Overview

The GICHD produces a range of catalogues on commonly used demining equipment, such as mechanical devices, metal detectors and personal protective equipment. These catalogues are designed to provide a service to field users, and include test data on the equipment whenever it is available.The GICHD provides a limited advice on the use of current technology to mine action programmes, and supports assessments of the impact of technology on programmes. The Centre also provides an informal interface between the scientific research and development sector, with the end users in the field. The GICHD also has official observer status at a number of landmine treaty fora, and presents technical advice as requested.
