Nordic countries to harmonise processes for certification of ammunition

Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have signed a Technical Arrangement on ammunition certification to harmonise Nordic processes for the certification of ammunition.

The objective is to ensure that Nordic countries have access to the same types of ammunition. A common process for certification will enable Nordic countries to procure ammunition together.

The document is one of the efforts to further deepen Nordic cooperation. Interoperability and common procurement processes will improve the security of supply throughout the Nordic region

Director General Olli Ruutu from the Ministry of Defence signed the document on behalf of Finland.
