"The corresponding standard DSTU 8820-4:2025 "Mine Action. Management Processes. Part 4. Mechanized Demining Processes" was approved by the National Standardization Body of Ukraine," the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
The document, which will enter into force on May 1, 2025, introduces key principles and requirements for the use of mechanized demining equipment (MDE) when clearing territories of explosive objects.
In addition, thanks to the implementation of this standard:
- regulates the use of various types of MZR - from soil cultivation equipment to equipment for detecting and neutralizing explosive objects;
- requirements are established for MZR operators, their training and certification;
- safety measures are regulated during the operation of equipment, including remote and autonomous control;
- The national regulatory framework is being harmonized with international standards IMAS (International Mine Action Standards).
The standard was developed by specialists from the Main Department of Mine Action, Civil Protection and Environmental Safety and other stakeholders in the field of mine action.
In addition, it is planned to create a special testing ground for mechanized demining equipment. This will allow testing the equipment in real conditions, increasing the efficiency of its use.
