Title:Update of the CEN Workshop Agreement on Test and Evaluation of Demining Machines (CWA 15044:2004)
Description:The CEN Workshop Agreement on Test and Evaluation of Demining Machines (CWA 15044:2004) was published in July 2004 after 4 technical CEN workshops held during the period September 2003 – April 2004 (ITEP Project 3.1.5). According to the CEN Workshop procedures, a published CEN Workshop Agreement requires a review after a period of 3 years. The ITEP Working Group on Test and Evaluation of Mechanical Assistance clearance Equipment (MAE), in consultation with the GICHD, decided that a minor update of the CWA 15044:2004 was required.
Aim:Update of the CWA 15044:2004, taking into account progress in machine development and lessons learned collected during three years of ITEP trials of mechanical demining equipment according to the CWA 15044:2004
Request:GICHD, ITEP Working Group on T&E of Mechanical Assistance clearance Equipment (MAE)
Category:Mechanical Assistance
Type:Methodology
Equipment:N/A
Development:N/A
Time Frame: 2008-07-01 to 2010-06-30
Place:N/A
Lead Nation:Canada
Partners:Sweden, GICHD, ITEP Secretariat
Status:Archived
Comments:The updated version of the CWA 15044:2004, agreed upon by the ITEP WGMAE and GICHD, was submitted to the CEN Secretariat at the beginning of April 2009. It was circulated in May 2009 by CEN to the members of the original Workshop who drafted the 2004 version. The updated version of the CWA 15044 was endorsed by CEN on the 30th of June 2009.
Results/Conclusions:
  • The CWA 15044:2009 was published in December 2009.
  • In addition to the updated CWA 15044 the ITEP working Group on Test and Evaluation of Mechanical Assistance Clearance equipment (ITEP WGMAE) compiled four documents covering lessons learned from mechanical equipment performance trials carried out by ITEP Participants during the period 2005 - 2008. These documents were written as part of the CWA 15044 update and consolidate experiences related to the effect of soil condition on measurements of ground penetration depth and machine performance as well as providing details on the measurement of soil compaction and the statistical principles guiding the CWA 15044 machine performance determination:
    - Part 1: The effect of soil condition on measurements of ground penetration depth and machine performance.
    - Part 2: Interpretation of Ground Penetration Depth Measurements
    - Part 3: Measuring soil compaction and soil moisture content of areas for testing of mechanical demining equipment
    - Part 4: Statistical methods used to calculate demining machine performance, performance confidence intervals and performance differences.
