The proposed criteria for an assignment to compatibility group S are: (a) No damage to the witness plate beneath the package. (b) No fireball or jet of flame which extends more than 1 m from the package. (...) Damage to the witness plate beneath the package. The expert from Germany agrees that the damage of the steel witness plate is a clear sign of a hazardous effect outside of the package. 6.

By definition, detectable MOTAPM provides a response signal equivalent to a response signal from eight grammes of iron in a single coherent mass buried five cm beneath the ground. 5. That newly emplaced MOTAPM in minefields along national borders or sensitive facilities be excluded from the detectability requirement if they are located in a perimeter-marked area which is monitored by military personnel or protected by fencing or other means, to ensure the effective exclusion of civilians from the area. 6. (...) The difference in the definition of detectability used for anti-personnel mines in APII and for MOTAPM in the present paper (response signal equivalent to a response signal from eight grammes of iron in a single coherent mass buried five cm beneath the ground) is due to the different operational use of the respective mines. 11. (...) That MOTAPM emplaced at a depth greater than five cm beneath the ground would be required to produce a response signal equivalent to the response signal from at least eight grammes of iron in a single coherent mass buried five cm beneath the ground, subject to certain exclusions. 13.
