VI. Methods of use of equipment.
A. The Parties agree to use linear measurement devices in the following manner:
1. Linear measurement devices shall be used to determine length, width, and height of objects by
measuring the straight-line distance between the extreme points of these objects or, if required, between
tangents drawn perpendicular to the direction of measurement from the outside points of curved surfaces.
2. The diameter of any cylindrical object shall be determined by measuring the circumference, by
directly measuring the diameter, or by measuring the distance between parallel lines that are vertical
tangents to the cylindrical surface of the object and that lie in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the
object. Such measurements shall be taken at several points along the length of that object.
3. In determining the dimensions of an object, each dimension shall be measured at least two
times. If the results of the first two measurements are within one percent of each other, then the results of
these two measurements shall be averaged to determine the dimension of the object. If the results of the
first two measurements are not within one percent of each other, additional measurements shall be taken
until results from two measurements are obtained that are within one percent of each other. The results of
these two measurements shall be averaged to determine the dimension of the object.
B. The Parties agree to use cameras in the following manner:
1. Before a member of the in-country escort takes photographs, inspectors shall have the right to
determine by observing through the viewfinder, that the object is in the camera's field of view and is in
focus. The inspected Party may take test photographs, which shall be the property of the inspected Party.
2. While taking photographs, the inspected Party shall, at the direction of inspectors or monitors
place a measuring stick or equivalent measuring device perpendicular to the ground and directly against
the object being photographed; the scale or length of such a measuring stick or equivalent measuring
device may be verified and recorded in the inspection report or continuous monitoring report, if the
inspection team or monitoring team so desires.
3. The Parties understand that the procedures agreed upon with respect to the taking of
photographs shall apply at all inspection sites, and at facilities subject to continuous monitoring and
monitored facilities.
C. The Parties agree to use engineering site survey equipment in the following manner:
1. The portable facsimile machine shall be stored within a secure structure or room at the facility
subject to continuous monitoring and the inspecting Party may provide a container that is locked by locks
and sealed by seals belonging to the inspecting Party. The method of storage shall require the presence of
representatives of both Parties for access to the portable facsimile machine. The portable facsimile
machine shall be operated by a member of the monitoring team in the presence of a member of the in-country escort. The inspected Party shall have the right to examine the information to be transmitted,
prior to the use of the portable facsimile machine, in order to ascertain that it does not contain images
that are not connected with the purposes of the engineering site survey.
2. At the request of the inspecting Party, the video camera and the portable recorder, and
photographic cameras shall be used by a member of the in-country escort.
D. The Parties shall agree within the framework of the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission on
methods of use for weighing devices for the purpose of confirming the launch weight of an ICBM or
SLBM of a new type.
E. The Parties agree to use satellite system receivers provided by the inspected Party to confirm the
geographic coordinates of silo launchers of ICBMs during reentry vehicle inspections and during the
inspection of a silo launcher of ICBMs from which an ICBM has been removed but which continues to
be considered to contain an ICBM in accordance with subparagraph 2(b) or 6(d) of Article III of the
Treaty during baseline data inspections, data update inspections, and new facility inspections. When
providing receivers for receiving signals from the satellite system that are used for determining the
coordinates of such a silo launcher of ICBMs, the inspected Party shall ensure that such receivers are
capable of providing such coordinate information at any time during the inspection for any silo launcher
of ICBMs located on the territory of the inspected Party. The Parties agree to use such receivers in the
following manner:
1. At the point of entry, the inspection team leader or an authorized representative of such a team
shall have the right to confirm, in accordance with the following procedures, that two satellite system
receivers provided by the inspected Party are operable:
(b) For The purpose of comparing the reading of one satellite system receiver with the reading of
another satellite system receiver the term "agree"shall mean that the reading of one satellite
system receiver differs from the reading of the other satellite system receiver by no more than
12 seconds in both latitude and longitude.
(c) For the purpose of confirming the operability of a satellite system receiver at the point of entry,
the term "agree" shall mean that the reading of the satellite system receiver differs from the
agreed geographic coordinates of The reference point by no more than 12 seconds in both
latitude and longitude.
(d) Determination of the agreed geographic coordinates of reference points used at a point of entry
for testing the operability of satellite system receivers shall be conducted in accordance with
The following procedures:
(ii) If at least three of the four latitude values thus obtained agree with each other; all of these
latitude values that agree with at least two other of the four latitude values, shall be averaged,
and that average shall be the agreed latitude value of the reference point;
(iii) If at least three of the four longitude values thus obtained agree with each other, all of these
longitude values that agree with at least two other of the four longitude values, shall be
averaged, and that average shall be the agreed longitude value of the reference point;
(iv) Agreed latitude values and agreed longitude values of the reference point thus obtained
shall be recorded to the nearest second and shall be The agreed geographic coordinates of
each reference point for the point of entry. A physical description of the reference point shall
also be recorded for each reference point. The inspected Party shall provide notification of
the determination of agreed geographic coordinates of reference points in accordance with
paragraph 28 of Section III of this Protocol;
(v) If agreed geographic coordinates for four reference points cannot be determined after the
procedures provided for in this subparagraph have been attempted at no fewer than six
proposed points, all agreed coordinates shall be discarded and the procedures provided
for in this subparagraph shall be repeated when an inspection team next arrives at this
point of entry to conduct an inspection.
(e) The operability of satellite system receivers shall be tested at each point of entry for which there
is at least one associated facility with silo launchers of ICBMs subject to inspection pursuant to
paragraph 2, 3, 4 or 6 of Article Xl of the Treaty. After the baseline data inspection period,
operability of the inspected Party's satellite system receivers may be tested at such points of
entry, at the discretion of the inspection team leader, for all inspections, except for inspections
conducted pursuant to paragraph 8 of Article XI of the Treaty, prior to the departure of the
inspection team for the site at a time agreed by the inspection team leader and a member of the
in-country escort. The time shall be agreed to as soon as possible following the arrival of the
inspection team at the point of entry. Testing shall be conducted in accordance with the
procedures contained in subparagraph (g) of this paragraph.
(f) Only for inspections conducted during the baseline data inspection period, testing of the
operability of the inspected Party's satellite system receivers shall be conducted in accordance
with the procedures contained in subparagraph (g) of this paragraph:
(ii) prior to the designation by the inspection team leader provided for in paragraph 15 of
Section V of this Protocol, of the type of inspection and inspection site, at a time agreed to
by the inspection team leader and a member of the in-country escort, provided that the
inspection team leader declares the inspecting Party's intent to use the satellite system
receivers during the first or a sequential inspection for which satellite system receivers
may be used.
(g) The operability of each of the inspected Party's satellite system receivers shall be tested at two
reference points. These two reference points shall be selected from the four reference points
with agreed geographic coordinates. The first reference point shall be selected by a member of
the in-country escort, and the second reference point shall be selected by the inspection team
leader or an authorized representative of such a team. A member of the in-country escort shall
accompany the inspectors to each reference point and shall bring the inspected Party's satellite
system receivers to that reference point:
(ii) If, at either of the two reference points, the reading of an inspected Party's satellite
system receiver does not agree with The agreed geographic coordinates of the reference
point, a member of the in-country escort shall take another reading using that satellite
system receiver. If, after at least two additional attempts, the reading of the satellite
system receiver still does not agree with the agreed geographic coordinates, the
inspected Party shall replace the satellite system receiver. The replacement satellite
system receiver shall be tested in accordance with the procedures contained in
subparagraph (g) of this paragraph. The testing of the inspected Party's satellite system
receivers shall continue until the inspected Party has provided two satellite system
receivers that are confirmed to be operable or until at least four different satellite system
receivers have been tested.
(iii) If the inspected Party is unable to provide two satellite system receivers whose operability
has been confirmed in accordance with the procedures contained in subparagraph (g) of
this paragraph, this fact shall be recorded in the inspection report and the inspection shall
proceed.
(h) The inspected Party shall have the right to change the reference points for use in testing the
operability of satellite system receivers. No more than two reference points may be changed at
any one time, unless otherwise agreed. Agreed geographic coordinates for the new reference
point shall be determined using the procedures in subparagraph 1(d) of this Subsection when
an inspection team next arrives at this point of entry to conduct an inspection after the proposed
effective date of a change specified in The notification provided by the inspected Party in
accordance with paragraph 29 of Section III of this Protocol. The new reference point shall
become effective upon determination of its agreed geographic coordinates. (58 JCIC Agreement No. 19, Article 2, Paragraph 1).
2. After confirming that the two receivers are fanctioning, a member of the in-country escort, in
the presence of the inspection team leader, shall place the receivers in a case or container that shall be
sealed by the inspection team leader and provided to a member of the in-country escort.
3. The sealed case or container shall remain in the custody of a member of the in-country escort
until the arrival of the inspection team at the silo launcher of ICBMs designated by the inspection team
leader.
4. Upon arrival of the inspection team or subgroup of the inspection team at a silo launcher of
ICBMs designated for inspection, inspectors shall use satellite system receivers that have been provided
by the inspected Party to determine the geographic coordinates of such silo launchers of ICBMs in
accordance with the following procedures:
(b) while at this location, specified in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, the
inspectors shall examine the container and the seal placed on the container to determine
whether the seal is intact and whether the container has been tampered with. If there is
evidence that the seal has been broken or that the container has been tampered with, this fact
shall be recorded in the inspection report and the inspection shall continue;
(c) A member of the in-country escort shall open the container and an inspector shall select one of
the two satellite system receivers provided by the inspected Party, the operability of which has
been confirmed in accordance with the procedures provided for in subparagraph 1(g) of this
Subsection;
(d) For the purpose of comparing the reading of a satellite system receiver with the geographic
coordinates of a designated silo launcher of ICBMs, listed in the Agreement on Exchange of
Geographic Coordinates and Site Diagrams, The term "agree" shall mean that:
(ii) if the geographic coordinates are expressed to the nearest minute, the reading of the
satellite system receiver differs from the geographic coordinates by no more that 60
seconds in both latitude and longitude;
(e) An inspector shall take readings using the selected satellite system receiver. If the satellite
system receiver readings and the geographic coordinates for the location of the designated silo
launcher of ICBMs, listed in the Agreement on Exchange of Geographic Coordinates and Site
Diagrams, agree, then the silo launcher of ICBMs shall be considered to be the designated silo
launcher of ICBMs and the coordinates determined by the satellite system receiver shall be
recorded in the inspection report despite the fact that the satellite system receiver readings
might also agree with geographic coordinates for The locations of other nearby silo launchers of
ICBMs, listed in the Agreement on Exchange of Geographic Coordinates and Site Diagrams. If
the satellite system receiver readings at the location selected by a member of the in-country
escort do not agree with the geographic coordinates for the designated silo launcher of ICBMs,
listed in the Agreement on Exchange of Geographic Coordinates and Site Diagrams, then
inspectors shall use the second satellite system receiver. If a satisfactory result cannot be
obtained with either of the two satellite system receivers, then a member of the in-country escort
shall choose another location closer to the silo launcher of ICBMs where an inspector shall take
readings using a satellite system receiver. If, after using both of the satellite system receivers at
any of the locations chosen by a member of the in-country escort, inspectors establish that the
readings of neither satellite system receiver agree with the geographic coordinates for this
designated silo launcher of ICBMs, and the inspectors are thus unable to ascertain that the silo
launcher of ICBMs is the designated silo launcher of ICBMs, this fact shall be recorded in the
inspection report and the inspection shall continue;
(f) Upon completion of the satellite system receivers' use, a member of the in-country escort, in the
presence of inspectors, shall place the satellite system receivers in a container. A
representative of the inspection team shall seal the container and provide The container to a
member of the in-country escort. (59 JCIC Agreement No. 19, Article 2, Paragraph 2.)

2. The radiation detection equipment shall be provided by the inspecting Party, unless otherwise
agreed by the Parties.
3. For an inspection conducted pursuant to paragraph 2, 3, 4, 6 or 12 of Article XI of The Treaty,
the Parties shall use radiation detection equipment in accordance with the procedures provided for in
Annex 15 to this Protocol
4. During an inspection conducted in accordance with Section III or IV of Annex 15 to this
Protocol, measurements of the radiation level shall be taken by the in-country escort in the presence of
inspectors. (60 JCIC Agreement No. 34, Article 2, Paragraph 1.)

PROCEDURES FOR ADDITIONAL CONFIRMATION OF
66 This Annex is included in this Protocol pursuant to Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission Agreement No. 7
of April 14, 1993.
I. Procedures for Conducting Exhibitions
1. Pursuant to subparagraph 5(d) of Annex 11 to this Protocol, the Russian Federation, hereinafter
referred to in this Annex as the exhibiting Party, shall conduct exhibitions of SLBMs of the types
designated by the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine
as RSM-40, RSM-50, RSM-52, and RSM-54, which are known to the United States of America as SS-N-8,
SS-N-18, SS-N-20, and SS-N-23, respectively, for the purpose of additional confirmation of the
dimensions of the first stages of such SLBMs. The exhibition of an SLBM of each such type:
(b) shall be conducted subject to the provisions of this Protocol, including paragraph 5 of Section III;
paragraphs 8 and 9 of Section V; paragraphs 15, 19, and 28 of Section VI; and paragraphs 4, 5, and 7 of
Section XIV; and using any of the equipment specified in Section III of Annex 8 to this Protocol; and
(c) shall be conducted during the first elimination of an SLBM of each such type.
2. The exhibiting Party shall provide to the United States of America, hereinafter referred to as the
inspecting Party, a notification through the Nuclear Risk Reduction Center no less than 30 days in
advance of each exhibition conducted in accordance with this Annex. Such notification shall include: The
type of SLBM to be exhibited, the location at which such exhibition will take place, and the date of such
exhibition.
3. The exhibiting Party shall have the right, at its discretion, to either exhibit an SLBM and,
simultaneously, a separate first stage of an SLBM of the same type, or to exhibit sequentially an SLBM
and then its separated first stage. The SLBM being exhibited for the purpose of additional confirmation of
the dimensions of the first stage of an SLBM of that type shall be an SLBM on which the exhibiting Party
shall have the right to carry out, before the exhibition, some of the procedures for the elimination of an
SLBM, to include removing some assemblies and elements of the SLBM. For sequential exhibitions of
the SLBM and its first stage, the exhibiting Party shall separate the first stage from the rest of the exhibited
SLBM, subject to the provisions of Section II of this Annex.
4. The inspecting Party shall have the right to confirm by external viewing and by measurement of the
dimensions of the SLBM being exhibited that it is an SLBM of the declared type. If inspectors are unable
to determine the type of SLBM, representatives of the exhibiting Party shall take steps to resolve the
problem. Such steps shall include the opportunity for the inspecting Party to measure those removed
assemblies and elements of the SLBM that contribute to the "Length of Assembled Missile Without Front
Section" for the type of SLBM being exhibited, specified in Annex F to the Memorandum of Understanding.
Upon completion of such viewing and such measurements, the SLBM being exhibited shall not be subject
to further inspection.
5. The inspecting Party shall have the right to confirm the length and diameter of the exhibited separate
first stage of the SLBM, or first stage of the SLBM separated during the exhibition, by measurement of its
dimensions. Such measurements shall be made in accordance with the procedures provided for in
paragraph 7 of Section XIV of this Protocol.
6. A member of the in-country escort, at the request of the inspectors, shall photograph the exhibited
separate or separated first stage of the SLBM, in order to obtain three photographs of that stage that meet
the requirements of paragraph 10 of Annex J to the Memorandum of Understanding. Such photographs
shall be produced using a camera system of the exhibiting Party. If an ambiguous situation arises, a
member of the in-country escort, at the request of the inspectors, shall take photographs using the camera
system of the inspecting Party, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 18 and 27 of Section VI of, and
Subsection B of Section VI of Annex 8 to, this Protocol.
7. The exhibiting Party shall provide the inspection team with one photograph of the first stage of the
exhibited SLBM. Such photograph shall meet the requirements of the agreement between the
Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics concluded on July 31, 1991, through the exchange of letters on the provisions of photographs
of items subject to the Treaty.
8. Pursuant to subparagraph 5(d) of Annex 11 to this Protocol, during the exhibition of the first stage of
the SS-N-20 SLBM provided for in this Annex, the inspecting Party shall also have the right to confirm the
diameter of the third stage of the SS-N-20 SLBM. A member of the in-country escort, at the request of the
inspectors, shall photograph the third stage of the SS-N-20 SLBM in order to obtain three photographs of
that stage that meet the requirements of paragraph 10 of Annex J to the Memorandum of Understanding.
Such photographs shall be produced using a camera system of the exhibiting Party. If an ambiguous
situation arises, a member of the In-country escort, at the request of the inspectors, shall take
photographs using the camera system of the inspecting Party, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 18
and 27 of Section VI of, and Subsection B of Section VI of Annex 8 to, this Protocol.
II. Procedures for Separating an SLBM First Stage from the SLBM Being Exhibited
1. After the inspectors have confirmed the type of an SLBM pursuant to paragraph 4 of Section I of this
Annex, the exhibiting Party shall have the right to separate, outside the field of view of inspectors, the first
stage from the rest of the SLBM being exhibited at the location where the first stage separates from an
SLBM during its flight, by mechanical severing of the missile's airframe by pyrotechnic devices of the
missile, provided that the process of separation is carried out in such a way as to permit inspectors to
ascertain that the first stage, the dimensions of which they will confirm, belongs to the SLBM being
exhibited, the type of which they had previously confirmed.
2. Before the first stage is separated from the rest of the SLBM being exhibited, inspectors shall have the
right to view the room or area in which the first stage will be separated, to ascertain that the room or area
does not contain another first stage of an SLBM of that type.
3. During the entire process of first stage separation, the inspectors shall have the right to observe all
exits of the room or area where the process of separating the first stage from the SLBM is carried out.
THE DIMENSIONS OF FIRST STAGES OF SLBMS (a) shall be considered to be a technical characteristics exhibition pursuant to paragraph 11 of Article
XI of the Treaty;
