Here you will find the current IMAS, supporting Technical Notes for Mine Action (TNMA) and Test & Evaluation Protocols (T&EP).
A number of standards have been translated into different languages. These documents are believed to be accurate translations. However, please note that the English-language IMAS are the only version endorsed by the IACG-MA and that they take precedence over non-English versions.
