INTRODUCTION
Final beneficiaries of the humanitarian demining program have to be sure that
searched and demined area is completely safe for use. This requires high
management level and detailed operating procedures that provide the highest quality
control over searched and demined MSA.
General principles and procedures for inspection and sampling were developed by
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and those principles and
procedures accepted are published in ISO 2859-1. ISO procedures applied to Quality
Assurance (QA) and sampling (based on statistic analysis) provide the rules by which
it is easier to decide on product quality. When humanitarian demining is about,
product means searched and/or demined area.
The way the soil sample is selected influences a great deal the sampling results of
searched and/or demined area. Strict procedures for representative sample selection
are also required. If the procedures are not regulated and abided, the Quality
Assurance can be influenced by subjective opinion of the QA Monitor and QA Officer.
This SOP regulates one of the methods of monitoring the treatment depth of
mechanically treated MSA (MSA treatment is carried out using demining machines as
an independent method) and that is the inspection of treated soil by attributes (rightwrong). Sampling is performed using the random sampling method based on ISO
2859-1, i.e. HRN ISO 2859-1: Sampling procedures for the inspection by
attributes.
Sampling plans are indexed according to acceptable quality level (AQL) for the lot-by
-lot inspection.

The Implementation Sphere

This SOP provides the guidelines for the implementation of Quality Assurance (QA)
over searched area applying the sampling plans indexed according to acceptable
quality level (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection of treated area. It defines the terms,
establishes the management system and procedures based on ISO 2859 and HRN
ISO 2859-1 documents and gives instructions on implementation of those
procedures.
SOP can be applied in the procedures of demined area Quality Assurance and
Quality Control according to the IMAS 09.10 and IMAS 09.20.

Referring to Other Standards

List of normative references is given in the Appendix A. Normative references are

important documents this standard pleads to and they make a part of this standards
regulations. All standards are being modified so it is required to follow the list of
international standards currently in force. Members of IEC and ISO have the lists of
international standards registered.

Terms and Definitions

Terms and definitions used in this SOP are in accordance with ISO 3534, IMAS
09.20 and HRN ISO 2859-1. Complete dictionary of all terms and definitions used in
the series of IMAS are stated in IMAS 04.10.
3.1

incorrectness: Deviation from the characteristic of quality (soil treatment

depth determined by the project) that results in a fact that searched mine
suspected areas do not meet the requirements set by the pilot project or the
contract.

3.2

non-conformity: deviation from the characteristic of quality that results in the

fact that mechanically searched mine suspected areas do not meet certain
requirements. Example: If the required soil treatment depth is 20 cm in the I
soil category, that is, 10 cm in II and III soil category (see SOP CROMAC
01.04 and SOP 03.01). Non-conformities are classified into three classes:
non-conformity of the class A single measured soil treatment depth is
smaller than 12 cm in the I soil category and smaller than 6 cm in II and III
category. AQL value is very small. Measurement whose value is smaller than
the stated ones is not allowed in the selected sample. Critical defect the
sample is rejected.

non-conformity of the class B single measured soil treatment depth is

smaller than 17 cm and bigger than 12 cm in the first soil category. In the II
and III soil category it is smaller than 8 cm and bigger than 6 cm. AQL value
is bigger than the one at the class A and smaller than the one at the class B.
Two measurements maximum are allowed in the sample. Bigger defect
(deficiency) more than 4 measurements are present in the sample within
the stated limits.
non-conformity of the class C - single measured soil treatment depth is
smaller than 20 cm and bigger than 17 cm in the I soil category. In the II and
III soil category it is smaller than 10 cm and bigger than 8 cm. AQL value is
bigger than the one at the class B. Four measurements maximum are allowed
within stated limits. Bigger defect more than 5 measurements are
present in the sample within stated limits.
3.3

non-conforming item: searched area item that consists of one nonconformity at least. Non-conforming items are classified into two classes:
The item of the class A the item that consists of one or more nonconformities of the class A but can also consist of non-conformities of the
class B and/or class C.
The item of the class B the item that consists of one or more nonconformities of the class B, it can also consist of non-conformities of the class
C but it does not consist of the non-conformity of the class A.

3.4

Acceptable Quality Level (AQL): when continuous weekly (daily)

mechanically treated mine suspected area is concerned, the quality level
(average soil treatment depth) that, in terms of weekly (daily) inspection of
quality by sampling, makes the border value of acceptable average of the
process (see Point 5).

3.5

The percentage of non-conforming items: the percentage of nonconforming items (soil treatment depth smaller than the required one) in any
quantity of product items given (for example: 15 measurements in searched
area of the size 5 m 10 m) is equal to the ratio of the number of nonconforming items and total number of product items (measurements of
depth) multiplied by 100.

3.6

Sampling plan: special plan that shows how many items (selected entities)
from every daily or weekly treated area should be inspected (sample size or a
line of sample sizes) and joined criteria for defining the acceptability of daily or
weekly treated (searched) area (numbers of acceptances and rejections).

3.7

Sampling scheme: the combination of sampling plans and transition

procedures.

3.8

Sampling system: the collection of plans or sampling schemes. This part of

ISO 2859 sampling system is indexed by lot size ranges (daily or weekly

treated area), levels of survey and AQL values. Sampling system for LQ plans
is given in ISO 2859-2 standard.
3.9

Inspection: the measurement process of the soil treatment depth, checking,

examination, measurement or different comparison of product items (searched
area) with applicable requirements.

3.10 Original inspection: the first inspection of the area of special quality,
previously searched, unlike the inspection of treated area that is submitted for
inspection all over again upon original non-acceptance.
3.11 Inspection by attributes: the inspection during which the product item
(treated entity) is evaluated simply as conformed or non-conformed, or the
non-conformities per product item are being counted regarding the
requirement or group of requirements given.
3.12 Treated MSA (product) item: the item (the depth of mechanically treated
weekly or daily area) that is inspected in order to be classified into the class of
conforming or non-conforming items or in order to count the number of nonconformities on the selected area.
3.13 Treated MSA lot: the collection of treated MSA (m) items daily or weekly
mechanically treated area from which the sample should be taken and
inspected in order to define the conformity with acceptance criteria.
3.14 Lot size: number of product items in the lot (number of selected treatedsearched entities in weekly or daily treated area using a demining machine).
3.15 Sample: the sample consists of one or more entities of treated MSA taken
from weekly or daily treated area (lot); the sample items are chosen at random
regardless their quality. Sample size is equal to the number of product items in
the sample.
3.16 Critical incorrectness: medium value of soil treatment depth in selected
sample is smaller than the one required by the project.

General Requirements and Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)

Monitoring and quality control are an important part of the humanitarian demining
management process whose goal is to verify the quality of mine search on the mine
search projects and establish required quality level according to the Rules and
Regulations on Methods of Demining and contractual responsibilities.
Non-conformity on mine search projects is presented as the number of nonconformed soil treatment depths during the mechanical MSA treatment as an
independent method regarding the soil type and present vegetation. In the tables
(see Table 3-A, 3-B and 3-C) that will be applied at one-time sampling it is assumed
that the non-conformities appear by accident and statistically independently.

The term acceptable quality level AQL that is used in ISO 2859-1, HRN ISO
2859-1 and this SOP refers to the objective mathematical possibility of reaching the
required level of average soil treatment depth during the mine search. Subjective
confidence that includes human factors such as perception, assessment and opinion
is not specially elaborated in this SOP.
For indexing the sampling plans and schemes given in HRN ISO 2859-1 together
with the code letters (see Table 2) the acceptable quality level (AQL) is used. AQL is
the mark for non-conforming items percentage value (or number of non-conformities
on 100 items can be 50; 100 or 200 m of searched mine suspected area, see
Table 1) that will, by sampling scheme which should be used, be accepted the largest
number of times. When it comes to mine search projects the AQL represents
reaching the required level of soil treatment depth depth determined by the project
that makes the border value of acceptable mine search average. Sampling plans
given are prepared in a way that the acceptance probability for denoted AQL value
for AQL given depends on the sample size.
Efficiency and value of expert monitoring by sampling for the purpose of checking the
soil treatment depth requires mine search to be complete and controlled.
Complete process implies that every entity to be surveyed includes the land
treated/searched using demining machine under the same conditions (daily treated
area), in the same way, using the same tools. In order to avoid excessive rejection of
daily searched area it is expected that the average of soil treatment depth will be less
than AQL or equal to that value.
Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) to be used is defined by the contract or mine search
project.
5

Sampling Plan

There is a number of sampling methodologies possible to be applied. Statistically

valid sampling system is described in this paper for the needs of this Standard
Operating Procedure.
Minimal overall area to be surveyed upon MSA treatment will be calculated using the
numbers arising from HRN ISO 2859-1 (see Appendix A: Table 1). Certain parts of
treated soil to be surveyed will be selected by QC Monitor using the random selection
method.
The positions of soil treatment depth measurement in the sample are selected in a
way to cover the entire sample surface (see Appendix D).
5.1

Lot Formation Mode

Daily or weekly MSA treatment (search) using demining machine as an independent

method is formed into recognizable lot, sub-lot or in some other adequate form. Every
lot should be treated approximately under the same conditions as much as possible
(similar soil and climate conditions, the same machine type and working tools).
5.2

Lot Acceptability

Lot acceptability is determined by using sampling plan or sampling plans joined to the
denoted AQL or denoted AQLs (see Tables 3-A, 3-B and 3-C).

The term non acceptance is used instead of rejection when it relates to the
result that ensues from the procedure.
QC Monitor decides how to treat non-accepted lots. Such lots can be searched once
again using demining machines by treating the soil up to the depth determined by the
project or by manual mine detection as a second method or perform the evaluation
according to specific usability criteria once again.
5.3

Non-conforming Items Entities

QC Monitor has the right to reject every daily entity for which it is determined during
the inspection to be non-conformed, no matter whether the entity is a part of weekly
sample or not, even when the lot as an entity is accepted (total weekly mechanically
searched area has the average soil treatment depth equal or bigger than the one
determined by the project.) Rejected entities can be remedied and inspected all over
again with the approval and in a way specified by QC Monitor.
5.4

Sampling

When it is appropriate, the number of entities in a sample is selected in proportion to

the size of daily or weekly treated MSA established according to the Table 1.
Samples can be determined upon weekly or daily work (treating/searching) or during
daily/weekly search when the works interruption is in progress for whatever reasons.
In any case, the samples are selected in a random way.
5.4.1 Types of Inspection
There are three types of inspection: normal, tightened or reduced (see Table 1 and
Tables 3-A, 3-B, 3-C).
At the beginning of inspection, if not decided differently, the QC Monitor conducts the
normal inspection (see Appendix D). Normal, tightened or reduced inspection is
executed on the following lots without any change except in cases where transfer
procedures (see HRN ISO 2859-1, Point 9) require change of inspection type.
Transfer procedures are applied independently for each class of conforming or nonconforming items. Rules and procedures of transfer are given in HRN ISO 2859-1.
5.5

Methods of Monitoring and Quality Control

CROMAC approves the procedures and the equipment used by the QC Monitor for
checking the samples of searched soil and they will be co-ordinated with authorized
demining companies. Any bigger change in the sampling process, monitoring or
quality control should be verified in CROMAC and authorized demining companies
should be informed on these changes in time, prior to the commencement of
monitoring and quality control.
5.5.1 Quality Level Acceptability Criteria
The entity will be considered as quality-treated/searched only if the average
value of measured sample is equal or bigger than soil treatment depth determined by

the project. If any sample of the entity comprises one or more average measured
depths smaller than the one determined by the project, that will make the critical
non-conformity (non-acceptance/unallowed defect), the entity that comprises this
sample will not pass the final inspection/quality control.
Searched soil can comprise single (soil treatment depths) non-conformities classified
into three groups: A, B and C. Such cases would indicate the possible defect and
create the critical defect once again. Terms for acceptance or non-acceptance of all
non-conformity categories are given in the Appendix D.
At defining non-conformities, especially critical defects (incorectnesses) the machine
type should be taken into consideration in relation to the machine mass (light,
medium, heavy), machine working tool and soil conditions.
5.5.2 Inspection Level
QC Monitor defines required quality level for each special application regarding the
machine usability assessment and efficiency evaluation according to SOP CROMAC
03.01 (Efficiency Assessment of Technical Survey and Demining). That provides the
QC Monitor the possibility to demand bigger differentiation for some purposes and
smaller for the other. Three levels of inspection (I, II and III) are given in the Table 1.
If not defined differently, the level II is used. When the smaller sample differentiation
is required the level I can be used and when the bigger differentiation is allowed, the
inspection level III is used. Table 1 gives four additional special inspection levels (S1, S-2, S-3 and S-4) and can be used when relatively small sample sizes are
necessary and bigger sampling risks can be or will be allowed or are allowed. The
purpose of these special inspection levels is to, where it is required, decrease the
samples (for example: if it comes to quality medium and heavy machines that can
continuously sustain the average of soil treatment depth over 24 cm or more; see
HRN ISO 2859-1, Point 10).
For the selection of sample size code letters (APPENDIX A: Table 1) the Table 2
(Level of confidence regarding the machine type and soil conditions on the project)
should also be used (APPENDIX B).
5.5.3 Sample Size Code Letters
Sample sizes are marked with code letters. In order to find the applicable code letter
for the special lot size and regulated inspection level the Table 1 is used (APPENDIX
A).
5.5.4 Treated Entity Acceptability Determination
In order to determine the lot (entity) acceptability according to the number of nonconforming items, the one-time sampling plan is used (see Appendix C: The scheme
of one-time sampling and the Tables 3-A, 3-B and 3-C). At single sampling plan the
number of items inspected is equal to the sample size defined by plan. If the number
of non-conforming items found in the sample is equal or smaller than the number of
acceptances, entity (lot) is considered to be acceptable. If the number of nonconforming items is equal or bigger than the number of rejections, the entity (lot) is
considered to be unacceptable.

Proposed Sampling Procedure Scheme

The special sampling plan that defines the number of treated MSA entities to be
inspected (sample size) is prepared with joined criteria for acceptability determination
of daily/weekly treated (searched) area.

SAMPLING PROCEDURE SCHEME

Lot formation mode
Mechanical treatment of the entire MSA ( m) on a daily/weekly basis
(equal soil conditions, equal machine type, unvaried vegetation type-SOP)
Lot Acceptability
Use of sampling plans joined to denoted AQLs
(QA Monitor decides how to treat unaccepted lots -SOP)
Searched entity non-conforming items
QA Monitor rejects every entity established to be non-conformed
- rejected entities can be remedied (regulated by SOP)
Sampling
QA Monitor selects the sample using random selection method
Quality level acceptance criteria
Entity survey is highly performed if the average value of measured
samples is equal or bigger than planned soil treating depth.

Quality Control and Measurement Results Analysis

7.1

Quality Control of Mechanically Treated Soil and Depth Measurement

Quality control of mechanically treated MSA during technical survey and/or demining
works depends a great deal on soil conditions, vegetation conditions, climate
conditions and efficiency of particular demining machine type.
Considering the fact that demining machine working tool, apart from soil treatment by
digging, should provide for vegetation removal, the Monitor is obliged to also perform
visual control of soil treatment density and vegetation removal during sampling of a
daily lot. This is directly linked to machine movement speed and working tool
revolutions number.
Selected sample as an entity should have approximately the same soil conditions
defined by SOP 01.04, Point 4.1.1 and SOP 03.01, Point 4.1.2.
Contractor's representative is obliged to be present during sampling and he ensures
demining inspection of selected sample combination (Supplement D).
Upon selection of sampling scheme and combination of measurement places
(Supplement D) the Monitor sets the Contractor's representative a task to search the
MSA (desirable: team leader and deminer), to search selected sample combination
by metal detector and mark it with a tape.
In the selected sample scheme, each square represents one m2 of treated soil.
Instead of meter, a normal Monitor's step can be used.
Desirable measurement place is the middle of one m2 that is the end of the step.
Measurements can be performed on any place inside selected m2 and that will
depend on presence of roots, stones, hummocks or earth thrown off. Measurement is
not performed on places with visible tracks of wheels or demining machine
caterpillars. The Monitor has to take care of starting level of untreated land area, that
is, perform the surrounding terrain estimate.
On selected measurement place, the Monitor excavates treated soil by small
telescopic spade up to the hard base i.e. untreated soil. He puts measurement bar
into the place of dug up ground (Supplement E) and uses the free fall for placing the
grade level on treated ground. He uses tightening device to fix the grade level
position and reads measured depth off.
Measured values of soil treatment depth for separate sample are inserted into the
form OEIVPU (see Point 8; Documenting).

Depth Measurement Results Analysis

1

Mean or Average Value

Arithmetic mean is generally the most efficient characteristic for the measurement
results mean and that is why we most often use it in the statistic analysis. Mean or
average value is an arithmetic mean of all measurement results.
Xsr= (X1 + X2 + + Xn )/n
where X1 up to Xn are the results of separate measurements (n=number of separate
measurements)
2

Mean of All One Lot Sample Means

Medium value in one lot Xp,sr of all medium values of the Xsr samples is equal to
Xp,sr = (Xsr1 + Xsr2 + + Xsrk )/k
where k = number of samples that all have the same n number of measurements.
3

Range (R)

The range R of the set of n results is defined by difference between the biggest and
the smallest result in a set, i.e.
R = Xmax - Xmin
The range is for the ease of determination very frequently used characteristic for
dispersion but is efficient only for smaller number of results (up to perhaps ten
measurement results).
4

Standard deviation ( s )

Standard deviation is the basic characteristic of distribution dispersion and that is why
we use it most often.
Standard deviation s of the set of n results X1, X2 Xn is given by the square root of
the result deviation square mean from their arithmetic mean i.e.
s = (X1 - Xsr)2 + (X2 -Xsr)2 + + (Xn - Xsr )2 / n
Standard deviation is of the same dimension as measured results.

13

7.3

The example of sampling during the technical survey using demining

machine as an independent method

Medium soil treating depth determined by the project using demining machine as an
independent method is minimum 20 cm in the I category (a) and minimum 10 cm in
the II and III soil category (b) (see Soil Classification, point 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, CROMAC
SOP 01.04).
Code Letter Determination
Daily processed-treated area is approximately 3 120 m.
Sample size code letter is defined using the Table 1 (Appendix A) in the following
way:

the size of daily lot is under the ordinal number 3 (1 201 3 200 m)
sample size is 50 m and the number of depth measurements in the
sample is 10
general inspection level is always selected for the commencement of
monitoring the soil treatment depth in the way that follows:
a)
if the area is treated with light machine, level II (code letter
is D)
b)
if the area is treated with heavy and medium machine,
level I (code letter is C)
c)
if the area is treated with heavy machine that reaches the
average soil treatment depth over 30 cm, the special
inspection level is selected (from S-1 to S-4, for stated
example the code letter B is selected)

Determination of Sample Number (Sample Size) and Acceptable Quality Level

(AQL)
Upon defining the code letters in the Table 1, one-time sampling plan is selected. At
the beginning of demining machine operation one always proceeds from the one-time
sampling plans for the normal inspection, Table 3-A (Appendix C1).
For the light machine under a) for the letter code D from the table 3-A for the
normal inspection (see Appendix C) sample size is 5. That means, the QA Monitor
chooses 5 samples of 50 m in the lot using the random sampling method.
If the medium depth in the sample is smaller than the one defined by the
project the lot is incorrect and it is rejected.
Presence of non-conformities in the class A with the acceptance number Ac=0
represent the incorrectness and the lot is rejected.

14

Non-conformity of the class A is:

a)

If the single depth in the sample is smaller than 12 cm in the first

soil category, the AQL value is 0.1. From the table 3-A the lot
acceptance number is Ac=0 and the number of rejections is Re=1. It
means that depth smaller than 12 cm is not allowed in the sample.

b)

If the single depth in the sample is smaller than 6 cm in the II and III
soil category, the AQL value is 0.1. From the table 3-A the lot
acceptance number is Ac=0 and the number of rejections is Re=1. It
means that depth smaller than 6 cm is not allowed in the sample.

Non-conformity of the class B is:

a)

If the single depth in the sample is smaller than 17 cm and bigger

than 12 cm in the I soil category, the AQL value is 2.5. From the table 3A the lot acceptance number is Ac=2 and number of rejections is Re=3.

b)

If the single depth in the sample is smaller than 8 cm and bigger than
6 cm in the II and III soil category, the AQL value is 2.5. From the table
3-A the lot acceptance number is Ac=2 and number of rejections is
Re=3.

Non-conformity of the class C is:

a)

If the single depth in the sample is smaller than 20 cm and bigger

than 17 cm in the I soil category, the AQL value is 4.5. From the table 3A the lot acceptance number is Ac=3 and the number of rejections is
Re=4.

b)

If the single depth in the sample is smaller than 10 cm and bigger

than 8 cm in the II and III soil category, the AQL value is 4.5. From the
table 3-A the lot acceptance number is Ac=3 and the number of
rejections is Re=4.

CONCLUSION
1
2
3

The lot is rejected if the medium measured depth in the sample is

smaller than the one defined by the project.
Singly measured depths from the class A are not allowed in the
samples, the AQL is very small (it is 0.1 in most cases).
Depending on the machine type, its quality of soil treatment depth,
separate non-conformities by defining the classes B and C are allowed
in the samples using the general different inspection levels (I, II and III)
and special inspection levels (S-1,S-2, S-3, S-4). Their number is

15

defined by selection of AQL value for the adequate average of soil

treatment depth.
