- Medium level - for work with explosive objects under supervision.
- In -depth level - for self -demining of territories.
- Qualification for specialized conditions - for example, in buildings.
- International level - certification that is recognized outside Ukraine.
Thanks to the new standard, experts will be qualified that meets international requirements.

- Cleaning of territories from explosive objects.
- Increasing the level of safety of citizens.
