The States Parties to this Convention,

Awareness of the impact of acts of terrorism on global security,

Expressing their deep concern over acts of terrorism aimed at the total destruction of aircraft, other means of transport and other targets,

Concerned that plastic explosives and sheets have been used to carry out such acts of terrorism,

Whereas the marking of explosives for the purpose of detection would greatly contribute to the prevention of such illegal acts,

Recognizing that in order to prevent such illegal acts, it is necessary to establish an urgent international instrument obliging States to adopt measures to ensure that plastic explosives and sheets are properly marked,

Having regard to United Nations Security Council Resolution 635 of 14 June 1989, and to United Nations General Assembly Resolution 44/29 of 4 December 1989 urging the International Civil Aviation Organization Intensify its work to develop an international regime for the marking of plastic explosives or sheets for detection purposes,

Taking into account Resolution A27-8 adopted unanimously by the Assembly (27 ^E Session) of the International Civil Aviation Organization, which approved, by giving it the highest priority, the preparation of a new international instrument on the marking of plastic explosives or sheets for the purpose of Detection,

Noting with satisfaction the role played by the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization in the preparation of the Convention and its willingness to assume the functions related to the implementation of the Convention,

Technical Annex

1 ^Re Part Description of Explosives

I. Explosives referred to in s. 1 of the art. 1 of this Convention are those which:

(a): Consist of one or more powerful explosives which, in their pure form, have a vapour pressure of less than 10 ^-⁴ Pa at 25 ° C,
(b): In their formulation, include a binder, and
(c): Are, once mixed, malleable or flexible at the normal indoor temperature.

II. The following explosives, even if they respond to the description of the explosives that is given in s. I of this Part are not considered to be explosive as long as they continue to be held or used for the purposes mentioned below or remain incorporated in the manner indicated, namely explosives which:

(a): Are manufactured, or held, in limited quantities for laboratory purposes only for the purposes of duly authorized research, development or testing of new or modified explosives;
(b): Are manufactured, or held, in limited quantities for laboratory purposes only for the purposes of duly authorized activities for the detection of explosives and/or for the development or testing of explosives detection equipment;
(c): Are manufactured, or held, in limited quantities for laboratory purposes only for duly authorized purposes of forensic science, or
(d): Are intended to be incorporated or incorporated as an integral part in duly authorised military vehicles, within the territory of the State of manufacture, within three years of the entry into force of this Convention. Respect of the said State. The gear so produced during that three-year period shall be considered to be military vehicles duly authorized under s. 4 of Art. IV of this Convention.

III. In this Part:

-: By the expression "duly authorized" employed in paras. (a), (b) and (c) of s. II, it must be understood to be permissible under the laws and regulations of the State Party concerned;
-: The term "powerful explosives" includes cyclottetramethylene-tetranitramine (octogenic, HMX), pentaerythritol tetranitol (penthrite, PETN), and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (hexogen, RDX).

2 ^E Detect Agents Part

A detection agent is one of the substances listed in the table below. The detection agents described in the table below are intended to be used to make explosives more detectable by means of vapour detection. In each case, the introduction of an explosive detection agent is done in such a way as to achieve a homogeneous distribution in the finished product. The minimum concentration of a detection agent in the finished product at the time of manufacture is the one indicated in the table.

Table

Identification of the detection agent	Molecular formula	Molecular weight	Minimum Concentration
Ethylene glycol Dinitrate (EGDN)	C2H4 (NO3) 2	152	0.2 % by mass
2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMNB)	C6H12 (NO2) 2	176	0.1 % en masse
Para-Mononitrotoluene (p-MNT)	C7:7NO2	137	0.5 % mass
Ortho-Mononitrotoluene (o-MNT)	C7:7NO2	137	0.5 % mass

Any explosive which, by its natural composition, contains one of the detection agents designated at a concentration equal to or greater than the minimum required concentration, is considered to be marked.
