Technical Notes for Mine Action (TNMA) is an advisory document designed to accompany or supplement an International Mine Action Standard (IMAS), or act as an independent source of information. They provide principles, advice and information relevant to a specific IMAS or technical subject. Although they use the same format as IMAS for consistency and ease of use, their status is different and they are advisory only, but based on the best available technical information.
