Introduction to IATG
C2 Slide 1
Origins of IATG
2008 – Report to UN General Assembly• Problems arising from accumulation of (surplus)
conventional ammunition stockpiles• A need for effective stockpile management• Experts’ Recommendation: UN to develop technical
guidelines
“SaferGuard” programme (within the UN) developed “IATG” document set
C2 Slide 2
The Challenge
C2 Slide 3
Conventional Ammunition Stockpile Management
Main areas of activity: • Ammunition storage• Ammunition processing, inspection, surveillance,
proof, maintenance and repair• Ammunition accounting• Ammunition demilitarization or destruction• Security of ammunition stockpiles• Transport of ammunition
C2 Slide 4
How IATG Helps
“To reduce the hazard to local communities from unplanned explosive events and to negate the risks to wider communities posed by the uncontrolled proliferation of ammunition”
Low funding availability to State
Complex, expensive task to establish full system for stockpile management
IATG = a framework = flexibility = graduated plan = pragmatic solution

IATG’s Guiding Principles
Other international guidelines, regulations and guides include:
• International Labour Organization (ILO) - safety in the workplace
• International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - risk management (ISO Guide 51)
• Quality management systems (ISO 9001:2008 series)• Environmental management systems (ISO
14001:2004)• International protocols for the classification and
transport of conventional ammunition

Integrated Risk and Quality Management System
IATG is itself an integrated risk and quality management system
National Authorities should still develop their own specific systems for stockpile management
