Lastly, France is highly committed to improving the production of its munitions, and especially their reliability.

Assuming this is done, reliability assurance will be further improved the conduct of production Quality Assurance and Acceptance Testing (proof) during the production process.

Measures to account for and secure production, use, storage, transport, accounting, physical protection, licensing, reliability check of personnel (points 1 4, 6 9, 11 13 of the matrix)

The Swiss Matrix, Annex I to CCW GGE IX WG.1 1 dated 31 January 2005 identified that improvements in reliability will predominantly be achieved through enhancements in design, production and storage.

The cost of improving reliability

Importantly it should also be recognised that marked improvements in reliability cannot be delivered from improved production processes alone, but would necessarily have to come from significant changes in the base technologies used in EO.

Draft paragraph 3 (b) placed undue emphasis on the technology used and focused on reliability of method rather than on reliability of essence.

Matching the reliability, base load is actually irrelevant.

Reliability check of personnel (point 13 of the matrix)

This can lead to reliability problems, safety problems, and dudding.

(b) To adduce evidence of the non reliability of an electronic signature.

Microscopy, the standard WHO procedure, reaches from 40 to 60 percent reliability.

The success of the programme depended largely on the reliability of financial support.

In attempting to improve munition reliability it is important to appreciate that the cost improvement ratio is not linear and as such costs will tend to increase significantly as higher levels of reliability are sought.

In paragraph 279, UNFPA agreed with the recommendation of the Board of Auditors to (a) expedite the filling of vacant posts in the Division for Oversight Services and (b) improve its audit coverage on the reliability of the accounting and other data leading to the production of financial statements.

(a) To take reasonable steps to verify the reliability of an electronic signature or

Another area of concern was the reliability test contained in draft paragraph 3 (b).

An additional reliability test, as set out in draft paragraph 3 (b), was required.

As a result, the Panel considers the reliability of the EHS to be uncertain.

(a) Production and production capacity

Moreover, the Working Group had agreed to retain the reliability element in the draft convention.

To ignore those commitments would undermine the credibility and reliability of the international negotiating process.

The complainant criticized the reliability of the information concerning Sri Lanka that was before RRT.

In paragraph 279 of the report, UNFPA agreed with the Board's recommendation that it (a) expedite the filling of vacant posts in the Division of Oversight and Services and (b) improve its audit coverage on the reliability of the accounting and other data leading to the production of financial statements.

Once these risks are identified and prioritised, a more detailed and focused assessment on how to improve the reliability of specific munition natures could be undertaken and an approximate cost estimate to implement this increase in reliability could be determined.

A reliability centered maintenance program continually adjusted procedures based on actual performance data and operational experience.

Auditors' independence is a prerequisite for the reliability and credibility of the audit of financial statements.

(i) Better design including the inclusion of self destruct features, better explosive fill and increased reliability

It uses a system concept that can be realized without the need for conventional space reliability components.

Its basic objection was that there was no requirement of reliability in the general law of signatures.

Competitiveness in the globalization process is becoming increasingly reliant on comparative cost, reliability and timeliness of delivery.

In addition, several regional organizations have initiated work to improve the reliability of indicators within their regions.

French, Swiss, UK and German delegations have all presented works on improving reliability and identifying problematic munitions.

UNICEF has completed an assessment of the reliability and accuracy of the Supply Division key performance indicators.

We note that in order to achieve the objective of harmonization of laws relating to electronic commerce, the draft convention should contain either a uniform standard for the reliability requirement for electronic signatures (which can be in the form of a general reliability requirement as in paragraph 3 (b) of article 9), or no reliability requirement (which will be achieved if paragraph 3 (b) of article 9 were deleted).

Mr. Gregory (Canada) said that the new draft text did not supersede the reliability test, which, as interpreted by the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures, remained in force and unchanged, but constituted an alternative to it, which might be termed reliability in fact .

21. Calls upon relevant United Nations organizations to continue to improve transparency and reliability of humanitarian needs assessments

Such a reliability requirement merely transfers the prudential judgement from the relying party to the judge or adjudicator.

He pointed out, however, that the Model Laws had been enacted by many jurisdictions without the reliability test.

Production

UNOPS had to perform data cleansing in order to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial data.

Further, Saudi Arabia did not report that it had taken any measures to evaluate the reliability of the EHS.

Production technology

(ii) Production

Domestic production
