated time during the day. Demolition must be completed within the day when deminers leave the site for more than one day (weekend, other longer planned vacation, ceasure of work due to bad weather or other conditions or completion of works at that site etc.). Until they are designated to demolition, found mines and UXO will remain marked on their places, with working lanes closed.

Chapter IV DEMOLITION OF MINES AND UXO

REVISIONS AND AMMENDMENTS In clause 1, second sentence is revised and is as follows: Demolition in situ is obligatory on the last day of the clearance at the task, prior to deminers leave the task for any reason longer than a day. It will be conducted at the end of the working day or other designated time within the day. In clause 3, first sentence is revised and is as follows: Demolition of mines and UXO are conducted by the commandeer of demining section or designated demolition team from own or other accredited demining organisation, according to contract.

Chapter V MINE SURVEY

REVISIONS AND AMMENDMENTS Clause 22 is revised and is as follows: 22. In manual operations (when conditions are limiting the use of EDD or a machine), the suspect area will be attacked from the safe area from all sides by clearing working lanes at maximum distance of up to 10 m (obeying minimum safety distances). In areas on slopes, working lanes will, for safety reasons (preventing possible sliding of a deminer into a suspect area from flanking lanes), be led only in



the direction up the slope at maximum distance up to 5 m. When approaching mines, place where they are found will be marked and procedures will be continued in a new working lane. BH MAC RO inspection body will be informed on every found mine, since inspection body supervises the task in order to determine the level of risk (place where it was found, types of mines, manner of placing etc.). Found mine is recorded, properly marked (with a found mine marker) and destroyed in the operation of clearance of defined reduced risk area.

Clause 26 is revised within Annex I and is as follows: 26. In order to confirm areas without defined risk (AWDR) in technical survey, the area is to be sampled at the completion of the task, using the method or random sampling (Clause 9. Chapter XI). In manual method of technical survey, demining organisation shall, prior to final sampling planned by BH MAC, remove vegetation from untreated area for the sake of sampling and additional trust for future users. Removal of vegetation will be conducted by the demining team that conducted manual treatment, considering they know the status in relation to found indications of mines and confirmed reduced area for clearance. Procedure of vegetation removal and the use of tools from remaining parts of non-treated area (through working lanes and internal sampling), will be defined for each and separate case by the commander of the section – task site with persons responsible for operations and quality assurance in organisation. Providing indications of mining are found during removal of vegetation, the organisation will inform the BH MAC inspection body who follow the task; together they will establish new boundary of the risk area for clearance.

Chapter VII

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RECORDING AND REPORTING

REVISIONS AND AMMENDMENTS Within Clause 8, the following is revised: - Under a) Plan of the conduct of demining task. New plan for the conduct of the task is provided in Annex A: - Under b) and c) Weekly and monthly reports for BH MAC, provided in Annexes B and C, are revoked.

Chapter VIII HAND-OVER OF DEMINED AREA OR BUILDING

REVISIONS AND AMMENDMENTS In Annex C: MARKING SYSTEM FOR THE CLEARED AREA, Clause 2.c) is revised and is as follows:

c) Semi-permanent marking of all breaking points (except for the datum point which has a permanent marker) and at every 50 m in direction, with wooden white tapped pickets of 3.x in diameter, minimum 0.5 m above the ground lever, which follow the line of perimeter of AWDR in technical survey or cleared area. These pickets will enable that within a period of one year (and longer) all the breaking points could be found for AWDR in technical survey or cleared area, which will also reduce possibility of additional technical survey or clearance. An example is shown on the sketch in the following document.

(1) The place of permanent metal marker of the datum point and all the metal pickets of the breaking points (angles) must be clearly marked on the sketch, which is provided within the set of documents about the technical survey or clearance. (2) The place of semi-permanent marking of all the breaking points of the parameter of the cleared area and every 50 m marked by wooden white tapped pickets, red tapped pickets on boundaries with risk areas (one close to another), with 3 x 5 in diameter, height of 0.5 m above the ground level, do not need to be marked on the sketch.

Along with existing sketch of marking of the boundaries of demined area, a new one is attached:

Metal pole (standard nail) 20-30 cm long

Every 50 m in direction

White and red tapped pickets (border of the risk area), diameter 3x5cm, minimum height 0.5m above ground level

50cm

-Permanent and semi-permanent marking of breaking points and directions of outer boundaries of cleared or TS area at parts where it borders with risk area



Chapter IX SAFETY

REVISIONS AND AMMENDMENTS

Clause 8. is revised and is as followed. 8. Face visor. Must protect front and flank sides of the face, as well as forehead and neck. Visor must be designed in such a manner to cover the collar of the protective vest or smoothes into it, with good visibility, of glassy transparent colour, without distortion of picture and change in perspective. Visor for dog handler might be adapted (a crack in the area of mouth) in order to allow him easier commanding to the EDD, though the function must not be significantly diminished. Additional protection for upper and back side of the head, with a helmet, may apply as per free choice, i.e. as decided by the organisation or as requested by the deminer / operator.

(1) Visor marked with V50 (minimum 5 mm thick) must when dry be capable of withstanding 50% of fragments of 1.102 g in mass and velocity of 250 m/s (this relates to STANAG 2920), tested in accordance to US NIJ 0101.03 standard. (2) Due to changes in chemical structure under influence of sunlight and temperature, along with physical damages as a result of usage, visor can be used for maximum of three years from the date of production. Minimum producer name and date of production must be imprinted into visor. Declaration on quality and production date must be in accordance with documentation on purchasing the owner’s equipment. (3) Visor is a subject to regular checks on site as well as yearly check by BH MAC with grading its further usability. If the check states the visor does not meet criteria regarding design and quality, it will be removed from use before its three years deadline.

a) Protective jacket (protective vest, vest). The jacket must protect upper front part of the body, including flank sides, neck, shoulders and upper part of thighs (hips) with crotches. Additional protection to back, arms and legs may be applied as a free choice, i.e. according to the decision of the organisation or request by deminer / operator.

(4) Protective must when dry be capable of withstanding 50% of fragments of 1.102 g in mass and velocity of 450 m/s (this relates to STANAG 2920), tested in accordance to US NIJ 0101.03 standard. (1) After 5 years, protective jacket must be re-attested in order to check previously requested characteristics. Declaration on producer, date of production of re-attesting, serial number and quality, must be sewn onto the outer part of the inside as well as on every separate part of the protective Kevlar package. Documentation on purchase and re-attesting to owner of the equipment must be followed by a written statement of quality for the jacket, signed by authorised organisation. (2) Protective jacket is a subject to regular checks on the site as well as annual check by BH MAC (complete / operational) with a grade about further usability. If the check states that the jacket does not meet the requests regarding design and quality, it will be excluded from further sue before it’s 5 years’ schedule.



Clause 11. is revised and is as follows: 11. Metal detector. Must be of such characteristics to find the PMA-3 fuse dug 10 cm into the ground ( PMA-3 mine from the area of BiH with minimum metal) at minimum 13 cm in height, counting 10 cm from the ground and up to 3 cm of average height of vegetation cutting. Detector on demining site is subject to daily tests for being operational by internal and external controls; it is checked for sensibility every 10 seconds during work, as well as detailed annual check (operational, complete) by BH MAC, with the grade about further usability. If the check confirms the detector does not meet stated requests, it will be removed from further use until it is brought back to its proper and complete operational state. A procedure must be defined within the SOP about the work with detector. In detector’s box there must be instruction of how to handle and maintain a detector.

Clause 12. is revised and is as follows: 12. Manual prodder for searching mines. It must be foldable, consisting of three parts: handle main part and sharp edge. Handle can be made of various materials and shaped to be adapted to work. It can have a protection for hand in case of explosion. Extension (main part) must be aluminium. Part with the spike (sharp edge) must be made of stainless steel – pocrome, antimagnetic. Minimum operational length of the extension must be 20 cm in order to meet the search under the angle of 30O to minimum depth of 10 cm.

Clause 14. – added at the end are parts u) and v), as it follows: u) Mobile phone as well as other radio devices which might disturb the frequencies of metal detector, distracting requested care, shall not be used in the working lane. v) BH MAC inspection bodies and monitors on site may, for the sake of control in prescribed procedures enter the operational part of the site without presence of the section commandeer – at a minimum safety distance to the immediate conductors (deminer and EDD up to 25 metres and machine – up to 100 metres.)

Chapter XIV
