IED Clearance Good Practice Guide

4.3.CLASSIFICATION OF SIGNS In addition to the categories and types of signs explored above, MA staff can use two classifications of signs, according to the type of evidence the sign provides. The two classifications are ‘conclusive’ and ‘inconclusive’. 4.3.1.CONCLUSIVE A conclusive sign indicates that an IED is or has been present. This means that it can be classified as direct evidence in the MA land release process. A conclusive sign could include IED discardables or flattening / colour change / disturbance caused by regularly spaced IEDs in a defensive belt.
