| September 2006 | | CEN Workshop on Test and Evaluation of Personal Protective Equipment (CW 26): update | The Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) are co-chairing the CEN Workshop 26 on Test and Evaluation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The aim of the workshop is to establish recognised and clearly defined specifications for vital criteria to be tested and appropriate testing methodologies for PPE for deminers.
The first technical meeting was hosted by the GICHD on 5-6 September 2006. The meeting was attended by approximately 25 participants, representing PPE manufacturers, end-users and test establishments coming from different countries. There were also participants from the ITEP Nations Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. It was agreed that the CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) on Test and Evaluation of PPE will deal with the threat of AP blast mines for the frontline deminer. Results and lessons learned from extensive tests that were already carried out by Canada and the United States will be used as a basis for the CWA. A first draft of the CWA is currently being developed, which will be distributed for discussion during the next Workshop meeting.
The second technical meeting is planned for 5-6 December 2006 at the CEN Management Centre in Brussels. The process should to be completed by mid – 2007. To take part in the upcoming technical meeting, please send an e-mail to Christine Allanson. |
